Thanks! This is a lovely song... and this is such a wonderful interpretation!

I think she would love your elegant performance.

(Also, I think she would love YouTube; life is very different now for people who are as ill as she was... even confined to bed, she would still have access to a global community in today's world.)

[wiebkecontralto]

Yes, you are right!

I think it's great to hear a contralto doing this cycle. Naturally it was transposed here (original is for soprano or tenor) but it sounds lovely in Hoogklimmer's voice. Thanks for the upload!

[wiebkecontralto]

You are right: Lili Boulanger have composed the cycle for soprano or tenor. I was not sure, if it will work for a Contralto. But I loved the music so much, that I have transposed it and I risked it. I hope, that Lili Boulanger would like it......

She sounds like a man, but her lows doesn't seem to be soooo low, lovely music, thanks for uploading this, if you have some more or ever find more, please, don't think it to much and put it in youtube...

you're probably just not used to hearing women sing in their chest register

[HuggumsMcgehee]

Doesn't sound like a man at all. Just a woman singing low in her register.
