Maddy G. sings Love's Philosophy

Maddy singing Maddy singing at her Senior Voice Recital with the Bridges Academy of Fine Arts. Instructor: Beverly Laubach. Accompanied by Catherine S. Filmed in May 2008 at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, Houston, TX. Love's Philosophy is a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, written in 1820. Composer: Roger Quilter
The fountains mingle with the river
And the rivers with the Ocean,
The winds of Heaven mix for ever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
in one spirit meet and mingle.
Why not I with thine?--
See the mountains kiss high Heaven
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister-flower would be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth
And the moonbeams kiss the sea:
What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In one another's being mingle-
Why not I with thine?
See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea; -
What are all these kissings worth, or What is all this sweet work worth
If thou kiss not me?

Very nice job!

A+ ... go for it gal.

[@chettle265]

the pianist goes up to F on the first beat of the first full bar rather than D. no bad thing, I've got to play this swione of a piece toniht and I keep doing the exact same thing. lovely performance from both.

[@DonJuanDeMarco2]

My god, i find this so attractive :)
That was beautifully sung by the way :)

[@ThatgirlAudie]

@LeeAnnLovesYou2013 Wow. Good luck. I have to sing this at NATS in two weeks...ugh...

[@dbrel]

this one was much improved over your other video of this song ! You listened to everyone -- better tempo (it is supposed to go at least this speed! ). One thing to watch -- the "windshield wiper" effect. That means -- no need to look from side to side. I am sure by now you have corrected this habit. You have a lovely voice -- I hope you are at a good music school continuing to study.

@LeeAnnLovesYou2013 bahaha in actuality, altos are smart sopranos :)

[@ivantwill]

are you miced? i don't know about that...

[@lokman168]

nice voice.
though more technique is needed.

[@lilyingle610]

What key is this in?

[@theuniverseabove3521]

I want to know the key to. I can’t find key of D anywhere

[@carolinebradley7261]

not sure if it matters now lol but it’s in the key of F

[@jay733]

That's what a woman's body should be like

[@Manonissinging]

I genuinly ask what does that have to do with her performance? :)

[@annafontenot997]

Sry Rebecca Oneil owned it! Good voice tho.

[@cherry5strawberry]

I don't agree at all, I think that Maddy G. does a much better job; her voice is clear and without an overly exaggerated vibrato, and also her acting is infinitely better! :)

[@annafontenot997]

Well u dont have to agree.

[@TaylinT247]

Ahem. Second comment under this one, actually altos are lazy sopranos. :)
