You and I

Closing piece from my graduation recital at Bishop's University.

Aria from Handel’s Semele. It is in the genre of “musical drama” and based off of the style of oratorio, in which Handel was an expert. This aria is sung by Juno, whose Greek name is Hera. She is the wife of Zeus, who is widely known as a megalomaniac, meaning that he is obsessed with his own power. His obsession goes so far as forcing his power over many women who are NOT his wife. Juno is used to his behaviour by this time, and has made getting her revenge as a sort of game.  She devises a plan to destroy Zeus’ latest mistress, Semele, and when she succeeds she triumphantly sings this aria.

Above Measure Is Pleasure - George Frederic Handel

Piece from my graduation recital at Bishop's University. I posted another version a couple of years ago, and so this one is a more recent version of it.

This French mélodie is a straightforward narration of the goddess Hebe performing her duty of serving the Olympian gods. It is also known in her mythology that once she leaves, no one remembers her presence. When I imagine the poetry in this piece, I think of it as being in slow motion, as if the goddess is just floating from cup to cup.
