Snobbery

[nightsashke]

Ok...

I forgot just how much of a vocal performance snob I actually am... Maybe grubbybastard can help me out with this...or at least provide a shoulder to cry on...

zibacco posted a vid of For Unto Us a Child is Born and it made me realize that I hadn't listened to Messiah in awhile. So, I start looking around on youtube for pieces in their entirety...or...parts

I think I want to marry you and bear your babies.

We can deal with that whole gay/bi thing much later.

I just saw Handel preformed last weekend. And I had so very many of the same reactions to the people who were on the stage doing the soprano/alto/tenor/base parts....though the choir in the background was truly amazing.

I don't have the trained ear, but a lot of the recording on there were simply awful. Then again, its somebody's church group, so I cut them some slack. People especially had trouble with the trill thing that backs up the "unto us" vocal.

I'm not overly Messiah-ish myself and do not have a recording of it, much less a favorite recording. :(

[nightsashke]

What good are you?!? ;) I didn't think I was...until I've been listening today and realized I have the bass line memorized for the entire piece...

I have really got to find a chorus to join in NC.

I think this will help...

Let me know what you find? I'd be interested in picking it up.

ok, I just have to say it because you set it up...Ashke...you can find me right? XD

ANYWAY...I sort of know what you mean, With Phantom...I loved the movie, but absolutely loathed the guy they chose for phantom because of his voice, lol.
