This is me singing Handel's "Sweet Bird" from "L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato" (HWV 55) in a rehearsal for a concert at SFCM. It is just the exposition/"A" section of the piece. The flautist and I are improvising the ornaments so in a couple of places I sing a weird note (like at 3:42).... Also at 1:15 my flautist's music falls off the stand! :-) Lyrics: Sweet Bird, Sweet bird that shun'st the noise of folly Most musical - most melancholy Thee, chauntress oft the woods among I woo, I woo, to hear thy evensong I woo, to hear thy evensong. Sweet bird, Sweet bird that shun'st the noise of folly Most musical, Most melancholy. Most musical, most melancholy. Thee, chauntress, oft the woods among I woo To hear thy evensong. Thee, chauntress oft the woods among I woo, I woo to hear: Thy evensong! instrumentalists: anonymous
