each phrase of the hymn, OR
- create another appropriate introduction

Each DM recital must demonstrate the ability to play at least one work from memory. During the complete sequence of the three required DM degree recitals, a total of 40-45 minutes of memorized music must be performed. This may be achieved by performing one entire recital from memory, or split among the three recitals.
