| dc.description.abstract | Son of Man is a rock opera currently being composed by Nathan Berry. The writing process began in the summer of 2016, and the project will culminate in the production and release of a studio album recording of the show. This record is slated to be released by the end of 2017. The book, lyrics, and music are all written by Berry; the lyrics have been completed and there are only a few songs that have yet to be set to music. The department honors project centered on Berry's senior recital, which featured live musicians performing eleven of the show's twenty-one songs. These eleven songs were selected to lay out the structural skeleton of the show's narrative. Contained in this document are the following items: the program and program notes (which include a description of the plot) from Berry's recital on April 28th, 2017, full scores of the eleven songs that were performed live, lyrics of all twenty-one songs, and artwork created for the project by Kevin Harrington-Bain.
