Published by Abigail Gilson (A0.1024940).          The main feeling of this poem is hope, just hope to make the world a better place, to help someone in need. A young girl, so naive and innocent, who believes that she can live a good life by making the lives of others better. But as the song cycle continues we see that for some women, their dreams will never become a reality. We see hints of this in this piece, as in the second section, the piece dips into a minor key. Suggesting that the woman girl has started to give up on her dreams. But the girl keeps singing, saying that she’ll help a fainting robin. She has not given up yet, and will not let her dreams fade.

Duration: 41/2 minutes     Are mezzo sopranos known ONLY for singing the Habanera? Of course not, but it is one of their most requested arias.     So, dispel the misinformation! Clear the air! Defend your mighty status as a Mezzo Soprano with this veritable laugh riot of an aria. When a Mezzo directs an opera is your opportunity to promote the splendor of this wonderful voice type, to take your stand, and assume your place among the most noble, most intellectually stable, and most erudite soprano - well, at least the most likely to survive at the hands of some tenor!     The first aria to be published from Gary Belshaw’s hilarious Two Act Music Comedy, Incident at Burro Java (coming soon to Sheet Music Plus, When a Mezzo will delight your audience during a recital or as part of an Opera Workshop or Opera Scenes program. The role was created in April 2016 by Cloyce Kuhnert, a director of opera herself. Cloyce brought a lot of personal experience to the role in the premiere. The more you know about opera and opera plots, the more often you’ll laugh. But you don’t have to be an aficionado to have a tough time singing some of these lines without snickering or outright bursting with laughter yourself. And we all know what snickering can do to your vocal apparatus, right?!     The audio clip is from the premiere of the music comedy Incident at Burro Java. Cloyce Kuhnert is the mezzo on the recording, and the Plainview Symphony Orchestra was conducted by the composer.

Soprano voice,Vocal Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.799619 Composed by Gioachino Rossini. Arranged by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo. Classical,Opera,Romantic Period. 13 pages. Nicole Elyse DiPaolo #5334741. Published by Nicole Elyse DiPaolo (A0.799619). The first of its kind, this is a customized Comtesse-only audition cut of En proie à la tristesse from Gioachino Rossini's Le comte Ory (1828). In the past, singers wishing to audition for this role would have to make a series of awkward cuts to eliminate the gaps created by the Comte and Isolier's lines, and deal with a needlessly inflated page count due to the choral parts, when performing this excerpt. The current edition omits and condenses those passages and, as a result, noticeably reduces the page count to 13. In addition, this new engraving is remarkably clearer than the existing French-language vocal score, which has deteriorated severely from age.The piano reduction itself has not been simplified or drastically altered (at the commissioner's request), although the engraving features minor changes from the original edition (for example, eliminating cross-staff chord notation, correcting some obvious typos, and reconciling details in the Ricordi and French editions).In this edition, the score cuts immediately from 2 measures after rehearsal 41 to the beginning of rehearsal 42 (so the Comtesse sings the last syllable of bonheur on the first downbeat of cut time and the C major/C minor sections are cut away completely). This brings the excerpt in line with most cavatina/cabaletta numbers that do not have a discernible break in between the two.About the Arranger: Praised as a sensitive pianist and outstanding accompanist who delivers powerful interpretations, Nicole Elyse DiPaolo enjoys a multifaceted career as a sought-after collaborative pianist, educational composer, arranger, coach, private teacher, and adjunct music professor. Currently based in the Cleveland area, Ms. DiPaolo has appeared as a concerto soloist with the Ambassador Chamber Players on multiple occasions and as a recitalist, collaborator, and presenter worldwide. Currently, Ms. DiPaolo is an online Adjunct Lecturer in Music at Indiana University; the Principal Theory Teacher at Liberty Park Music, an online-only video subscription-based music school; an invited blog contributor and guest instructor at Tonebase; and a sought-after online instructor of piano, music theory, and composition who includes partimento and historical improvisation in her curricula. For more information, please visit http://ndipaolo.musicaneo.com .

Really Good Music, LLC. #4403476. Published by Really Good Music, LLC. (A0.868693).  Sposa son disprezzata is an aria, originally composed by Geminiano Giacomelli (1692 – 1740) for his opera La Merope (1734) and borrowed by Antonio VIVALDI (1678 – 1741) for the pasticcio Bajazet, composed – and compiled – in 1735. Most existing publications of voice and piano arrangement of Sposa son disprezzata date back to the version (far enough from the original), first published in the 1880s. On the contrary, the proposed publication has been realized and arranged by Sergei Pichugin for voice and piano directly from the score manuscript of the opera. The aria may be an invaluable addition to the repertoire of vocal teachers and students. It is available in the key of F minor (C4 – G5) for high voice.

This is an uptempo song with some challenging modulations and a wide range (G3-B5), but a catchy tune and lyrics that poke fun of the belligerence of modern society.The world today’s gone mad, they say,And I feel it’s a fitting rebuke,No sooner you’re meeting a stranger,Than he’s telling you Put up your dukes, There’s no longer a role for a peaceful soul,When you’re caught between muscle and might,If you’re gonna get through,There’s just one thing to do,So you take a deep breath,And you join in the fight! Hit ‘em again,If it’s rough, make it rougher,Someone’s gotta suffer,But you’ll be the one who survives,When they’re aiming to give you the worst,You can beat ‘em by hitting ‘em first!Then hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again. Hit ‘em again,Make it long, make it lasting,They’re practically askingFor a pummeling right in the puss,They’ll remember how right you areWhen you leave ‘em a permanent scar,Hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again,Hit ‘em again. A swine who would sooner cut you than concede,But he won’t look half as tough when his nose is bleeding,You can spout your facts and figures but eventually you findIt’s better to make him have to change his pants than change his mind. Hit him again,Make him dance, make him dizzy,Sure it’s brutal, but is heNot a villain deserving of grief?He’s a louse and unless I’m mistook,All his geese should be thoroughly cooked!So hit him again,And then… Hit him again,Make him shake, make him shudder,When he’s starting to sputter,It’s then you go in for the kill,Leave him all in a heap on the pitch,‘Til he’s crying like some little bitch!Hit him again,Hit him again,Hit him again, and then again!

With words by Fiona McEwan, the score is a song  for female voice and piano/keyboard.  It's based on the Prelude Opus 8 Nr 5 for piano by Pachulski and I have simplified the accompaniment to reveal the basic harmonies.  It's quite short, lasting about 2 minutes and I presume it would suit a pop singing voice, or a singer who can imitate that sort of voice.

Composer’s Note - The BirdsI lived for a couple of years in a little top floor Art Deco apartment in Sydney’s Kings Cross. There were always birds sitting on my window sill because of the huge Jacaranda tree outside. I was at a bit of a crossroads in my life at that time, and would spend at least an hour daily walking in the neighbourhood, along those twisting, sloping streets and slowly eroding sandstone staircases so typical of Sydney’s harbourside suburbs. On the wall by such a staircase very close to my home was a tiny red spray painted bird with little music notes emanating from his beak. His was a constant presence in my life, I really rather liked him.Birds seemed to be making appearances everywhere in my life at that time, which I took as some kind of message from the universe. I was reading quite a lot of Christina Rossetti that year too, enjoying her writings about birds and all that they symbolised for her; beauty and sadness, hope and joy. There was a quiet optimism in her words, sometimes veiled but always present, which propelled me to write this song cycle T​ he Birds.​-- Sally Whitwell
