Come Raggio di Sol

[BishopJDMackey]

I am doing this for my entrance audition for Texas State School of Music... I love this song!!!

[17Revolutionary]

Singing this in a an octave up next year.

And yea you are a lyrical baritone/borderline tenor

[WiitubeJohnohue]

I sang this just today at a recital. but i screwed up the beginning. :,(

[buckleee]

You are not a bass.

At all.

you're a lyric baritone.

I have a similar voice but darker and lower.

[sebacarde]

agree he is a lyric baritone

[gayandproud35114]

The version he is using isn't written for bass, though I also agree...he is not a bass. I am a dramtic baritone but my studio professor has assigned me this piece as well as another that has some rather low notes. The voicing of the song is not based on the lowest note but rather the key and bulk of the notes.

[titanfan5]

Great! I'm working on this song myself but 2 whole steps higher, since I'm a baritone. But I think your a baritone too. You sound like one, great voice but don't be afraid to project, you're a great singer!

[eightbitgnosis]

Heh, I once competed in a solo competition with this song. It's cool to see another bass take up the song

[auzaiph]

he's not a bass ^^'

[Curlyjoe71]

I think I might have to agree. Dude, you might have to change your YouTube name 'cause I hear some nice high overtones in there. Definitely a lyric baritone, maybe even low tenor. The voice part we "attach" ourselves to are mostly based on color, not just range. Anyway, great performance of this song. Thanks for sharing.

[VivaPipo]

Sure, this is a lyric tenor (possibly spinto) IMO. Unfortunately some teachers set the bar too low do get the range that is otherwise needs years of work.

As a result you can't here the voice in front of a piano. This is an easy road but it leads nowhere. He should sing this song in G (eventually, after couple of years of work).

[auzaiph]

I sing it in G and it's my normal voice but i'm not a bass... So I wonder who told you you were a bass. That's so strange...

[0ri0n77]

Actually it happened the same to me. After 10 years thinking I was a bass-baritone went to a masterclass where I was surprised with the fact I'm really a Dramatic Tenor. Of course I didn't believe it but when the voice instructor put me singing "Recondita Armonia" (Puccini's Tosca) I had to accept it... After 10 years singing Don Giovanni and Figaro (Mozart's)... Oh well.

[antiperspirantti]

Hey great vid! And came for the right time too. On next wednesday I have to sign this song for "year exam" thing. Still have little problems singing it with piano but this is great excersise. Thanks.

Wow. I'm so glad I was able to help you out with this song. This so far has been one of my favorite songs to sing and it makes my day when I hear that other people appreciate the art of a Bass-Baritone. Keep up the good work man and if you ever want suggestions or help with anything message me anytime!

[riah164]

I sang this song. You do a lovely job and I really like your voice. I think that you could be more expressive and what are you doing with your hand?

[bassmalevolence]

this was over a year a go now, my expression has improved dramatically since then and my hand thing was a nervous twitch i had back in the day of my wanting to conduct lol

[riah164]

Ok, that's great :) What kind of songs are you studying now?

[543johnson]

[SnareDrummerKeygz]

[bassmalevolence]

Yes im in the key of D

[aggies4chance]

[bassmalevolence]

[bassmalevolence]

Revenge, Timothius Cries by Handel, Was ist Sylvia? by Schubert, Bois e pais by LLully and si tra i ceppi by Handel. It's fun repetoire i recommend it.
