Widmung

My Senior Recital with Juilliard Pre-College

You my soul, you my heart,
You my bliss, o you my pain,
You the world in which I live;
You my heaven, in which I float,
O you my grave, into which
I eternally cast my grief.

You are the rest, you are the peace,
You are the heaven upon me bestowed.
That you love me makes me worthy of you;
your gaze transfigures me;
you raise me lovingly above myself,
my good spirit, my better self.

Such a talented young tenor at work once again. Very well done and good luck with your future endeavors.

@Flicksta101 Thank you, Dr. Flick, for watching this video! I'm so honored that you'd watch it. I'll see you next year; I can't wait to music history with you.

@dulcicantor *to do music history.

You are incredible! Who is your voice teacher?

[llemmeier]

BRAVO!

@TheMrpatyk So flattering! I have to work on the hand motion thing constantly, because it still feels unnatural, but I'm working on it. And it just so happens that I've been doing a lot of early music recently— Monteverdi's Rosa del ciel (and maybe Possente spirto soon) and some Purcell. I've been singing some new works by composer friends, but nothing more than that. I'll get to Britten stuff eventually.

Thank you so much! I appreciate the support.

I keep looking for more of your more recent recital...only to be disappointed. You keep improving, and the hand movement fits better with the lyric. Personally, I'd like to see you step out of the art song period and try both earlier and later music. Oh, what the hell. What ever you post, I'll be looking....and listening,,,

every time i listen to this it just gets better! awesome work.

very beautiful

Thanks for telling me about this video! *Much* better with the breathing and support...but more importantly your passion was much more evident here. There are quite a few measures of this in which you sound almost identical to Juan Diego Florez (though God knows he'd never sing anything like this - I'm pretty sure he has a phobia of German aria).

Beautiful work, I know you must be pleased.

Robert May!!! It's been since Tanglewood that I've heard you and you sound absolutely fantastic! Your voice has grown so much. I wish I could attend your recital....toi toi toi!!! ~Suzanne
