Hello
I have always liked this song from Porgy and Bess. I am thinking of what to do for Stalybridge. I "sing" this to myself anyway, so wondered if, with some help from my tutor, I would be able to achieve singing it in July. What do you think? Is it too ambitious for a Gde 1 (hopefully!!) singer? All comments/advice welcome. Thank you. |

Well...I think my mind is made up to leave Summertime...maybe..perhaps.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Anyway, today I have been trying to do searches for the English lyrics to Santa Lucia..so far with no success. I'm not brave enough to attempt the Italian lyrics, so if anyone has the English translation, or can point me in the right direction, I would be grateful, please. I think my tutor has them, but I won't be seeing him now for a couple of weeks. Thank you. I do have the lyrics to Summertime though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here balmy breezes blow;pure joys invite us. And as we gently row, all things delight us. Hark, how the sailor's cry joyously echoes nigh: Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia! Home of fair poesy,* realm of pure harmony. Santa Lucia, Santa Lucia!" International Folk Songs for Solo Singers arranged by Jay Althouse. *a poem or verse Hope this helps. |
