I had to send off some recordings, so I thought I'd share them. Recorded myself, so forgive poor sound quality!

Einsam in trüben Tagen - Elsa - Lohengrin - R.Wagner

recorded last week, a very rough demo of Isolde's final aria.

Liebestod from Tristan & Isolde - rough demo with Piano

poorly recorded in Garageband
written yesterday by me
lyrics John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester
contains nob references

Song of a Young Lady to Her Ancient Lover

bit of Shakespeare, tune by me (though convinced I've nicked it from somewhere), mercifully brief.
poorly recorded, this time with added drilling, in GarageBand.

Under The Greenwood Tree

Another day, another song. A cavalier provided the words for this, no less. Sir John Suckling.
words me, badly recorded (blah blah blah) GarageBand, this time I hit at least one wrong chord and manage to put a "t" on the end of "course". skillz.

I am working towards a set of poems, I have quite a few more than this & the other two here, but trying to save some for when I can perform them live or record them properly.

Youkali

a short clip to show how voices change. I recorded the same aria with comparable equipment (though with a dodgy cable the first time, whoops) 3 years apart.

picture that soundcloud turned sideways (THANKS) of me with my voice changing teacher and all-round hero, Pamela Kuhn.
