The Blind Man
You asked; I delivered. Here are the recording links for The Blind Man INCLUDING video of me conducting. I hope it is okay. The prep for this piece took a LOT longer than anything last semester, so I had to record the video in school. I apologize for not being able to get it to you sooner.
Take your time. Don't get frustrated. Enjoy every single note.
Best,
John
DIRECTIONS:
-
Practice each file several times before recording to make sure you FEEL the emotion of each phrase and breath.
-
Emotion/energy/passion cannot be fixed/added in Alfred's studio. Sing from your heart.
-
If the conducting does not sync exactly with the music, go with what you HEAR rather than what you see. (But it is REALLY close).
-
The piano track gives the subdivision of the beat. It should make it easy to follow the tempo rubato (slower or faster notes).
-
I just need ONE recording for Vs. 1-2, and one recording for Vs. 3.
-
We will use the Verse 1 recording for Verse 2.
-
-
Each section is fairly short. It will sound better if you can memorize it.
