Hi gals, after my long rambling from yesterday I came to the conclusion that I can offer something different that other may find impossible or hard to do...
Music Caps!
In real life I'm an "accomplished" Opera Singer...Yeah even being such a baby I can nail opera songs "giggle"
In the tenor range ^-^ (Weeeeeeell still in practice till I reach 30 years old!)
Now if you are looking for my other persona, she would fall into the mezzosoprano voice
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coloratura_mezzo-soprano
Most of the time the voice of Alectra tends to be seductive and low, but, she can rise as nice to the sensual and beautifully crafted high pitched voice
Now this has an actual explanation...
Due to the kind of personality she has she would nicely fall into that category.
For a few examples looking into the psychological ground of the voice (This doesn't have to fall into you, this is just an example as psychiatrists measures the "coloratura" of the voice accompanied with a mental background)
High pitched voices says that you are childish. naive, with a huge ego (know tenors "giggle" it would be impossible for them to reach the higher notes if not for their bravado will hitting that scale...Indecisive peeps won't reach the key note no matter how high pitched is their voice); Dark voices says that you are serious, rational, decisive, thoughtful. And a mix between the two says that you are mysterious, playful, hard to grasp. ^-^
So I'm introducing you to a new world that I hope you'll fancy just like me ^-^
You can either enjoy the cap as it's or maybe read what I'm about to write for a better understanding and therefore a better enjoyment of it ^-^
Apologize for not including direct links to the songs, because blogger don't allow to direct to music related stuff >-> So Just Including the name of it for a quick search *.*
1. Dee : In The Hall of the Mountain Queen
Now this one comes from the inmortal sonata of Edvard Grieg Peer Gynt Suite Nº1 and this one as the name suggest is In The Hall of The Mountain King.
Maybe you don't know the name nor the composition, but, I'm sure you had heard of it ^-^
What makes this one so special and magical is the incredible work that put Edvard Grieg while making it, you can grow a love for the wind department in here (either metal or wood). Oboes along with trombones make a fantastic duet and So the Violins makes a terrific ending to it. While the first announce your entry as if you were slowly walking into the hall growing an increasing need to careful watch around the intricate and beautifully crafted sounds inside the hall. The second announces a terrific ending and ocasionally the strings that make you take little steps before running into a perfect rush to the end make it a delight to your ears;
What you will notice in here is that as being a classic composition there's no lyrics, thats where I enter ^-^
I know music and I can totally fit words, breaking sentences and make it almost perfectly to sing along with the composition...
I tried this many times but until recently got the idea to use that knowlegde to fit into a cap ^-^
2. Alleria: Sexy song by Alleria
What so special about this one?, well the title alone don't suggest anything because the first part is just a mix of sentences from other songs not needed to tell you about those one...
What's important in here is the second part, I came with a mischievous idea, so while my friend Alleria is another singer this came rightfully appreciated...
She is practising and his boyfriend wants to peek a little, so she discover that he is actually peeping tom her and so she start to sing this song.
The song itself is a classic, Scarborough Fair
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarborough_Fair_(ballad)
Made famous in the entire world by Simon and Garfunkel in a classic pop song style but, the classical one offers a lot more ^-^
As twisted as the other one, this one needs a little of preparation because there's already a lyric done for it. Changed to fit the times as you know it because there is an old version of it when the people of England would go with a brilliant and shiny armour "giggle"
The purpose of the song as is what originally intended was about a woman who offered his lover an impossible task to complete but in the end love is stronger than ever and his lover get to accomplish the impossible task. Note that if you hear the song, those tasks comes into the myths terrain, so it would be actually impossible to do it for real "giggle"
So with that in mind, the next part turns out to be tricky. Note that I'm not British but I do have some knowlegde of old poetry so that part was somewhat covered in the song. Again to make it flow right this time you need to find words that are somewhat stylish and good to hear and sing, so this one took me like three hours or so to create the lyrics and make sense of top of that heh heh heh.
I may revisit this kind of post as soon as I get another song to twist around, whether classical, pop or a composition... It doesn't matter I know how to stretch the sounds to blend right and make it actually doable ^-^
P.S: They do not come into the new style because they are "old" work ^-^
*smiles* - i have a music caption of my own coming up, it is a delightful area to play in. Music is so evocative, although I am more of a listener than a performer.
ReplyDeleteThanks Betty for the thoughts ^-^
ReplyDeleteBut I forgot to say that I have 3 years of vocal technique as a singer and musical knowledge since I was five years old... Still I can only play the xilophone and the flute :P
I want/need to play the piano in the far future too ^-^
Hugs and Kisses Alectra
I'd quite like to make you another music caption... mmmh cos these are hot. Mmmmh I'll see what I can do.
