Jennifer Peterson, freshmen at Georgia Perimeter College, performed at the "Formal Evening Recital", in the Cole Auditorium on GPC's Clarkston campus, on February 18, 2013.
Because the music was written with a repeat. While studying this sheet music in college, you have to sing the music as written. If you study this sheet music, there are not Alternate lyrics...Alessandro Scarlatti wrote this with a repeat and I sang it with a repeat. If I didn't, I wouldn't have gotten a bad grade....
I tried to change the tempo in the second verse, making it more dynamic. Same lyrics mean something, if I sing it again, it's important and should change in emotion in how I sing it. Thus I decided to change the tempo the second time around. Freshmen year (17) now I am almost 28 years old. Kind of crazy to respond to and defend a I gave performance a decade ago. XD
@@Averagewannabe94hi i wanna ask, im currently having my degree in classical vocal. What do you work as now? im just curious on my career option later on. And i look up to your performance as my reference for this aria, im gonna be performing this for my final exam, but in High Tenor key instead, in G Major
@PlayMouseTV hi! Thanks for asking! I now work as a full time 1 on 1 voice and piano teacher, and I perform on the side a lot too. I'm twenty nine years old almost eight years out of college, and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. It's the perfect balance. I love teaching the younger generations how to do what I love to do. I also get to be my own boss and make my own schedule, and make my own money. Trust me on this. There is always money to be made in the arts, you just gotta figure out how you like doing it. Cheers friend and can't wait to hear how it goes for you! I'd love to hear you btw. Post a link here if you have videos of your performances. :)
I was a freshmen in college 11 years ago singing opera for the first time ever. It's hard for me to judge this performance too, for the hand on the piano, my teacher said that was what I was supposed to do? XD funny I agree with you now. Looks like I was trying to hold on for dear life. Haha. And actually, being 6 ft tall wearing heels for the first time singing up there at my first college recital ever? Yeah I was probably really unbalanced
@@Averagewannabe94 It could have been nerves, and a way to ground yourself. My son is performing this piece on Monday, as a freshman in HS. When hearing live performances, I like to close my eyes and take it in.
