Song Notes and Dedications: 

1. A Question of Honour - this was performed live first at the Mutya Ng San Antonio and was also performed at the 1st Miss Possibilities . Dedicated to my loving fans who also watched my talent part during the Miss Possibilities last October 7th. The intro starts with an excerpt of La Wally's "Ebben l'andoro lontana" then the transition is in the art rock music. 

2. I Belong to Me (From the Musical, "Elizabeth") - a repertoire written in 3 lanuages (including the recorded here in English), German and Dutch. This song is extremely related to my life story (similar as Sissi in the musical) where I exeprienced such mismanagements, hardships, troubled times, and turbulence over the past years in life where I described myself that I belong to myself because it is only myself to gain such motivation and courage from those bad past times. 

3. Love Never Dies (From the Musical "Love Never Dies") - This repertoire is from the Sequel Musical of "The Phantom of the Opera", "Love Never Dies" where I performed this in the 2015 Music Festival at St. Scholastica's School Of Music. The repertoire simply talks about love in deep details ... the musical form is way more unusual in terms of the tempo change to 4/4 to 6/8. 

4. Light of the Million Mornings - An gospel anthem performed by Sandi Patty in the 80s when the propagation of Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston Music was a trend in the era. The arrangement started with an soft orchestral intro then builted in the semi majestic form (the mezzo forte to forte) then the modulation part was now on the majestic energy with glorious high ending (the fortissimo to the fortississimo). This requires a lot of broad vocal dynamics due to the harsh difficulity of the repertoire. 

5. Mutya Ng Pasig - One of my contest pieces for my 2014 vocal contests (Paligsining ng mga batang may K and Kundiman Sa Makati) where I got the top prize on both. Where others called the song as one of my signatured songs.

Recording dramatics:

Of course like any other musicians, repetition is usual in this recording process. This songs where recorded before my choral rehearsal. Of course song choices are all my favorites to sing because of it's good quality and fit for a high quality recording.

This recordings are for entertainment purposes only. This is not for commercializing yet for my vocal samples OK? 

Enjoy !!

Vell Baria - Птицы Белая

From the Christmas Cantata "Everlasting Light:

A Christmas Carol for a Dark World" by Claire Cloninger & Mark Hayes with Musical settings arranged by Mark Hayes. Released in 1996 both recording and the choral score. This cantata will give us these timeless message of hope and delight whilst the darkest times we need the Lord. 

"Light of the Million Mornings" was composed by Claire Cloninger, Mark Germsehl and Mark Hayes. Originally recorded by Sandi Patty for the 1996 release of the cantata's album. It was the 6th song from the cantata. 

This song talks about how we struggle ourselves as we are suffering those turbulent challenges, where in those shadows surrounded in us. On the brighter side of change as the middle of the song approaches, we are into this deeper realization that we are touched and seen by the light of grace where the angels heard our prayers and plea to get out of those dark and troublesome life. As we are in much awe to regain such hope and love out of those angels calling out our name and heed their call for us to rise up once more.
