A different kind of geekdom

[georgetheduck]

Okay, it's really starting to disturb me that people can post song lyrics up here and other people can guess them, but I have NO IDEA what they come from... and once I hear the band and song name, ... I STILL have no idea even what kind of music it is. I've gotten really out of touch with "the new music", I guess

Here's a start...

1. apres un reve- faure
3, I think is from a Mignon song.. and i think it might be Am Mignon.
7. Les Illuminations - Britten - Rimbaud, i think is the poet's name

[georgetheduck]

yes
no (hint... we DID come close to mentioning it when talking about Schubert today)
yes

8. The aria you sang last year from Don Pasquale? (wild stab in the dark)
10. Erlkönig - Schubert

[georgetheduck]

umm, no

yes

Dave, I was hoping for more from you! There's lots of baritone rep in there, which means the average person has like... a 2% chance of knowing any of it!

Don't ever rely on me for an extensive knowledge of baritone rep--remember that I spend probably about 10 % the amount of time in the practice room that you do. And I don't tend to pay attention to lyrics in masterclass unless they're in English or French. :P

9 is Vaughan Williams "Whither Must I Wander"

(Not bad for a tenor, eh?)

[orianad]

For the record, it's Pretentious Indie music, not emo.

8 is... le violette by someone from the italian book.... scarlatti! yarr. i hate this song.
