ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to thank my committee members for the encouragement and
guidance they have offered me during my graduate studies at The Florida State
University College of Music. This dissertation is a synthesis of their influence and my
studies while pursuing my degree at Florida State University.
Many relatives, friends and teachers have supported me throughout my
educational endeavors and I am grateful for your positive influence in my life. Finally, I
must extend my deep appreciation for my faithful choir member, Frances Kratt, who
spent many hours proofreading this document.
