Samuel Barber from "Hermit Songs" The Monk and His Cat, Marcella Calabi

This video helped me so much when I was trying to learn this song for my school recital, so thank you for that :) Marcella Calabi sung this just beautifully.

I recently uploaded my performance to my channel to help any other people who needed to listen to this difficult song rather than go insane trying to count the whole thing. I'd really appreciate some feedback if you ever get a chance to watch it. Thanks xx

This a really a wonderful song! It is a pity that this song should be sung so rarely... it deserves to be performed more often. But then again, it is not the easiest song to sing. Here, admirably performed by both Marcella Calabi and Douglas Martin! Thanks very much!

You have a very lovely voice. Beautifully shaped vowels and fine tone. Brava

I love this rendition -- I love how the soprano explains the piece. I like how the pianist did not back away from the "cat walking across the keys" (the ascending minor seconds) by making it sound subtle "beautiful."
