goldvermilion87Hello livejournal friends!
I am auditioning for some Messiah solos tomorrow, and as I realized over the past week or so at least half of you are musical-types, I am shamlessly requesting feedback from anyone who is willing to suffer through me singing four solos acapella.
Any kind of feedback (good and bad! Believe me when I say that you cannot be harder on me than I am when I hear these recordings) would be very much appreciated. I am particularly concerned about all the ornamentation. I have no idea if anyone on my f-list has Baroque ornamentation know-how, but I'm looking for "it sounds weird" / "it doesn't sound weird" feedback, really. (Also, is it possible to hear WHAT I'm singing? I'm so concerned right now with loosening up that I sort of forget about diction...a lot!)
"If God be for us, who can be against us." (should note that there is a lag at the beginning of all of these, as I had to start the recording and then run off into another room so the recording quality wouldn't be quite as bad.)

"How Beautiful are the Feet"

"I Know that my Redeemer Liveth"

"Rejoice Greatly"

And finally, I couldn't post these recordings without giving you something very beautiful to listen to. Sylvia McNair is one of my favorite singers, and she does these BEAUTIFULLY! I want to be her when I grow up...minus the shiny gold dress...)
