Part something in my series on how tenors are really mezzo sopranos. This is Moving Too Fast from the Last 5 Years popularized by Norbert Leo Butz.

My backing is a little too loud, and I'm using a bad desk mic simultaneously recording me & youtube karaoke track. Enjoy the grade A quality.

Also, I ironically forgot what I was doing when I went to sing the word 'bumpy.' 

Think of this as in honor of the Tony Awards. 

Moving Too Fast

So, I made a vague attempt at this very difficult aria with a nice youtube backing track. This is from Samson et Dalila by Saint-Saens. I didn't do the ending because quite honestly I mucked it up. I've never sung this before. So, I basically listened to a few versions and gave it a go. The French is terrible in some places, and my descending half note bits are a little wonky. But I felt like singing today! Also, forgive my microphone for getting overpowered. I stood like 5 feet away.

Mon Coeur S'ouvre À Ta Voix

Part billion in me singing tenor musical theater numbers. This one I had to re-record about 6 times, and my voice is half shot. This is one of my favorite (and most underrated) musical theater scores of all times. So, appreciate me half-impersonating John Cameron Mitchell's Dickon accent and half-forgetting any sort of accent.

Winters On The Wing

Hochlanders Witwe

Not my best rendition of this, but the only recording of it I have. From Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice.

Che Faro senza Euridice

From a Charm of Lullabies by Benjamin Britten. Appreciate me trying to do the accent... sorta..

Highland Balou

This is the exact same text as The Highland Balou, but in German.. and by Schumann. I sang both on the same recital. I loved the idea of competing interpretations. The one was much harder to sing because of the ascending vocal line endings tho.

FSU Junior Recital

Hochlanders Wiegenlied

I'm uploading this so you can hear my old A5. I'll try to vocalize up to it right now so you can hear my... rusty A5. =)

Fantoches

All'acquisto Di Gloria

Part II in how broadway tenors are really mezzo sopranos. This one was harder because the only karaoke track I could was in G which I think is actually a slightly lower key than is on the OBC recording. So, the lows were actually a little harder for me than usual...

Anyhoo, enjoy my desk mic/youtube karaoke of Lost in the Wilderness from Children of Eden made famous by Darius de Haas.
