In Flanders Fields - Megan Achterhof

In Flanders Fields - Words by Dr. John McCrae. Music by John Jacobson and Roger Emerson.
This is the first video we've done where you can see me singing all the parts. I just realized I have this really annoying nervous tic of shaking my head near the end of held notes. I should stop that. :) Otherwise, it came out pretty nicely and I'm proud of it.
Tenor, Alto, Soprano all sung by me. Video, mastering, recording done by Ode2Pops.

This is absolutely beautiful. I had an urge to listen to this piece, which I remember from my high school madrigal choir, and was lucky enough to happen upon your recording. You have a wonderful, powerful voice, with a remarkable range, and some of the purest tones I've ever heard. And your phrasing sounds so natural, which can be difficult in this song.

*Ahem.* Uh. /Choirgeekout.

So glad I found this. Thank you for sharing your art. Can't wait to hear more. :)

@SummerRussellMusic Thank you very much for such a sweet compliment! My dear friend introduced me to this piece as something I should try singing, so I went out, bought the sheet music, and I certainly haven't regretted it. It's been a while since I was in a high school choir, but I remember the good old days. I need to put some more stuff up, but I've just been distracted. :(

If you think of others who would enjoy my work, please share the link!
