Ave Maria - (Caccini/Vavilov) - in the Cathedral of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal

[@teodoravasilichi]

My very first musical performance on an island! 🙂 At the end of my vacation on the Portuguese island Madeira, I got the opportunity to sing in the Cathedral of Funchal, the capital of Madeira. I sang Ave Maria by Vavilov (attributed to Caccini), accompanied by organ. This is a song that I usually sing in cathedrals, wherever I travel. However, right before the beginning of the divine service, the organist said he could only play the song in a higher key than the one I had on my music score. Without any preparation, I had to accept the offer and the challenge at the same time. He played the song in a key two times higher than the one I was used to. I was happy I could make this experience and mark another spot in Europe where I sang. Through my experiences so far, I´ve learnt that an artist should be flexible to spontaneous changes and be able to adapt or improvise, despite the risks involved. I hope I could still do justice to this beautiful classical song, which I would like to share with you now.
