If Thou Art With Me

Off to my singing exam this morning!
Here is what I am singing:
Ave Maria- Caccinii (listen to it- absolutely beautiful)
Bist Du Bei Mir- often falsely attributed to Bach but actually by Stolzel
Flowing Sleeve and Trouser- Dvorak
The Cliffs of Tatra- Dvorak
Here in The Wood- Dvorak (these 3 part of a cycle of 7 Gypsy Songs)
Lo Hear The Gentle Lark- Sir Henry Bishop- words by The Bard
and something else but I am too nervous to remember.
A BEAUTIFUL set of songs and I am scared I won't do them justice.
First time I have actually been able to choose classical songs for an exam that actually mean something to me.
Note the lack of musical theatre- I am trying something new. Or old. A revisit perhaps.
AND NO 'POOR WANDRING ONE' for once.
Love to you all. Especially if you are doing exams too, my gentle readers.
