That's all improvised, as is the proper Baroque performance practice in a da capo aria.

Dang, you found me already. Merry Christmas, Ma! Don’t worry about the Canteen! I will watch over things while you go wrap my Christmas gifts. Remember, if it needs batteries-—take it back! We’re in the digital age these days!

Hi Everybody!
(((((HUGS))))
Just spent Christmas Eve with my guitar player’s large Italian family, and I almost needed a forklift to get into my car.
Tomorrow I will spend the day in prayer for America.
I probably should FAST too. :-)
A Blessed Christmas Eve to All!

It’s been a while, hasn’t it?
We’re doing well and the critters are driving us up the walls, as usual. LOL!
How have you been? Everything hunk dory these days?

I gathered that, as it is different than my other recordings.
I was particularly struck by the almost “dry” crispy clarity of her voice. It could have been the vocal placement, or the baroque lack of vibrato of which you spoke, but it was never sharp or shrill....just...different! I like it!
It could be that even with Classical music, modern amplification techniques tend to obscure some of that quality with excessive filtering and compression.
I love old-school acoustics, even though I am a sound engineer. I often stand away from the mic and balance my harmonies acoustically with other singers who ARE miked. It’s weird, but it works. Otherwise my harmonies are too loud.

If you do, I will have to WALK home afterward to burn off the calories.

It will be a 3300 mile walk. That should do the trick.

Doing well. Ma currently left me in charge of the Canteen. I noticed she hasn’t wrapped too many presents. She must have fallen asleep at the computer again. LOL!
How many critters do you have these days?

It’s the lack of vibrato. It changes everything. I’m glad that Hogwood, in his 73 years, revolutionized our understanding of the Baroque.

10K burns about 300 calories. Not much, but multiply that by350 and we’re talking some serious calorie burning.

Imagine going to the routine annual fundraising for the Foundling Home, and having it turn out to be THAT!
Now THAT’S a “Donor Dinner’ i would have actually enjoyed!
