This video helped me a lot for my solo & ensemble piece. You pronounce your vowels BEAUTIFULLY. Your voice is great! Thank you!

[@narniafreak27]

This is one of the best versions I've heard! Very pure tone and good air control!

[@probleem177]

Surely a valuable and most entertaining version. You've got a very promising voice, Margarita.

[@samanthathompson9812]

Nailed the ornamentation. I've been studying singing for 20 years and some of these comments are out to lunch. Anyway I suspect music of this period would have been sung more idiosyncratically than some of these commenters know.

[@bekkahhBOOx13]

i think you have an amazing voice! its very clear and pure and i love your use of rolling your r's. your high notes are also really gorgeous and have lots of power. i had just did this song in my voice lab class and listened mostly to your video and it helped me learn it alot better. youre phenomenal!

[@r8chel15xD]

Your the best one on KZbin who sings this

[@FallOutAtTheDisco478]

I am doing this song for All-State auditions this year and this has helped me so much, you have a wonderful voice :)

[@rawrgurl13]

this song is so beautiful this is da song that made me want to start singin

[@saracruz831]

Amarilli, mia bella Non credi, o del mio cor dolce desio, D'esser tu l'amor mio? Credilo pur, e se timor t'assale, Prendi questo mio strale, Aprimi il petto e vedrai scritto in core: Amarilli, Amarilli, Amarailli è il mio amore.

[@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx]

Still my favorite!

[@DBRAD6982]

Very nice voice!!!!!!! This song is done very well!! One little thing is that you scoop into the note when you have a D starting the word, but other than that it is great!!!! You have very nice breath support also!

[@Prussitalicus]

Ottima pronuncia della Lingua Italiana -- e chi scrive è un Toscano -- , bella voce e buona impostazione. Che possa continuar nella lirica barocca e far di meglio! Auguri vivissimi!

[@andyamayab]

Bella voz, Margarita!!! Felicitaciones...

[@centrodelenguayculturachin9846]

Magnifico! me ha encantado, una voz preciosa!

[@musicftw2145]

Gorgeous voice! And thanks for saving my choir final! :]

[@maladow]

I absolutely loved this video. My voice teacher and I just started working on this song and I needed good resources to listen to and I found one. You're amazing!!^_^

[@muzicmanic92]

i basically died and went to heaven. i love your voice

[@donnaanna4035]

You really have a beautiful voice! Sometimes you really sound a bit flat, one can hear this when you sing your first note, but I think that's nothing big or too bad you couldn't correct easily. I really love your version, it beautiful!

[@baroquemusician1]

Very nice! Thanks, I was having trouble with the last part. Hearing you helped. Thanks!!

[@SensualToast]

Let me say this right now that you have a strong and powerful voice.In the end with the 16 (or 8th notes,I forgot) you nailed it.And as said,the power you put in your voice is truly amazing,especially since the Italian language is sappost to be powerful.All In All,bravo!

[@taephoria_xoxo]

I'm happy that this is my solo for my competition coming up. I'm really using your voice to practice this. I'm in love with your voice and this song!!!

[@9428962]

[@phatbabyg16]

[@GABILENNON757]

[@LPSPetStars]

Great job.I have to sing this for vocal lessons.

[@izzyrubyirl]

[@reiomi]

Dude I have to learn this song as my solo in all state and I used your vid to practice! Your really good! I love how you did the ending constants in this song especially with the rr sound athens end of some notes!

[@spaake]

Where is the option to ignore all youtube comments? This is great music.

[@Erizou90]

especially at the "e-" and "i-"vocals. ;)

[@Dazzledweeb]

You sound absolutely fantastic 💗 You have a gorgeous voice!

[@yukinmm6754]

綺麗… 練習頑張ります！

[@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx]

Amazing and I thought you rolled your R's perfectly!

[@jay70599]

Amazing job! I sang it today for my college art supplement in medium high as well, using GarageBand.

[@JadeThompsonblog]

Such a pretty voice!

[@hockeywifeca]

Lovely. Your tone definitely improved as the piece went on. I heard a little thinness in the beginning. :)

[@Ronan-OHanlon]

Amazing

[@maria-yv8ou]

i love your voice!💞

[@zelki_tv]

Heavenly voice! :)

[@tenorperuano1]

i like it!! i am learning the piece anybody knows where can i find the paton version?

[@HelmerS123]

Superschön gesungen - mia bella

[@tipofmytongue1024]

Your tone is exquisite...most singers can't achieve you, you naturally have it. Girrl work it!! I will say, sometimes your vowels sound a little spread, just make sure they're tall (I'm sure you've heard this 492743892473892 times from your teachers) and to keep the air moving. I can hear the tone kinda pinched a little bit when you run out of air. Just keep it open cause you have a wonderful voice when its blossomed. keep singing girrl! You're great!

[@chicathee4]

@stephanieebsch: it starts in g minor and ends on a g major chord

[@skistar3]

does anyone know of an example of the medium low verson ?

[@diazmarg]

this is the medium high version. I definitely suggest that you go ahead and purchase the accompaniment cd for the 24 Italian Songs book in your key, it's a great investment =)

[@edengirl17]

@Shadowfeet09 what cd are you talking about? where can I find it? Thanks.

[@greatpharoh0303]

You have a great soft voice, quite pleasing actually :)

[@wayshow4]

it was the first song i sang...on stage when i was 7

[@IfTimeWouldOnlyStop]

What a beautiful voice :)

[@caticecchi]

bella voce e tecnica

[@gh1zu]

lovely

[@angelicbaby92]

This range in general should be easy for both mezzos and sopranos. It's very much in the "normal" or "average" range. It's not too high nor too low. so it should be easy for both.

[@MrRainbowUnicornNinj]

I am singing this song for solo and ensemble.... Its my first italian aria, i hope i do alright

[@shibadoc]

Lovely voice and you did a lovely job. You might try for more contrast in dynamics. I would love to hear your voice at a p(iano) range.

[@laurenj432]

Amarilli, mia bella, Non credi, o del mio cor dolce desio, D'esser tu l'amor mio? Credilo pur: Dubitar non ti vale. Aprimi il petto e vedrai scritto in core: Amarilli, Amarilli, Amarailli è il mio amore. Amarilli, mia bella, Non credi, o del mio cor dolce desio, D'esser tu l'amor mio? Credilo pur: Dubitar non ti vale. Aprimi il petto e vedrai scritto in core: Amarilli, Amarilli, Amarailli è il mio amore. Amarailli è il mio amore.

[@beatricepriyadarshini4422]

I m using ure video to practice

[@685Kaycee]

truly beautiful, yes i did notice that you did go flat in some places but, its all trial and error. otherwise you would never get any better!

[@kmcm1089]

This is... Wow. I showed this to my voice teacher and he smiled... and that's a hard thing to make him do... excelent work!

[@Alberad08]

What makes it very enchanting for me is that your voice sounds very natural through the whole piece - a high ideal at Caccini's time. If you would apply a bit rubato/agogics (they called it just "affetti" back then) and even some "fermate", your version would gain more personality. Presumably the outcome would be just overwhelming. And - I have to say it - watch your distance from the microphone. BTW you might like my composition "Du bist mein Land/You are My Land". Now - haha - I really see how old this recording is (I didnt look on the date of uploading when I began to write my response), you might be a perfectly accomplished singer today, and I hope you didn't loose the naturality of your beautiful voice! Best wishes!

[@Poopcornian]

@Shadowfeet09 When I auditioned for CMEA my music teacher let me download it all for free :-)

[@carloschant]

I think you sound absolutely wonderful. It reminds me of Kathleen Battle. I guess as you keep progressing you will get better at initiating the D. My onset of the high notes are not perfect either. But for this song you're good enough. Good luck to your singing.

[@xxxxSOSEXYxxxx]

I also don't think you went flat at anytime singing this aria!

[@alexlewis7004]

You go flat in places, especially the last 6 measures

[@adriandanailaclassicalguitar]

Beutiful !

[@wolkowy1]

You have a beautiful voice, which is going to ripe more under a good coaching and technique instruction. I wouldn't "darken" your sound as E Harris's comment suggested , because one should stick to his own assets and true nature. Why "darken" a bright beautiful voice? I would however, suggest you will treat this particular aria more freely with its tempo. Don't be afraid to 'break' the formality. Wishing you all the best and success.

[@NicoleMinielli]

Your voice is truly beautiful. I only have one complaint: you have a tendency to go flat. I think that elevating the voice would really help you produce an even more amazing sound .

[@Honeydew7396]

Very nice--I'd just make my vowels a bit more vertical.

[@NateMWarn]

Would recommend bringing your voice more through the mask. I won't call you "nasally", but you would benefit from bringing your tone forward. I sang this in high school for state.

[@joylindadichamounix]

This is a chilling song. It will always remind me of the 9/11 attacks. I first learned this song weeks before & it was like a premonition.

[@BeckieF67]

Check out maryluvsmusic98 singing Amarilli Mia Bella! Tell all your friends!

@Keeby12 LOL, me TOO!!!!!!! hahaah :)

[@jogrubec]

That was very nice-but work on your head voice a little more-but it a beautiful

[@linabrooks5634]

is this alto or soprano ?

[@user-hs4qs7kp3e]

모노디임, '아마릴리로 시작되는 g마이너' 악보보면, 모노디란 생각을 먼저 해야 한다. 작곡가 카치니는 모노디를 아리아와 마드리갈로 구분했는데, 아리아는 유절, 하나의 멜로디에 여러적의 가사 부를때, 모노디 형태의 통절 노래는 마드리갈 이라고 이름 했다 모노디의 특징: 독창곡, 콘티누오 반주 따른다, 2작법으로 가사가 우선 (즉 일상적인 말의 리듬 종중한다 )

[@9428962]

Voice is sooooo much nicer than Cecillia B.

[@MarkusGabot]

Te quedo bello pero con más vibrato sería más bello todavía.

[@HahaHeatherLynne]

This was really pretty, but you rolled your "r's" a little too hard. It's really good though!

[@riaheatskittles]

this was very well done. however you seemed a little breathy, so support your breathing a bit more, and your trills were fantastic, need some work on your italian, but that comes in time, and you did scoop in a few parts, which makes the song more "poppy" as i say, which isn't needed so work on that. i'd give this around a B, it was fantastic, keep working! =]

[@orlando098]

@supwitchyou I think she sounds nice, and while I see what you are getting at I don't think you can get far without a good teacher. Just trying to press down your larynx etc. on your own isn't likely to help, and I'm dubious about "sending the air through the nose" - maybe a little bit, but too much and it would not be good, I don't think. I agree though ideally this singer might benefit from a bit more weight and support in the sound.

[@houdaouazzani5954]

[@adamchase1928]

arias are supposed to be consistent, not switching between p and f. I for one think she did a great job.

[@ACKMACKE]

Work a little on making your words not so bright. This is a haunting song full of heartbreak. Your voice does convey but I wish you would darken your sound and add emphasis to some of your words with dynamic changes and slight breaks. On the three dramatic Amarilli's: crescendo a little more each time. Taking a slight pause after the last dramatic, ringing AMARILLI, take a bit of a pause, before moving into "eil mio amore....." Otherwise: Great work! I enjoyed your rendition.

[@annaduong4211]

Try to keep the notes spinning, don't let them be straight tone :)

[@louisetuelle1249]

I sing it i am 12 years old !!!!!

[@rainyperson]

I can sing it and I'm 12 almost 12 too!!!

[@ubermensch811]

Beautiful voice and beautiful face. This piece shouldn't be quite so rhythmically strict, it's not a march. allow your voice to sing the phrase fully. Your "ee" vowels are so much better than mine.

[@KyleGraycar]

it'd be cool if we could like see you sing it. you kno? like mouthsinc a vid with yur garageband file.

[@caseygreyson4178]

Weirdo

[@KyleGraycar]

@@caseygreyson4178 yes I am :) but also this comment is 11 years old haha.

[@Roses0421]

Very good pronounciation, but there was a lot of scooping. All in all, it was a grade A performance.

[@sofibell88]

the first "amarilli" and "des" you are sliding up to the note and doing something funny, practice pitch exercises, i recommend getting a voice teacher to help with ur technique, the "mio" and "cre" sound spread sing it taller, practice your vowels its sounding too much like a pop song, some parts you are singing funny notes

[@andreafurlan6587]

orrenda performance!!tecnica zero!!

[@plazas94]

Amazing
