Because I finished the repertoire part of my exam in June, all my music is fairly new. And by new I mean under a year and a half old. Stuff doesn't become perfect quickly. Anyway, this means that for the concert in three weeks I have been doing fun stuff. I get to sing a Christmas carol and I get to re-polish two old songs that are my favorites. It is incredibly gratifying to redo a song that has not been dusted off in eight? years. I have new skills and new emotions. The poetry is different and the same. Songs have power regardless of what grade the book says they are in.
I am also sick, so working on songs with easier range is always a plus, when the goal is not to stress to tighten my instrument.
I think next time I have to talk about the link between no singing and my inability to regulate my own emotions.
Wanna see what I have as my desktop? I knew you did.
Pretty, yes. Pretty, pretty, pretty. Think of the poor people in hot countries who never get to see something like this. Plus they have to live in the heat all the time! I feel sorry for them.
