  • From 2010, Dusty Wright presents singer/songwriter Anaïs Mitchell at her farm in Vermont. This is another wonderful song from her album Hadestown (A Folk Opera). Dusty Wright's One-Takes are a series of songs by artists you know, should know, or will know very soon.

    “Alright anaïs, where do you wanna film this one?”
    “Hey what about that velvet chair sitting out in the over grown field”
    “Why do you have that?”
    “This occasion”

    This whole album blows me away and the guest artists add the next dimension that is needed to off set her voice. The fact that she turned an opera into a modern day rock/opera is extraordinary

  • @erinlaboricua

    They had the mic a little hot, slight distortion on the belts, but I have heard a lot of her stuff, beautiful voice, great writer, and one of the best interpreters of old folk songs around. I think she's great.

    I've literally discovered Anaïs Mitchell twice. The first time was her authentic, translated tale of Tam Lin and then this... and I didn't recognize her as the same person.
    It would be a shame if she became the next Eva Cassidy.

    Is there a functional harmony in what is sung here vs what sung the show for “there’s a crack in the wall”?

    • @buttons6171
      @buttons6171 Před 4 lety +6

      the solfege for this version is: la la mi re do mi
      and the solfege for the show is: mi mi la so mi la (higher, the first two notes are a fifth apart and the rest are a fourth apart, except for "the" which is a third apart as the show's version needs that note to be "mi" to fit the chord/overall harmony better)
      the melody for this version does work as a harmony for the show's version! i'm not sure how to explain how it "functions" per se but they definitely harmonise

    Being about mythology doesn't make something an opera.If here is no orchestra involve it is not an opera. If you want to make a musical, call it a musical. The genre of musical has been unfairly stigmatized long enough and by calling pieces of art that are clearly not operas "opera", you are furthering that stigmatization.

    • @spencerthompson7414

      The Magic Flute has spoken words, and many other operas as well. An Opera is a "musical" but in the classical tradition as opposed to being jazz or another popular musical genre.

    • @Tormental
      @Tormental Před 6 lety +9

      Opera.
      noun
      1. an extended dramatic composition, in which all parts are sung to instrumental accompaniment, that usually includes arias, choruses, and recitatives, and that sometimes includes ballet.
      Compare comic opera, grand opera.
      2. the form or branch of musical and dramatic art represented by such compositions.
      3. the score or the words of such a composition.
