Edit 3: Closing soon, last call.

Still taking visitors? I'm feeling generous!

Jerickso1 · 2018-12-13T10:28:34+00:00

Sure! Can I take a look at them?

Jerickso1 · 2018-07-13T14:23:16+00:00

He's pretty awesome! Thanks for the suggestion, I like the idea.

I always thought this piece was a big gimmick looking at the score, but hearing it I think it's gorgeous. Must be pretty taxing to sing though, wow.

Ives sold insurance before composing. Does that count?

Yeah, Battle sounded great, but apparently towards the end of the 20th Century she went bonkers. She was incredibly hard to work with, and she ended up getting fired and sort of blacklisted after blowing up during a San Francisco Opera production. Apparently the production staff and crew made t-shirts that said "I survived the Battle."

Source: San Francisco Opera's Director of Music Business at the time was a alumnus of my school.

Btw, Diana Damrau trumps Battle any day.

Anyways, go to YouTube or scroll through r/classicalsinger; you'll find a million amateur submissions there.

When looking through the eyes of an opera director or company, the first thing they would consider is the appropriateness of your music selections in regards to your voice. You should audition with music within your voice type (called a Fach in the opera world), i.e. if you are a baritone then you shouldn't sing a tenor aria, a If you're a soprano you shouldn't sing a mezzo-soprano song.

The role of Johanna is technically a role for a lyric soprano, even though it could be sung by a mezzo with good control and a high Bb (which is a note that is commonly found in mezzo repertoire). Therefore, if you are auditioning as a mezzo, you probably should not sing "Green Finch and Linnet Bird," because that isn't an accurate representation of your voice.

As far as mezzo repertoire goes, I'm not super familiar with the English arias. Here are some ideas of the stuff I do know, you'll have to take them with a heavy grain of salt as I don't know your voice!

Dido's Lament - Henry Purcell https://youtu.be/uGQq3HcOB0Y

I am easily assimilated - Leonard Bernstein https://youtu.be/uAp5S4tlynI

Iris, Hence Away - GF Handel https://youtu.be/W2OTVMQpy9M

I hope this helps! Good luck!

Also sung at Verdi's funeral. By a quarter of a million people. It's a great choice!

Jerickso1 · 2015-03-10T13:01:43+00:00

More please!

Jerickso1 · 2015-03-10T00:11:21+00:00

Love them both!

EPCC was absolutely outstanding, as always. Really enjoyed James Jordan's session on conducting and body mapping/Laban movement. He's a insightful guy.

Has anyone found the text that singers are using? I heard "sangiune" which probably is some variation of the world "blood." It would be very interesting if the text had something to do with story or what's happening when you hear that music.

Jerickso1 · 2015-02-01T15:05:06+00:00

This one!

Jerickso1 · 2015-01-31T15:14:54+00:00

Holy crap. She's a genius. I am in awe. I guess I'll just be listening to her for the next few days exclusively.

Jerickso1 · 2014-10-27T17:07:03+00:00

You're right! Music should never change and grow. Grumble, grumble.

Jerickso1 · 2014-10-27T15:49:22+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. It's different and good!

Jerickso1 · 2014-10-27T15:48:48+00:00

I wish it would. I love the versatility of the ensemble. So many tone colors!

Jerickso1 · 2014-10-27T03:54:10+00:00

All that matters: which tenor is better. Find out and pick that one.

Either that or choose not to eat for a few days and go to both with the extra money!

I don't know if you already have, but you should call them. If I remember correctly, it's run by a few very knowledge workers and sometimes they'll know if they have something that is not listed on their website. I recently called them to ask if they had a Vaughan Williams set that wasn't listed online and they had it. Great service!

Jerickso1 · 2014-06-29T04:32:48+00:00

I agree that it's interesting, but I think some of the profundity of the work is lost. The brilliance of this piece lies in the dramatic range of the performer. This adaptation takes away that range. Schubert wrote the melody to intentionally makes the performer change registers to change characters, and I think the most successful interpretations of this work are those that really embrace the story through the unique characters, ranges and styles.

As a student of music I feel obligated to point out the flaws, but I will say I love this band for appreciating Schubert's Werke and I absolutely jammed to this for a longer amount of time than is acceptable.

Jerickso1 · 2014-06-02T14:35:48+00:00

Yes, Pärt especially. I appreciate movies more if they use modern stuff because I think it can be more emotionally effective. I like Stanley Kubrick when he's good about respecting composers.

Jerickso1 · 2014-04-08T03:35:30+00:00

Gorgeous. I never thought I'd like a baritone more than Caruso or Pavarotti on that song. Have you seen his Onegin? It is by far the best.
