My collaborative pianist ...Ah, you lovely woman. <br /><br />My collaborative pianist and I have set up a series of many lecture recitals over the past two years. They always do have a theme, yes, but they also keep me so honest about learning music and being real with the text. Nothing like singing poetry to make one think about things. <br /><br />I hope you post some of your recital. Up next for me, "The History of the Opera Aria". Oh! ShOOt! That is really, friggin' hard to sing 8 arias in a row! Yipes! Alas...too late now. <br /><br />Then...Español! Woot!<br /><br />Love ya, girlie!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306696856249901848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3390102516093123359.post-14677284606477526422010-11-07T05:56:40.631-08:002010-11-07T05:56:40.631-08:00Love this post, Christie. Piano partner indeed. ...Love this post, Christie. Piano partner indeed. You can sink or soar with who is at the keyboard.<br /><br />I'm pretty much limited to choral music these days, and have also been thinking that for the most part "not clapping" between songs, unless there is no pause, is almost passe. Everyone coughs like you said, ruining whatever musical moment is caused by the silence, the ones that clap are made to feel like idiots by the superior snobs that know better and shush them. If they liked it, let them clap. In some music, it's almost unavoidable, most recently with Rutter's Gloria. Try not clapping after that 1st movement. Maybe that's just us rednecks in Texas.<br /><br />My solo recital days are LONG behind me, but I feel privileged to have had you involved in the 1 that I was required to give, even though you upstaged me, you diva! :)<br /><br />Have a great show. I hope you can post some of the songs so that we can see it here in the states. How about a Rogers & Hart night, maybe not next, but down the line. I think you'd be terrific at interpreting some of those songs.<br /><br />SethTCCBodhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05582616680652325935noreply@blogger.com
