The Lakeland College music department had their second semester recital in the Bradley Building, on Tuesday, April 3, during the 11:00 convocation. Thirteen students performed a variety of music for the moderate sized audience.
Hoang Dang started off the recital with Bach's fast tempo piece, "Prelude in C Minor." This song was rather repetitive and short, but made for a good opener.
Next to perform was Clarissa Dimel who sang "Porgi, Amor" by Mozart. This slow moving Latin piece was sung well. Dimel had good tone and excellent vibrato.
Eric Adcock, a baritone vocalist, performed fourth in the recital with Johann-Paul Martini's piece "Plaisir d'amour." Adcock's was easy to hear; however, it was difficult to understand the words he was singing. Though Adcock's piece was sung in Latin, the words seemed to mumble together. Maybe that's what I get for sitting in the back of the auditorium.
Brittany Wierzbach performed twice throughout the recital. Her first was a vocal solo written by Franz Schubert called "Ständchen." Singing high in the soprano range made the words tough to understand, but she sure showed off her talents with vibrato and amazing sound.
Wierzbach's second performance was a duet with Emily Rendall. They performed "Pie Jesu" from Requiem by Andrew Lloyd Webber. This slow moving piece showed amazing harmony between the soprano and alto voices.
Rendall's first performance was Mozart's "Als Luise die Briefe ihres ungetreuen Liebhabers vebrantte" This piece was short, but the intensity of the song made up for that. Rendall had good tone in her voice which made this song easy to comprehend.
Andras Viski's music was the most featured throughout the recital. Elisabeth Daniels performed his "Intermezzo" on the piano. The tempo change in the middle of the song made for a great performance.
Drea E. Wagner performed three times throughout the entire recital. She performed first on the piano and second on the organ and last vocally. She sounded as though she practiced non-stop which paid off with her three great performances.
