Komm, Lieber Mai (Mozart) - Elodie Smith Soprano
A short, but oh so sweet song by Mozart, about young children longing for spring to finally arrive. I really enjoyed learning this piece, the simplicity of the strophic nature carries so much character to play with!
Verses 1, 2 and 5
Come, dear May, and make
the trees green again,
and by the brook, let
the little violets bloom for me!
How I would love
to see a violet again -
ah, dear May, how gladly
I would take a walk!
It is true that winter days have
much joy as well:
one can trot in the snow
and play many games in the evening;
build little houses of cards,
play blind-man's-buff and forfeits;
also go tobogganing
in the lovely open countryside.
Ah, if only it would grow milder
and greener...

Even after obtaining my degree, I was still watching this back like I didn't already know the outcome! I hope you enjoy my music making!

It was an honour to sing as part of Wakefield Cathedral's lunchtime concert series! I had a wonderful time sharing such beautiful music with a lovely audience. I heard this enchanting song cycle a year ago and immediately knew I wanted to sing this piece for my final recital at Leeds Conservatoire. It has been a brilliant challenge to learn, from working the extremes of my range to mastering th...
Clair de Lune (Debussy) - Elodie Smith Soprano

Another Debussy piece! I sense a theme emerging... I had a lovely time working with Martin Pickard in this Opera North masterclass, this piece is relatively new to me so it was really useful to delve into the words and the harmonies and pull out some ideas for me to work on. This is another Paul Verlaine poem, again inspired by Jean-Antoine Watteau's "fêtes galantes" paintings. Debussy composed...
