This is one of my favorite duets. It's written by Morten Lauridsen called Dirait-on. I did my best combining the two voice parts along with trying to play the piano haha. The saxline doesn't actually belong in this song but I threw it in to add something different...

I really hope you like this piece!

French Poem:
Abandon entoure d'abandon,
tendresse touchant aux tendresses...
C'est ton interieur qui sans cesse
se caresse, dirait-on

se caresse en soi-meme,
par son propre reflet eclaire.
Ainsi tu inventes le theme
du Narcisse exauce.

English translation:

Abandon surrounding abandon,
tenderness touching tenderness...
Your oneness endlessly
caresses itself, so they say;

self-caressing
through it's own clear reflection
Thus you invent the theme
of Narcissus fulfilled.

  • What a shame that someone came just to give you one star... Because this is fantastic! You're really great. I've been watching your videos for quite a while (I was your 8th subscriber) and I love them all.

    I hope you'll have really good year :)

    I'm always forgeting to comment on your videos :)

  • Wow, amazing. It is so nice to a lovely, deep voice singing this song. Don't get me wrong all of the sopprano versions I have heard are beautiful. However being a contralto my self and looking to prepare this song for the talent portion of a pagent, and seeing nothing but high vocalists is a little disparaging.
