The Recital Proposal should be submitted to your recital committee members by the end of Week 3 of Fall Term (or two terms before your recital is to take place). The Recital Proposal should contain your repertoire in program order, including the following:
- Song titles
- Composer/Arranger
- Key of each song
- Tempo and feel of each song
- Duration of each song
- Road map (i.e. order of solos, arrangement plans, etc.)
- Performance goals and/or reason for inclusion in program
- This may vary piece to piece… You may want to include a song for personal reasons, or you may want to include a song to demonstrate a technique you’ve been working on while in school (e.g. up-tempo playing, in & out playing, etc.)
- Lead sheets and/or scores for each song
Your recital proposal should also list the following:
- Ensemble personnel
- Rehearsal dates
- Pre-recital hearing date/time
- Recital date/time
If there are any compositions/arrangements still to be completed, you must also include a timeline detailing your plans for completion (i.e. when you will have the piece composed/arranged, and when parts will be sent to the musicians).
