"Jun-You Zheng Vocal Recital-Cantata and Psalm". centers on religious-themed repertoire, featuring six meticulously curated sets of sacred music. Spanning from the Baroque period to contemporary American works, the program includes 18 pieces: a German Cantata, an English Cantata, a Little German cantata, a German psalm, an English song cycle, and a French song cycle.

The first half of the recital showcases German works,beginning with Bach’s jubilant Cantata "Ich weiß, daß mein Erlöser lebt", traditionally performed on Easter Sunday to celebrate Christ’s resurrection. This is followed by Mozart’s "Die ihr des unermesslichen Weltalls Schöpfer ehrt", a Little German Cantata reflecting Masonic ideals of utopia. Liszt’s Psalm 23, S. 15 concludes the half, blending his symphonic techniques with the widely revered Psalm 23 to create a unique musical interpretation.

The second half opens with Honegger’s "Trois Psaumes",an artistic blend of Renaissance chorale melodies, contrapuntal techniques, and the composer’s personal stylistic elements. Next is Rorem’s "Cycle of Holy Songs", a four-song cycle based on the Psalms. The first three songs share a recurring motif, lending them an overall coherence and the composer employs varied musical elements to express distinct emotions. The final piece, Psalm 150, brings the cycle to a majestic conclusion, offering resounding praise to the Lord. The program closes with Carter’s Cantata, a solo vocal work that diverges from traditional oratorio forms. Incorporating African American spirituals and jazz influences, Carter’s work reimagines sacred music with modern textures and vibrant energy.

Driven by a passion for rare and underperformed repertoire, the performer conducted extensive research to uncover these lesser-known works, which remain underrepresented in Taiwanese vocal music studies. This recital highlights the evolution of religious music across time and geography, inviting the audience to experience the dynamic interplay between diverse compositional styles and poetic texts. By presenting a repertoire ranging from classical German-Austrian traditions to contemporary French and American pieces, the recital contributes meaningfully to the study and performance of sacred vocal music in Taiwan.
