The Lord´s Prayer From African Sanctus

[redscumhater]

I believe I was lucky enough to sing in the first full performance of the African Sanctus in Worcester UK about 34 ish years ago. A staggering piece of music that has stayed with me ever since.

You must have a fantastic voice Monkeyballmania! Those are some notes she gets up to!

[Monkeyballmania]

@Sunflowers159 Thanks, just seen this after a long time LOL. I remember it was very hard singing those high notes and I can still *just about* get them now, I'm not sure if they sounded great back then either XD

Opera sopranos ain't the same as a regular singer man.

[MormonMusicMarines]

Opera singers are the only REAL singers.

[RussMoxham]

@MormonMusicMarines If Fanshawe thought that was true, he probably wouldn't have composed 'African Sanctus' in the first place and he wouldn't have spent whole big chunks of his adult life travelling all over the place with his recording equipment working as an ethnomusicologist.

@MormonMusicMarines You are excused from that foolishness. Please opera is okay but there's MORE

[lucyedgehill]
