Now to find out who the Sondheim person is. Didn't he write disco music?

Imagine my despair when I discovered this afternoon how completely wrong I was when I did "Losing My Mind" two years ago at one of my recitals!

I remember my grandmother singing me those songs Ann. I was only a kindergarten child in the 1700's though.
I must check and see if Joan Sutherland sings them on "Songs My Mother Taught Me". She may have had the same recital books.

Jed: Practise.
I love the droll Pet Shop Boys. I think Liza had lost hers!

Find me a lonely cave,
Remote from human kind,
Dark as the midnight grave,
And dismal as my mind.
There let me sigh my soul away,
And mourn at cruel death's delay.

Is this the one?  :D

There are some lovely early English songs.  It always struck me how the serious songs were truly serious in tone, while the "happier" ones tended to be on the naughty side.  All those "code" words and phrases.  I remember blushing in Song Lit class when some of the texts were "translated".

??????

Although, the first song I ever used for an audition was, "I Enjoy Being A Girl".  I just really liked the song and wanted to sing it.  I guess I was fated ever since... :P

Jose - This is in response to disco renditions shared with me by our dear Tom from Oz. :D

Time for me to sign off for the night. I think it is Ann's turn to be first post of the new day!

Congratulations on your recital, Ann!  Just wanted to get that in before the end of the day.
