O Del Mio Dolce Ardor by Gluck

This is one of my favorite classical songs that I've sung. When I was first assigned this piece, I fell in love with it and immediately learned all the notes. However, I also ran into challenges during my process of honing the piece. For example, breath control, the ornaments, high notes, and large intervals required a lot of perseverance and growth. Furthermore, because this is an aria, there are many details in terms of emotional changes I had to really be specific about and a lot of artistic choices to make. When the theme first comes, it starts with a flirty feeling, then as it comes back again in the end, there is more desperation. Overall, I really enjoyed the process of working on this piece and am so happy to be able to perform it.

Creativity means taking anything and adding your own imagination and vision to it. It applies to all art and not just art.
