March 29 Senior Composition Recital: Jordy Hake

On March 29, Jordy Hake presented his senior composition recital. Jordy is a Music Theory and Composition major, as well as an accomplished baritone. After graduation, Jordy hopes to attend graduate school and acquire his MM degree in composition.

The first half of his recital was devoted to his vocal performance: he sang works by Schubert, Debussy, Hoiby, Mozart, and Rossini. The second half of the program consisted of Jordy’s original compositions. Bradley Hofmann, Brian Hofmann, and Dylan Coleman performed “Frenetic,” trio for trumpet, vibraphone, and drum set. A woodwind quintet followed, performed by Laurie Tietjen, Amanda Miles, Elizabeth Carlson, Canon Alsup, and Michael Petete.

Next, the audience listened to electronic composition “Irrational Outbursts: A Mathematical Jest in Three Fits,” which was then followed by “Astronomy,” performed by soprano Lydia Burnett and pianist Caleb Lawson. Ryan Moore brought the recital to a close by performing “Five Piano Miniatures.” The Music Department is very proud of Jordy’s accomplishments and wishes him success in his future endeavors.
