Some singers strive to impress listeners with their technique and talent. Others sing to express the composer's piece and take you to another realm, one that in this case is celestial and beautiful.

He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; and He shall gather the lambs With His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and gently lead those that are With young. (Isaiah 40:11) Come unto Him, all ye that labour, come unto Him that are heavy laden, and He will give you rest. Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him, for He Is meek and lowly of heart, and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (Matthew 11:28-29)

Lovely. Masterful. The text came through clearly and the Great Shepherd of the Sheep, our Lord Jesus shone through the music of Handel and the superb artistry of Ms. Bonney. Notably, with her lovely, balanced range she was able to sing 'both' arias -- the mezzo soprano before the modulation to the higher key and then the soprano. Oh, and thank you for the diction, for the Bible text is the word of God Almighty. As a singer I recognize the talent, the labor, and the investment of many years of hard work this performance displays.

Except that, paradoxically, after you attain that control, singing right is the easiest way to sing. Once you are able to get out of the way so to speak. At least that has been my experience. I totally understand that others might have different experiences...

I have an electronic carillon which I play (bell recordings) for my neighbors every Sunday evening at sunset, and last evening I played this tune and now I can't get it out of my head. I'll bet Handel was overjoyed to meet Jesus when he passed over. I can imagine the embrace Jesus gave him for having delighted so many people for so many years with his heavenly music dedicated to The Living Christ!

I engage you to appriciate Essie Ackland' s rendition from the thirties, which is so different. Nowadays, it is a good thing to hear Barbara' s one, anyway. Essie' s voice came from such another world, another soul, She was a shepherdess. Contralto voice suits well to the subject, Oups ! I almost forgot to name our beloved Kathleen Ferrier which is also quite different about Handel' s scores, among others composers of this time. From France
