Nella Fantasia - The Women's Chorus of Dallas - TWCD

The Women's Chorus of Dallas performs "Nella Fantasia" at its "City Lights" concert, March 15, 2008, Dallas, TX.

The Italian lyrics translate to:
In my fantasy I see a just world,
Where everyone lives in peace and honesty.
I dream of souls that are always free
Like the clouds that float
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

In my fantasy I see a bright world
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that float
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That blows into the city, like a friend.
I dream of souls that are always free,
Like the clouds that float
Full of humanity in the depths of the soul.

I agree. There's no way to record such a crystal-clear voice, compress it for YouTube, and have it played back such that it sounds close to what the live performance sounds like.

Also, there was a blue spotlight on the soloist. When you watch it "live" your brain compensates and you see skin tones, lipstick, eyes, etc. as if it were a person in a blue spotlight. The camera just sees a blue blob with strange colors and records the best it can.

I'm going to date myself by putting on my Johnny Carson voice and saying "I did not know that!" I'll try that with the aspect; we just did another concert, so when I post for that,I'll re-post this.

I don't agree I think this is lovely and she has a lovely, nice and strong Sarah has a lot of quiver in her voice and I like this as its very pure. Well done

I have mixed feelings about the videos being posted. I am trying to sell the DVDs and people won't need to buy one if they can just watch it on YouTube. Also, I have no permission from the chorus nor individual members to post the video on the internet.

On the other hand, thanks for the free plug. I don't think anyone will mind the chorus video being here; I didn't even know about it until one of the members mentioned it in a positive way.

On the other hand, I must say that sudanim did a good job of compressing and uploading the videos to YouTube. They're much better than a lot of things you see on this site. The video was shot in 16 x 9 format, so it would have been better if suda had changed the aspect before uploading. The pics should be about 30% wider.

Hmm, "sudanim" -- sounds like an Indian name, "Sudha," and an Asian surname. But could it just be an Americanization of "Pseudonym?" VERY MYSTERIOUS!
