Handel "Let the bright seraphim" from Samson

Emily McHugh, soprano; D. Kyle Upton, trumpet; Alex Zalman Kelber, piano; in recital May 20, 2009, Lutkin Hall, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL; Douglas Asbury, videographer and producer.

ISRAELITE WOMAN
Let the bright Seraphim in burning row
their loud uplifted angel-trumpets blow.
Let the cherubic host, in tuneful choir,
touch their immortal harps with golden wire.

Nicely done - trumpet is really polished. Well played.

One of the better amateur renditions of this that I've seen on YT so far. Beautiful sound, Emily, but be careful of throwing away your phrases at the end instead of continuing your support. A few times you're under the pitch, and I imagine that's the reason why, because your upper register is obviously strong and beautiful.

Absolutely a great performance, who is this young trumpet player. NorthWestern University has one of the best programs in the nation for the study of music. The trumpet player and the soprano both worked well together. Her vocal technique and voice are superb. He mirrored her nearly perfectly. My only criticism is when it felt like they paused a little too much during the piece trading passing the motiffs back and forth. Still it was a great performance.
