It's an acquired taste, and truthfully, Opera's not really something I listen to. I greatly respect the talent and musicianship, but it's not my normal 'go-to' music,lol! I just liked the stark solo singing and thought it would be a weird-but-fun thing to build a song around.<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-35834408821711303652014-10-31T14:57:04.487-04:002014-10-31T14:57:04.487-04:00Thank you, Susan!

It makes me wonder how many amazing performers we've missed through the ages that were never recorded. <br /><br /><a href="http://crystalcollier.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Unleashing the Dreamworld</a>Crystal Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912469552483168148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-58862185859318411392014-10-27T18:08:56.803-04:002014-10-27T18:08:56.803-04:00You know what's funny (though I'm not sure...You know what's funny (though I'm not sure you're going to laugh)?

Wow! As fas as I know, pieces in literature (I think it's pretty similar in music) become public domain after 100 years of original publication, or upon the author's death. So I think you might be game. =) Good luck in your creative endeavours!Georgina Moraleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164961271767174713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-85773454875066276192014-10-27T11:28:53.926-04:002014-10-27T11:28:53.926-04:00Thanks, Lee!

...Thank you, Mr. Mac! I'm glad you enjoyed it.<br /><br />You know what? I'm not an opera guy. I just happened to like the stark solo voice and control and range in Lily's singing when I stumbled on the clip I found, and I thought it would be kind of fun and weird to try and merge it with my normal guitar jamming creations, and I think it turned out okay.<br /><br />And thanks for the heads up about the 1900 clip -- I liked the duel in the scene!<br /><br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-30621057793698089722014-10-27T08:30:43.433-04:002014-10-27T08:30:43.433-04:00Thank you so very much, Cherdo!

That's all I have to say. The human family is an ever-evolving beast. You are a part of Lily Pons' journey, bringing her largely-forgotten voice into another century. You heard it and it sparked something in you, enough to create both an homage and an original. I think it's a beautiful thing.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6838020557998499402.post-69203666854736425642014-10-26T13:28:04.029-04:002014-10-26T13:28:04.029-04:00That was hauntingly beautiful.

Love that moody atmosphere you created. <br /><br />Surprisingly, although I am not and never have been into opera, I am familiar with the name Lily Pons. I am not a musician, but I am a heavy reader on a number of subjects including music, and I suppose if one reads enough they will eventually come across all the famous names.<br /><br />At first, I didn't really like that high-pitched "screeching" Lily was doing, which was ruining the cool music you'd created, but after awhile I got used to it and accepted it. But only because your music helped cushion the blow, so to speak.<br /><br />Say, are you familiar with the movie 'The Legend Of 1900'? If not, you might enjoy the piano duel scene I've posted on my BOTB blog. Regardless of whether or not someone likes the musical choices of it, the theatricality of the scene should be appreciated.<br /><br />Thanks for giving us a taste of your new music. I genuinely like it!<br /><br />~ D-FensDogg<br />'Loyal American Underground'Stephen T.

Wouldn't inspire a house cleaning frenzy though :) I don't know anything about music copyrights, but if you give credit to the originals, I doubt you'd have a problem. So much music has been copied and redone. I like what you've done with this. Yes, I think it is original.dolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.com
