Today I’m choosing the Beauty of the Human Voice. I, myself, am a violinist. The violin is supposed to be the closest sound to the human voice. I took a few voice lessons, and the breathing was way difficult! Wow, I’m impressed with vocalists. What stamina! Also with wind instrumentalists!
I did discover that violinists must play with their whole bodies, too, though. Breathing with the creation of your musical sound and the movements of one’s body are very essential for unified sound, and connection with one’s whole field.
I’m starting out with an adorable little girl who is singing “Can’t help falling in love with you!”, accompanied with her ukulele!

The next is Vocalise by Rachmaninoff. It was written for the Female Voice with no words. I like Anna Moffo’s version the best, which does not include her actual visual. I suggest just closing your eyes, and listening.
Anna Moffo: Rachmaninoff, ‘Vocalise’ Op. 34 No.14
The third one is Kol Nidre” a Hebrew Prayer for the High Holy Day Of Yom Kippor. This is also beautiful on the cello, which to me sounds like the deep male human voice..

And this one…

The fourth one is “Bachaus Brazilianis” by Villa Lobos. This also is wonderful to close the eyes and just listen to the beautiful human voice!

This Jesse Norman version of “Samson and Delilah” I have posted elsewhere. I used to have the original video from PBS back home, but it didn’t seem to survive my move. We used to sit and listen to it enraptured and enthralled by such a master vocalist! What a gift she gives to our world!
Miss Norman seems to be transported into another reality as she sings. She becomes “Ain Soph” before our very eyes!
(The Feminine Creative Life Energy before Creation)
At the end, it’s amazing to watch her come back very slowly from where she has been embodied until a sweet smile finally breaks through!

Now we’re back to 2 famous little girls singing “ O Mio Babbino Cara”. The amazing Jackie Evancho and Amira Willighagen. How fortunate we are with the Indigo, Crystalline, Rainbow and so on, children who are now gracing our planet. They are here in every way we humans create beauty!
Remember, we adults did our part by building the rainbow bridge through which they could enter. We all win!
Jackie Evancho vs. Amira Willighagen –
Both sing O mio babbino caro at the age of 9

I am including an original YouTube of Amira Willighagen singing “ O Mio Babbino Cara” (Recorded before the above YouTube!) in a concert with André Rieu. Please notice the beautiful connection between them as he encourages Amira to hold several high notes. At one point she even raises her little hand as she looks into his eyes and he holds the orchestra to follow her lead.
And lastly, our beloved André Rieu, who has brought so much humor and joy to us all along with his beautiful music! What a master!
His version of “Can’t help falling in love with you!” Here, we ALL get to SING ALONG and DANCE!!!
“Can’t help falling in love with you!” André Rieu
