Miranda Colchester sings "The Singer" by Michael Head. Ulf Norberg, piano. From Hedvig Eleonora church, Stockholm, Sweden. Recorded and edited by Pär Fridberg.
All this BS about "alignment" and "caved in chest', ""tension in your neck." She gets the job done in a beautiful way. Now, I'm going back and listen to it a few more times.
I met a singer on the hill, He wore a tattered cloak; His cap was torn, His shoes were worn, And dreamily he spoke. Fa la la la la la ... Fa la la la la la. A wrinkled face, a cheery smile, And a nobby stick had he; His eyes were grey and far away And changeful as the sea. And changeful as the sea. I offered him a piece of gold And hoped that he would stay. No word he spoke, but shook his head And smiled and went his way. Fa la la la la la ... La la la la la la. I watched the singer down the hill. My eyes went following after, I thought I heard a fairy flute And the sound of fairy laughter, Fa la la la la la... etc. La la I thought I heard a fairy flute And the sound of fairy laughter, Fa la la la

beautiful voice. it"s amazing how you can sing with a caved in chest and still sound good. and I could see the tension in your neck but you were doing something right cuz it sounded beautiful!
Very lovely! Such a gorgeous song and beautiful voice. As someone said below, your alignment could be better. We all have something to work on. With the echo of the room, it sounded quite different to what I'm used to. I liked it fair enough but not sure it suits art song.
