Well, my voice teacher called me today. She tells me that she will be staying in bed until her baby is born..somtime early next month. And then she will take two weeks off. So my recital is the first weekend of May, and I chose to work on Allerseelen, Voi Che Sepate, and The Turtle Dove...I mentioned my final choices to my teacher this evening and she wasn't happy. She asked me what happened to Lovliest of trees and I told her that i had heard it was usually never done outside the shropshire lad song cycle and usually never sung by anything but a baritone. She said she thought Lovliest of Trees would be fine for me and to stick with it. She said Voi Che Sepate...was too frivilous for me and to choose something more appropriate. I mentioned that I didn't feel I would be ready at all for a recital the first weekend in May, but she said I had ample time to get ready. I am sort of anxious now....I don't feel that I will be ready....I will have no lessons...so I am on my own. I feel like I should be able to say "hey I won't be ready" and have that be okay...I also believe that Lovliest of Trees should left out. So now I have no aria again...and I am working on my German for Allerseelen...but I am on my own now.
What should I do? Help!!!!
