Dalla sua pace

Either way, I was removed from the friend list on facebook.

Managed to run through the first two pages of dalla sua pace. I skipped the runs/coloratura - whichever is the most appropriate technical term. Pleasantly surprised to realise the score only runs for four pages, which means I’m done with half. There’s a small repeat section which takes up almost the entire third page, which means I’m left with the last page. If you were to include the recitative, which comes before the aria, I’ve two more pages.

But I don’t think I would bother with the recitative at this point in time.

In case you think I am so zai to do dalla sua pace, I am not. I did quite a bit of it in staccatos. I think it helps to prevent tension? Like a diaphragm impulse/release of air per note will probably create a better quality, in my opinion. There are a few bars I did without consonants before adding them in.

:)

The other reason why I am doing the one diaphragm impulse/release of air per note thing is because I found a new sensation with my breath, support - whichever floats your boat - and it seems to be more ideal. In my opinion, at least for now, it goes deeper than I would have done.

It’s probably a blind spot thing. And arts, regardless of any form, is probably about unveiling blind spots and discovery. No? There’s so much in theory one could understand but to put it into practice, form, life is an entirely different story altogether.

Of course I know and there’s a lot I have already known, but that’s only all I have.

Be a thinking singer, always.

Pieta.
