Last Wednesday Zachary Singer performed a nearly flawless junior voice recital in the Hamilton Recital Hall.

Singer, a junior baritone in the Lamont School of Music performed a variety of selections of music including compositions written by Franz Schubert, Wolfgang Mozart, Robert Schumann and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.

A highlight of the show were three movements from Felix Mendelsoohn Bartholdy’s “Elijah Op. 70.”

These were the only selections sung in English. The first part “Lord God of Abraham” had a sweet melody. Singer’s tone was rich and full.

The second section titled “For the Mountain Shall Depart” was quite lovely and the music ended on a sigh with Singer’s voice lingering subtly.

The third section titled, “It is enough” showed Singer’s impressive range with soaring high notes and rich low notes.

Another highlight was the last composition of the evening written by Jacques Ibert titled “Chansons de Don Quichotte.”

During the first section, “Chanson du Depart-Song of Departure,” Singer had an incredibly rich tone and great pronunciation.

The second section, “Chanson a Dulcinee- Song for Dulcina” had a lovely melody that flowed and Singer’s voice seemed to caress the music.

The third section performed, “Chanson du Duc- Song of the Duke” was upbeat and snappy. Singer’s voice had a completely different feel for this section and his voice had a light and expressive quality to it.

Other notable selections were “Deh Vieni alla Finestra” from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni, K. 527” and “Der Hidalgo, Op. 30, No. 3” written by Robert Schumann.

Singer was accompanied by Kevin Kennedy on piano.
