She has a lovely voice, but she needs to learn the words. I know this piece forwards and back and I double-checked my score. The correct words are:

In trutina mentis dubia fluctuant contraria lascivus amor et pudicitia.

Sed eligo quod video collum iugo prebeo;

ad iugem tamem suave, suave transeo.

[hwivid]

This was recorded nearly 7 years ago in her International debut year, when she was just 16 years old. I think she knows all the words now.

[TheHanoskis]

Not to be rude, but knowing the words now is not the point. I was involved in vocal music for many years and would never have dreamed of performing a piece I didn't know hands down, much less at something as important as Bryn Terfel's festival. A performer has a responsibility to their audience to know their stuff -- that's why we practice so much.

[hwivid]

I won't get into a lengthy debate about it, suffice it to say that every performer is human, and few performers of her age have been in the situation Hayley was in, back in 2003.

Wow!! Thanks for posting this! Was this before Pure was released?

[hwivid]

It was before the UK and US releases of Pure but after the NZ and Oz releases.

Optime sicut Angeli coram Deo cantat Hayley. Gratias Deo agimus pro ejus voce coeleste et spendida. Vivant sequentes!

[MSM4U2POM]

Pretty as a picture. Music ain't bad either!

@TheHanoskis

Last line should be:

ad IUGUM tamen suave suave transeo.

'Praebeo' is better than'prebeo'.

@TheHanoskis I think she only has very strange pronunciation, she is young and never had latin perhaps :-)

[hippo50ful]

@Bestman3007 hahahahhaha exectly, very nice voice but..... legato please, breath control and latin pronounce,, sorry my english

[Flozzibevs]

I am 15 and singing this with an Orchestra tomorrow evening in London in St Pauls. I'm terrified! But I know the words :) I hope... :p She sings this very well - I have less vibrato but it works either way!

[monicaxix]

she has beautiful tone! but some of the diction and cutting at ends of phrases the best in this performace 

[Bestman3007]

Nice voice, but she sings it in the u-hu-speak

In truhutina mehentis duhubia...............

Not knwowing the Words and not whwt they mean. Karl Orff in Chewing Gum Version....
