Mariah - 2 ver.

Показать описание
==================================================================
The first rendition of, "They Call The Wind Mariah", is from "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" during the late 1950s.
The second is by Harve Presnell, somewhere around 1965.
Congratulations - You have graduated from "Music Appreciation and Understanding" 101, and are now ready to advance to "Style, Talent and Voice Application" 201.
I want to assure you that ALL of the following is presented with the utmost impartiality, and a complete lack of ANY preferential biases or prejudices !! (Gee, if I can lie that, maybe I should consider politics)
Now that you have learned to discern an EXCEPTIONAL voice (Sissel's) from an average, a mediocre, or a downright inferior voice (all of the rest), you are ready you approach the more subtle points that set the EXCEPTIONAL singer (again SISSEL) apart from ALL of the rest.
Today we are going to examine the art of "making a song your own" - of choosing, arranging, presenting and singing a song in such a manner that it merges with your personality, and seems to become an integral part of the singer. This is what sets her apart as a true "Musical Genius" !!
This Sissel does "par excellence" !! Part of the "magic" of her singing is that she identifies with and enters into the very heart of the song - becomes one with it. What she then presents are NOT just words and sounds - but she imparts a part of herself (and the heart and spirit of the song) - along with it. The song becomes a LIVING extension of Sissel herself !!
In the accompanying video, I think that we have a sterling example of this "Magic". First, the Smothers Brothers. Their talent and voices are OK, but this is definitely NOT their song. Their looks, their personality, their presentation, their style, and their voices are TOTALLY at variance with the song.
Now, as to Harve Presnell - it is absolutely HIS song. The song express (and requires) masculinity, power, strength and a subtle yet untamable wildness. ALL of these he beautifully brings to the song. Also - mark this miraculous day (I can't believe that I am saying it) - he possesses an outstanding and talented voice.
