Your singing is very beautiful and expressive. Thanks. (I like Quilter's lyrical melody with "Fear No More..." much better than Finzi's somewhat angry approach.)

@HowdWyde Hi !! Thanks for that......really helpful. I'd love to do the whole set of songs one day.

[HowdWyde]

@Angjerci Low voice, from what I can tell. I picked up a library copy of the sheet music for personal learning recently, and the keys seem to match up with this performance.

[Angjerci]

Can someone tell me whether this is low voice copy, medium of high voice?

[Angjerci]

Just love all these songs........beautiful singing ! :D

[EndrigoFR]

That voice and endearing image.
