The sky above the roof Is calm and sweet A tree above the roof Bends in the heat A bell from out the blue Drowsily rings A bird from out the blue Plaintively sings Ah God! A life is here Simple and fair Murmurs of strife are here Lost in the air Why dost thou weep Oh, heart Poured out in tears? What hast thou done Oh, heart With thy spent years?
I have to do this piece for concert choir in my school. I'm very nervous since it's my first solo but I'm also excited, it's such a beautiful piece and I can't wait to learn it!
Oh fun, it's such a good piece! I hope you enjoyed singing it as much as I did (just recently figured out how replying to comments works lol). All the best :)
Sounds good but please forgove me for saying that you look a little apprehensive throughout- maybe focus your eyes on a single point on the horizon - they seem to dart around a little here and so you don't appear to stay in the moment
Thank you so much for the feedback! I have been working on mindfulness in my movements on stage, because "panic mode" definitely sets in when I don't plan ahead :)
@@annagraceroth5353 I am glad you found the feedback helpful. I thoroughly recommend RUclips videos of Barbara Cook masterclasses, in which she challenges technically proficient singers to communicate with the audience, often asking them to forget all they've ever learned. Having seen Ms Cook in performance and conducting master classes, I can vouch for her amazing talent. If you ever get the chance to see Amanda McBroom perform live (she comes to London annually), please treat yourself - I think she is peerless in the art of communication through song. All the best.

The sky above the roof
Is calm and sweet
A tree above the roof
Bends in the heat
A bell from out the blue
Drowsily rings
A bird from out the blue
Plaintively sings
Ah God! A life is here
Simple and fair
Murmurs of strife are here
Lost in the air
Why dost thou weep
Oh, heart
Poured out in tears?
What hast thou done
Oh, heart
With thy spent years?
My private voice instructor gave me this song as my first for my voice lessons. And this is really helpful to practice with, thank you!
