You are my new favourite content creator! Sooooo interesting, fun, unique, and beautiful. I hope more people will discover your work and enjoy it like I just did. (Loved your other videos too!)
This piece of music is one of my most favorites!!! I loved listening to it and seeing the amazing and wonderful effort and energy you put into it!!! Thanks so much!!!
You deserve waaaay more views and subscription to your channel! I randomly found it and really loved your videos, but THIS VIDEO is on another level!! Chapeau!!
Great Video - I am just getting a bit stressed out thinking about how much work this video was! OMG - that you only took 8 weeks to record the voices and edited this video is ridiculous! (Fellow professional soprano here - who also does a bit of recording myself. I am amazed by your work ethic and your fast media-editing skills)
I don't find myself in cathedrals a lot lately, mostly because I don't attend many events usually associated with them. But I do love their natural audio phenomenon, coupled with genuine straight-tone singing. You are amazing, multi-talented, barely old enough to know and do all the tedious work involved with a project like this, and bountifully young enough to sell it to an audience whose attention spans are turning into cotton candy. During the last waning years of my musical life as a performer, I turned to remixing as a source of amusement (and still a few RUclips views), but when the pandemic killed live music for me, it also began to slowly drain me of the ability to get lost in a remixing project. Then came a hospitalization last year, and now I'm just totally and perpetually burned out. While I don't think my fire will ever return, I appreciate having found this video today because it gives me a slight reason to believe that there are some in the still vibrant generation of yours who are keeping the work aesthetic alive. Thank you for that.
Several of my undergrad friends were music majors - their horror stories about counterpoint and music theory class, etc., weighed heavily on me. I had zero confidence in my ability to become a music major - even though numerous music directors had already chosen me as the " lead singer " and " solo singer " for a variety of productions and performances. Why go into the cookie cutter of " music school" ?" Why cheat myself by taking the same classes that millions of other aspiring singers and musicians are taking? I wanted to be my own unique work of art ... so I never signed up to become a music major ... but I did take a lot of music classes, paying more for private voice lessons than I paid for my rent, paying for private piano lessons, private opera coaches, etc., while singing professionally as a teen under contract in NY ... and by age 21, I had performed coast-to-coast and abroad - I then worked as a recording artist in my 20's, recording my own songs... As decades passed, my performance repertoire expanded to over 50 arias composed by Mozart, Bellini, Puccini, Rossini, Verdi, Vivaldi and dozens of other composers - after years of training in German Lieder, French Art Songs, Spanish folk songs, etc... Decades roared on as I wrote over 1,000 songs - lyrics and melodies - and over a dozen musicals, and now I'm finishing my 14th opera ... I've performed across 7,000 miles on this Earth ... from east to west ... and ... not to brag ... but because I feel ashamed of my failures in music while your amazing skills - that I will never have - are amazing to me, I wanted to mention my self-deprecating horror at the gorgeous recording you made ... because you're a music genius.
Wow, this sounds amazing though! I mean, thank you 😊, but I'd also love to hear some of your stuff! Self-deprecation is a universal downfall of all aritsts, I think. At least we're not as bad as Duparc. If his wife hadn't pulled his compositions out of the ashes, we'd never have known about him!
@@ScoresUnstitched Online, it says you're an " ex opera singer " ... I've never performed in an opera - I sing the arias in concert. At the moment, I'm G2 to D6 ... My F above high C vanished with my youth - about ten years ago - when I began trading in my whistle notes for lower tones - which is fine with me - I love singing Carmen's Seguidilla. The operas I've written are gorgeous and glorious - I love my opera - but other areas of expertise might be even more impressive - depending on a person's interest - because I'm trained in French, Italian, German, Spanish and Latin - obviously - but I added several more languages to my performance repertoire - and then I use those languages to do hard-core research into old old historic documents - that have dates on them - which collectively serve as time-stamps that provide a very different chronology for our human history - and for the history of our Earth - so that may be a strong contender for my most impressive achievement. This recording you made is wonderful - what other projects are you working on and preparing to finish?
Fantastic job Cait, great narrative edit and wonderful to watch the genuine reaction as you witness your own process. And of course, beautiful singing!
@@joelk3187 Hi! This is called a "comment section." People place their comments in them, expressing their opinion on what they just watched. Make sense? Come back tomorrow and I'll teach you colors :D
@@marzi8456 Yes this is a comment section, but it is a part of something called 'western society', where treating others with respect and kindness is how we interact with each other. I have no problem with your right to express your opinion; that is why we are free to comment (next time, actually read my comment instead of misinterpreting it as being an attack on your RIGHT to comment, and not just the subject of the comment). But there is an expected protocol to doing this. Being unnecessarily rude and sarcastic because your anonymity allows for it is lousy and pathetic. Calling someone's work "horrible" achieves nothing at all, let alone the fact you're comparing two incomparable mediums - ignoring the "horrible" comment, thankyou for your incredibly important analysis that a long, complex classical music video containing huge amounts of visual and audio editing, that took months to create, is higher quality than a 60-minute ad-libbed podcast about songs. Whenever you feel the need to say "Don't take this as rude, but...", think again about what you're about to say.
@@marzi8456 Once again you’ve misread and misinterpreted what I’ve said, ironically. “I have no problem with your right to express your opinion; that is why we are free to comment (next time, actually read my comment instead of misinterpreting it as being an attack on your RIGHT to comment, and not just the subject of the comment).” Just because you CAN say something, doesn’t mean you SHOULD.
Why this video doesn't have more views is beyond me. This was such an enjoyable watch and listen. Loved the result.
I get tears!!! This is lovely.

I soooo love your humorous way to do and describe things you're doing - aaand the 200-times-you-choir is sooo stunning and mezmerizing
Thank you so much! 🙈 I'm so glad you liked it!

Bewondered by your work. Also bewildered and bewitched.

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS LMAO. (It sounds really great fr. I don't love this piece but I love 200 of you singing it LOL)
Ummmmm... you should publish this arrangement. 🤩
The making of your project is terrifically entertaining!
