Senior Organ Recital - A Music Senior Thesis in Instrumental Performance

Abstract

I, Ryan Boren, a music major with an instrumental performance emphasis (organ), propose the completion of my senior thesis by means of a full recital. This thesis will include a research component with the production of detailed program notes, and a performance demonstrating proficiency in preparing and performing large-scale works from a variety of styles. The repertoire for the recital shall include: J.S. Bach’s Passacaglia in C Minor, BWV 582, Franz Liszt’s Prelude and Fugue on B-A-C-H, and Charles-Marie Widor’s Organ Symphony No. 6.
