The SingING Item
| 
Sep 4 23:54 UTC 1996 |
This is the Singing Item! It's about high time there be one on
Grex, that's for sure.... So, tell us what you like so sing, and of
course, *who* you like to hear sing!
Some of my favorite stuff: I luv arias (of course,) and right now
one of my favorite art songs is "Kling!" by Strauss. But I also like to
sing the easy stuff, like rock and jazz. To listen to: Lexi Cregger
(juliette) and Cecilia Bartolli.
(There is no limit to what ppl like, so this should be a prolific
item-- have fun!)

My favorite ballad singer is Tom Waits. I'd love to be able to put that kind
of feel into a song.

I'm a mezzo-soprano, which is the range that Natalie Merchant sings at (to
compare it for non-music buffs). I like to sing "These Are Days", but that's
the only song I like by the Manias. That fits my voice well...I also like
to sing anything that I *can* sing, so don't ride in a car with me...I'm
warning you. =)
I like to listen to Enya, Sarah McLachlan (another I can sing), and Geddy Lee
of Rush...his voice is so unique! My favorite singer on the planet, though,
is my friend Maggie. She is *GIFTED* with a beautiful voice. She cnan sing
any note without screeching or sounding like she has a cold. Right now she's
at Eastern on a Music *and* Voice Scholarship. It's like hearing an angel...

I sing every Saturday at an "alternative" church service, and every Wed
in a Methodist church choir. I sang at a wedding last week, and the
selections were from John Lennon, Leonard Bernstein, and the Lord's Prayer.
Yesterday I sang at a Leukemia Society benefit, and the selections were
from Nanci Griffith, Wynnona, Melanie, Judy Collins, the Cox Family,
Allison Krauss, Carole King, and Indigo Girls. In two weeks I have another
wedding, the selection is Schubert's "Ave Maria." Then, Nov 15, I am
the featured artist at the Green Wood Coffee House Concert Series, and I
have not yet completed my set list. Donation only $5.00! Come for music,
coffee, and dessert!

I'm marking my calendar for November 15th and plan to be there
unless the Green Wood Coffee House is in Arkansas.
Someday I'm going to be able to say, "I knew her when...". ;-)

It's on Green Rd near Glazer Way.
I just got a "gig" today singing at First United Methodist Church in
Brighton, in NOvember. They said I could either be paid $150 to $200,
or have the offering collected. This is for 50 minutes of music. I am
amazed. I don't get paid to sing at my church(es), and I really don't
intend to accept this money.

#7 : *chuckle*
Getting paid to sing in church should be a must, but lots of churches
believe that the community should provide, or there should be none at all....
)= A lot of churches need good music, but none wants to provide it, and no
one wants to pay for it......
I cannot WAIT until school starts; Opera Workshop this year is gonna
rule. Birdy, I hope someone thinks that highly of MY voice someday....
jeez.(;

I also do lovethe songs of SP.Balasubramanyam...He has sung in 4 to 5 Indian
languages(namely,TELUGU,TAMIL,KANNADA,HINDI).He is a prominent singer with
high quality voice. He meddles with the words in high and low tunewshhhhhhhh4
tunes spontaneously.Ofcourse India is is a rich country with rare traditions.
Not to forget Dr. Balamuralikrishna's voice and the songs sung by him. I do
love Mr. Illayaraja's(from India) music. He is a international figure.

Jazz is great stuff, even though I\'ve never sung any of it myself...ah well,
there's always time to do so....
(BTW: to all interested, in January will be the performance of the IAA
Opera Workshhop, and we'll be doing scenes from Le Nozze di Figaro, Hansel
and Gretel, and Magic Flute. I'm playing Gretel and Pamina. (; )

Sounds great, arianna!
I love to sing, but as a service to my fellowman, refrain form doing so in
public. <otter slips away to avoid capture by the pun police>

Arianna -- be sure to let me know when your performance is. I live only an
hour from Interlochen, and visit TC frequently anyway.

I will sing anything that I know the words to and always sing along with the
radio. In fact, when we were growing up, my sisters and I would sing in the
car and between the four of us, our parents said that they couldn't hear the
radio anymore :)
I will listen to just about anyone sing (few exceptions) I think because I
like singing with people more than I like singing alone.
