Here is my first ever upload to YouTube, it is a song by Edward Elgar, Like to the Damask Rose. This recording was done in my final undergraduate year at University back in 2008, it is me playing with the styles seen within the early recordings of Edward Elgar. It experiments with portamento, diction, using different parts of the voice etc. It was recorded in one take just as an example of using the attributes in early recordings could be applied today.

Baroque Day

Long time No Speak!

Wow it has been a long time since I wrote on here! It has been a very busy eventful month! Me and Dave went to centreparcs, we had a fantastic time! I then went over to Ireland for Jonny’s 21st! Again fun and frolics all round!

Now down to singing! I am currently working on William Walton’s - A song for the Lord Mayor’s Table, a truly fantastic piece! I also started learning Vaughn WIlliam’s - House of Life. House of Life is going to be performed in a couple months time; I am very excited about this as my friend Alex Thomas has orchestrated it, so it will be it’s first performance!

Easter in Snowy Skipton!

I spent the weekend in Skipton, and it snowed! I can’t believe Easter day was all snowy. It was really beautiful, we took the road Skipton to Grassington. I was a bit jealous though, because we couldn’t go sledging as I didn’t have the right clothes :(

After our trip, Lynda cooked a lovely roast dinner.
