Goodnight Moon (Eric Whitacre)

[@deanmagpie]

returning to this four years later and it's still one of my favourites ever.

[@joshuadixon1577]

I come back a listen to this ALL THE TIME! Absolutely beautiful

[@marintack138]

Joshua Dixon thank you so much!!

[@nmurray2152]

Oh my...I thought this piece really needed all of the choral parts to but you made it fly all by yourself ! The piano and vocal...simply lovely!

[@marintack138]

N Murray thank you - I love this song with the choral parts as well!

[@cygnusxxii]

fun to hear the alto part come out in the piano (the go-oo-od night eighth notes etc)

The riskiest and dearest spot on the recital that culminates the work of the whole performance degree, that last, most personal song. I think you carried it off beautifully, and I'm especially happy you did, because I never heard this setting before. Come on, singers, what was your ending number on your thesis recital, that was so emotionally full it was risky? I sang "My man's gone now," in memory of the first accompanist who played it for me years earlier, and died before his time.

Brava, your singing it's amazing, may be I will try to do the male Tenor version of Eric Whitacre beautiful melody, congrats!

[@cbpd89]

I fell in love with the choral arrangement, I didn't even know there was a solo arrangement! I'll be looking for that for myself! I was so emotional during my senior recital too. You sound beautiful through it all regardless!!

[@okodee01]

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

[@nabeam1]

Beautiful singing...Beautiful playing

[@kamilish9919]

I wish this was my lullaby every night.

[@rebeccaocampo7847]

Beautiful!!!!

[@JohnMiller-ug9ej]

I live in Kansas City and I heard this arrangement on the radio. Not sure who the singer was but your the first post I found. Your stage presence is beautiful with the emotion to the song and to the piano player who showed emotion with her playing. Thank you for posting such a sweet lullaby and best wishes to you and the bright future ahead.

You sound beautiful 💜

[@marintack138]

Brittney Bryanna Burgess thanks so much!

[@OneForTheDollyBirds]

Not everybody fully understands this tune, but I get the distinct impression that you do. Fully. Thank you. On a side note, the piano player's left hand could have phrased a LITTLE better near the beginning, where the rhythmic activity increases, and her dynamics could have been a LITTLE more dramatic in later spots, especially in the right hand, but still . . . GREAT performance. (Sorry, I'm a private music teacher!) Oh, and there was a spot where she cleared the pedal. Why? This is Eric Whitacre: Sustain the dissonance!

People don't post their performances on KZbin to be critiqued. This isn't an appropriate venue for that.

[@marintack138]

OneForTheDollyBirds as I mentioned in other comments, my wonderful friend and pianist Amanda and I were performing this at the end of a very taxing and emotional recital. It’s hard to perfectly perform something when you’re trying not to cry or feeling tired. But that’s the beauty of music... it’s never meant to be perfect, it’s just meant to be moving and make a positive impact. Thank you for your compliments.

[@OneForTheDollyBirds]

@@marintack138 One of the disadvantages of being a musician / music teacher is that I just can't listen to anything without analyzing it to the maximum to determine whether and how it can be made better and better. But, favorably, SHARING that information at least contributes to the existence, development, and maintenance of our culture--even when others disagree with those analyzations. While I was here, I listened again and concluded that the piano's rubato could have been more dramatic! But, again, the overall performance is very, very satisfying, which is what really matters. Remember: I'm spending the time sharing this info only because I feel that the piano player is fully capable and well deserving of such "inside" information.

[@fsuchicky28]

Good stage presence, however I think that if you were a bit more gentle with the introduction of certain notes they wouldn’t sound as sharp

Tanner DeHaan if it’s online it’s open for constructive criticism.

[@marintack138]

Jaynie Darby I sang this at the end of a very taxing and emotional recital! I was trying my best to just get through it, therefore I was trying my best to be understood :-)
