Hi all,
I attended Julie McGinnity's senior recital tonight - I wish you all
could have been there. I don't have the language to describe her voice -
but I begin to understand why people become opera fans. It's one thing to
hear music via speakers, but it's another to feel the full acoustics of a
voice washing across the audience, encompassing a full dynamic range.
Starting out with some German lieder (classical songs), a medley of American
spirituals, hymns and forms I don't recognize, the event ended with Julie
bringing up Brie to the stage and singing "Old Mother Hubbard", in the manner
of Handel. I don't think Brie was quite sure what was going on but she did
seem to look up questioningly when the word 'Bone' was sung. At the end,
she was awarded with lots of petting, which she of course loved. It was
pretty funny, and sweet as well. Good to see such a good partner serenaded
on such a big night. The audience really loved it!
Quite and experience. I did some photos during and afterwards - I think
there are a few very good shots.
Couldn't stay for the reception - had to get home to prepare for a
meeting tomorrow.
Thanks for the invitation, Julie!
Dan
