My attempt at "Meditation" from Thais

Well, this is me trying to perform Meditation without piano accompaniment in my dorm at TCNJ. Unfortunately, even though I got a new camera, the sound capture still is a little imprecise, and it won't capture any resonance that was in the room at the time. Now, I know that there are a few places that the rhythm could be worked on (and don't even get me started with the dynamics...). I just ask that you leave constructive comment only, please. Thank you!

Yeah, my rhythm is pretty bad in this one, I know. Thanks!

Dang that sounds awesome. who does the original?

[wakizashi333]

Well, the song itself is from a play called Thais, which details the decision of a prostitute to leave her old life and turn to Christ. To be honest, I don't know who plays the original recording of this. Sorry!

I like your intonation, it's pretty hard for me to get the intonation precisely. You should work on the rhythm or timing of the notes, however. Try playing with the actual song and it should help.

well done, how long are you playing?
