Falling in Love

I love love love this new song! This old song... this old song that's new to ME! Many of the others had to grow on me. Apres un Reve... wasn't so sure at first but then I grew to love it as I learned it. Ouvre ton Coeur too. But this one, I loved the first time I heard it. I love how I sound singing it, I love the challenges it poses me, and so on. It's full of triplets and I love love love that!!! I have fallen in love with the music and the lyrics. I keep thinking about the meaning and how to convey that when I sing. But I have to slow myself down and master the technical side of the singing, getting the breathing right, the vowels, the legato, especially the legato, because one thing I know is, if I start thinking about that other stuff the legato will be the first thing to go. Ahh. If music be the food of love, sing on. Yum. All my senses feasted are; tho yet the treat is only sound. Sure I must perish by your charms unless you save me in your arms. Ahh I'm speechless.

Did I ever mention that PURCELL IS MY FAVORITE COMPOSER AFTER MOZART!

:-)

I'm singing "When I am laid in Earth" right now. It's so beautiful (the song...not me singing it...)

Yeah... I was just practicing when you left your comment and I was thinking the same thing... Stuffy nose + high notes = horrifying sound.
