Forever Young closing
We'll be closing our 2023 Showcase with an arrangement I did of the Bob Dylan song "Forever Young," although it's a bit more like the Joan Baez version (since that's the one I first heard!)

Scales & Arpeggios - arrangement by CTO
มุมมอง 62ปีที่แล้ว
I arranged Scales & Arpeggios as the opening number for my upcoming studio showcase, "Scales & Arpeggios, Arias & Barcarolles." I used MuseScore Pro as my platform and recorded it on Zoom just because it was the easiest way to do. The original piece was written by the Sherman Brothers (Richard & Robert) for the 1970 Disney movie The Aristocats (NOT to be confused with the 2005 comedy film The A...
Memorizing Foreign Lyrics
มุมมอง 47ปีที่แล้ว
In this short video, I talk about how to polish your memorization of a piece AND connect to the translation at the same time. I had the audition the next day and it went pretty well - I did stumble on a phrase but I blame that on an external source (what do they call vaguebooking in TH-cam?) #shorts #singingtips

My vocal folds being scoped at GBMC on 6/20/2022 - they looked healthy then! (A little scared of what they might look like post-COVID in July)
Birdsong - Emma Langford - SSA arrangement
มุมมอง 1182 ปีที่แล้ว
I met composer Emma Langford at Milwaukee Irish Fest in 2019, which was her U.S. debut. This song was written as a salute to the women of the Mise Fosta And Fairplé movements (Me Too) in Irish traditional music. I transcribed this arrangement from her CD, Sowing Acorns. Soloists: Juliet Jones, Dissonance McManus, Kay-Megan Washington, Sela McMullen Ensemble: Lily Porter, Vivie LaBellarte, Nicho...
If We Only Have Love Finale
มุมมอง 652 ปีที่แล้ว
This is a medley I wrote in 2010 for my studio showcase in Milwaukee and REwrote for this year's studio showcase. It consists of three songs: 1. If we only have love (Jacques Brel) 2. When you believe (Stephen Schwartz) 3. Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen) I'm very pleased with how this turned out. It was one of my early arranging efforts (and to date, one of the only ones), and I am pretty proud of i...

Happy Drinking Straw Day: Five Things You Can Do With Straws!
มุมมอง 682 ปีที่แล้ว
Using straws as part of your warm-up has been very trendy for a number of years. These SOVTEs (semi-occluded vocal tract exercises) aren't just a gimmick - they're based in actual pedagogy. Check out these 5 ideas from Mezzoid Voice Studio owner Christine Thomas-O'Meally as part of her National Drinking Straw Celebration Day (there's a holiday for everything), as well as why the kind of straw y...
Winter was warm, Mister Magoo Christmas Carol, Jule Styne/Bob Merrill
มุมมอง 4542 ปีที่แล้ว
As a child, Christmas was my favorite holiday (in concept, if not in execution). It still is. Even though my family didn't do much in the way of holidays, my traditions originated with the television Christmas special. This special was my introduction to the character of Ebenezer Scrooge. The music is by Jule Styne of GYPSY and FUNNY GIRL fame, and this particular song was sung by Belle when br...
Christmas, Solstice, Kwanzaa, Yuletide, Festivus and Hanukkah

A couple of years ago, I wrote this song parody for a Christmas Cabaret show that I did. I think it's time to share it with the world, although it wasn't a perfect performance and I'm going to rewrite some verses (if I can't remember it and *I* wrote it, clearly it's flawed). Enjoy.
Santa, send a fella

The perpetually lovelorn Sally Rogers sang this song on the Alan Brady Christmas special in December, 1963. Although I'm no Rose Marie, I thought it be fun to sing this on a recent cabaret show. But there was no music, so I had to transcribe it and write my own arrangement (why we take theory in college, folks!). Here's the outcome. Enjoy!
