Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte E che sospiri la liberta E che sospiri E che sospiri la liberta Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte E che sospiri la liberta Il duolo infranga queste ritorte De miei martiri sol per pieta De miei martiri sol per pieta Lascia ch'io pianga mia cruda sorte E che sospiri la liberta
Dear professor what ones say when we find such a video comparing to others; not thank you enough. Such a tutorial video, God. I almost cry fron satisfaction; because when you are not a beginner and you find time looser 's videos; you feel... Just , thank you and please I will be your follower for ever... ( Spain) The book shelves on one side...should us how much you analyze and study each word you say.
This aria is regarded as a masterpiece, reflecting the artistic pinnacle of vocal classics. When I actually listen to it, it reminds me of a certain serial drama. Its ability to evoke memories or associations with a television drama illustrates the profound impact that visual media can have on our perception of music. The power of television to influence and alter our emotional response to music is indeed formidable, demonstrating that music transcends mere sound to become a catalyst for powerful emotions and memories.
It is a stunning piece - small, yet absolutely perfectly formed. All its parts contribute to the perfect whole, every note and chord carefully curated by a truly great composer. 😁🎶
This is so helpful. Your teaching methods are marvelous. I do have a question about the vowels. I am beginning to get a nice round tone on most of the vowels but the “eh” sound just doesn’t sound good. Any hints for working on this? Thank you for all you do.
Hey there! So glad you're finding the videos helpful. I'm guessing you mean "eh" as in the open "e" in words like "bed" and "men"? It could be that your mouth shape is a bit too wide. Try singing an "ooh" on one note, and slowly transitioning to an "eh" sound whilst maintaining the "ooh" mouth shape. Hopefully, you'll find a sound for the "eh" which you'll like better. Let me know how you get on! 😀

@@singingtips1 you nailed it. As soon as I took the new mouth shape, the “eh” sound really came out nice and round now I just have to make that mouth shape automatic. that will be the next challenge. Thank you so much for your insight.
Well done. I'm Peter from FL USA and this is one of my favorite arias. I'm not a professional singer, but love t sing along. Interesting that my fav composer in Tchaikovsky, but enjoy melodic and full orchestration music including arias for tenors or sopranos. I enjoyed your class very much. It would be nice if you could teach a lesson on Ombra mai fu!
@@huoxiaoyu1586 Hi! I talk a lot about the "ah" space - like when you yawn and your mouth and throat are wide open. Think of the English word "car". Let me know if I can help further!! 😁🎶
Handel used the same melody ( to a sarabande dance rhythm) in his earlier composition "The triumph of time and truth" but to a different set of words "Lascia la spina prendi la rosa" - which means "take the rose but leave the thorn.' The same composition includes another one of Handel's most sublime tunes - right at the end "Tu dal ciel ministro eletto".
He was the King of Recycling! Most church musicians had to recycle in order to meet the weekly mass deadline. I love Handel's duets which use his Messiah tunes. 😅🎶
Merci beaucoup pour ce cours. Je suis en train de l'apprendre avec ma professeur de chant. Vous m'avez beaucoup aidé. Je crois qu'elle sera très étonnée lors de notre prochain cours. Merci, merci beaucoup.
This is among my favorites arias. How fascinating the way you break it down, not only for ease in learning, but as to the structure and mechanics of the language and vocalizations. Now when I hear this performed, as well as other pieces, I will more appreciate the study and due diligence, as well as interpretation, a soloist puts into the art. Thank you. (I am not a singer, but a musician of sorts, and appreciate most forms of music.)
@@MidwestMike100 Hi, and a very warm welcome. I'm really glad you liked the video. I try to make my tutorials accessible for as many people as possible. You say you're not a singer....but maybe you'll feel inspired to have a go? I hope so! 😁🎶
Lovely video! Thank you for putting these beautiful arias in a lower key. I have to sing soprano all the time (choir) but am really a mezzo and I thought this was out of reach. 🌹
Well, yes....BUT avoiding the hard "G" on a beat which could accidentally be emphasized when sung is critical (for me, where beauty is paramount). I've listened to so many singers, and find the soft G (as in "sing") so much more appealing, and musically superior. This is also how I have been coached in opera houses, and it's actually hard to find recordings of professional singers using a hard G in this context. Phonetically, I'm using sɪŋ as in "sing" quite deliberately. I'm always happy to be proved wrong as I'm certainly not infallible...but on this particular "G" , we might have to agree to differ! 😁🎶❤️
@@singingtips1 I have yet to hear any Italian pronounce it /ˈpjaŋa/, which contains no /g/ consonant at all but a velar nasal. The ŋ sound (as in singer) is still needed for a correct pronunciation since /n/ assimilates to the following /g/, but this last must also be enunciated clearly (as Cecilia Bartoli does beautifully). For my money, omitting the plosive consonant to avoid stressing a syllable is to throw the baby out with the bathwater since what comes out is not correct Italian.
@@baritonfelix Hi. You're absolutely correct...but I'm sticking to my guns. 😁 This is a channel for ALL levels of singer, and in this instance, I think my approach is a lot less intimidating and achieves a beautiful compromise. 😁🎶
J'adore vos tutoriels qui me donnent envie de travailler mais je ne comprends pas bien l'anglais et si les sous-titres pouvaient être en français ce serait merveilleux. Merci. Anne-Marie
Bonjour Anne-Marie. La bonne nouvelle est que vous pouvez facilement changer la langue des sous-titres. Lorsque vous les allumez, ils sont automatiquement en anglais. Accédez à l'icône des paramètres ⚙️ et vous pourrez y changer la langue. J'espère que cela vous aidera à tirer le meilleur parti de mes vidéos. Merci de chanter avec moi! 😁🎶
@@singingtips1 wonderful!💐 j'ai trouvé je vais pouvoir profiter pleinement de vos leçons et surtout des tutoriels "how to sing lascia ch'io pianga et o mio babbino caro" que je dois chanter pour la fête de la Musique . Thank you so for all your lessons. Have a good night
