my post on the snowy sunday ☃️

Coming at you from the washeteria once more. Though I have a book chapter (+20 more,) to write, I realized I had clothes that needed washing. While waiting for a drier I remembered a couple of friends being surprised I could sing (see the half-butchered Irish lullaby,) and picked from my old repertoire. We have: 'In de fremde' 'The Daisies' and 'Ideale' . I remember being excited when Mr David Wylie gave me 'In der fremde'. I had heard it performed in a Faculty recital and fell in love with it, almost hugging my music teacher in the process! 'The Daisies' was an excercise in not crooning and drove me crazy at times. Hopefully some justice was done with it today. 'Ideale' was my favorite Tosti piece. I can remember performing that one in General Recital and catching a glimpse of my old teacher in the audience, sitting back and smiling. . As always, apologies for the diction. Though I was classically trained for five or so years, I ultimately graduated with a History degree (and Geology minor.) I did have French in my repertoire but none of sentimentality come to mind. I also had one Spanish piece (which was cheating as I'm Half-Hispanic and familiar with the language since early childhood 😂) . #music #clasicallytrained #classicalmusic #forgivemydiction #germanlieder #englishartsong #Italian #formermusicmajor #acapella #nerdjock #nerd https://www.instagram.com/p/CLkRiViA0Pj/?igshid=5oexv027a7l3
