Pieta, Signore! (Stradella)

Malia Nelson Vocal Performance Audition 2017

[Nina-noqj]

Very pretty! I’m doing this song too for college auditions, so I’m gonna tell you what my teacher told me. This song is really in the story- so you have to sell it. Phrasing, dynamics, and emotion really make this song (I mean, you’re telling God to have mercy on your soul and not to send you to hell!). It’s like you’re begging him out of desperation!! That’s the stuff I’m good at, but breath control is where I’m struggling actually (a stuffy nose and some jitters ;-;) so your video is really helpful to me!

This is one of my favorite arias. I sing it myself, but I don't have her angelic voice... great job!

[chrisutopian]

Wonderful song. Graceful voice. Thank you for the great music! 💝💝💝

"Pietà, Signore"

Pietà, Signore,
di me dolente!
Signor, pietà
se a te giunge il mio pregar;
non mi punisca
il tuo rigor.
Meno severi,
clementi ognora,
volgi i tuoi sguardi
sopra di me, sopra di me.

Non sia mai
che nell'inferno sia dannato
nel fuoco eterno
dal tuo rigor.
Gran Dio, giammai
sia dannato
nel fuoco eterno
dal tuo rigor.

Pietà, Signore,
Signor, pietà
di me dolente!
Se a te giunge il mio pregar;
volgi i tuoi sguardi
su me Signor.

Pietà, Signore,
di me dolente!
Signor, pietà
se a te giunge il mio pregar;
non mi punisca
il tuo rigor.
Meno severi,
clementi ognora,
volgi i tuoi sguardi
sopra di me, sopra di me.

Non sia mai
che nell'inferno sia dannato
nel fuoco eterno
dal tuo rigor.
Gran Dio, giammai
sia dannato
nel fuoco eterno
dal tuo rigor, dal tuo rigor.

holy crap, one of the most beautiful voices I have heard! angelic, effortless, bright, and beautiful!

[МаринаАхмедова-ин]

Очень нежный тембр голоса! Как-будто ангел поёт! И слова этой арии, хоть и жестоки, требующие наказать Господа бога неверного за нанесенную обиду, всё-таки полны любви! Спасибо за чувственное исполнение. Очень трогательно и нежно!!!

This was the first aria I was given at the Conservatorium of Music. I adored it them and I still do now, 35 years later. Such a shame the introduction was cut short though. Well done

[oliviainberg]

So gorgeous! Your rendition of this song was an inspiration to me in my college audition about a month ago.

[AngelaPredhomme]

Good Lord, this is stunning. The quality of your voice stopped me in my tracks! Hey, I'm a singer-songwriter, and I sang this in voice lessons years ago. It's one of my faves. Please check out my original pop music if you like. Just look me up ---Angela Predhomme :) Hope you're doing well and actively singing still.

voice quality is beautiful, intonation and breath control are great but your phrasing is non existent
