    I'm an old man but his brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. So pure, so innocent, so perfect. This how an angel would sound if this voice came straight from heaven. Such a special talent embodied in a such a beautiful soul. Keep bringing joy to the world through your voice and presence. Jesus smiles every time you sing. Blessings to you.

      It has been many years since I sang in my church boys choir. It seemed so natural for us to do so. We showed up for weekly practice on Wednesday evening then sang on Sunday at mass. We sang Latin masses & to be honest we had no idea what it meant (obviously we knew Kyrie eleison &
      a few other ones) but my point is this… most boys have the gift to sing as a soprano or even an alto as they age.

      @@oddvegan9797 Many of the international female sopranos singing this aria don't have the proper style. They use too many romantic effects: too much vibrato, too many glissandi ( a manner of sliding from a note to the other), operatic pronunciation of the latin... This music is not romantic at all. It needs simplicity, clarity, and at the same time fervor and sincerity. It's a balance very difficult to find. Usually, the treble voice for who Fauré wrote this page are better than adult singers in this piece. A good teacher who knows very well the french sacred repertory can teach it in a good way.
