This graduate degree recital presents a diverse program spanning sacred music, opera, art song, and spirituals. Beginning with works by Bach and Mozart, the recital explores themes of faith and devotion before moving to Mozart's lively operatic portrayals of youthful love. Schumann's Frauenliebe und Leben serves as the centerpiece, tracing a woman's journey through love, marriage, motherhood, and loss. Debussy's French mélodies offer poetic beauty and impressionistic color, while works by Hall Johnson, Florence Price, Moses Hogan, and Ricky Ian Gordon celebrate the richness of the American vocal tradition. This recital reflects Elycia’s artistic growth, personal expression, and commitment to communicating the profound stories and emotions that connect performers and audiences across cultures and generations.
