How to Sing Lascia Ch'io Pianga by Handel

Sing Handel's Lascia Ch'io Pianga from the opera Rinaldo with my step-by-step tutorial for singers. In this singing lesson for beginners to more advanced students, you will learn how to pronounce the Italian words, where to breathe and how to shape the vocal phrases. Then join me for the final singalong with lyrics and singing tips.
It was used in the films "Antichrist" and "Farinelli" and is a very poignant piece for anyone who has ever felt homesick, or trapped in a situation they feel they can't control. I sang it at a concert earlier this year which was all about our feelings about what "home" means to us.

This aria is regarded as a masterpiece, reflecting the artistic pinnacle of vocal classics. When I actually listen to it, it reminds me of a certain serial drama. Its ability to evoke memories or associations with a television drama illustrates the profound impact that visual media can have on our perception of music. The power of television to influence and alter our emotional response to music is indeed formidable, demonstrating that music transcends mere sound to become a catalyst for powerful emotions and memories.

It is a stunning piece - small, yet absolutely perfectly formed. All its parts contribute to the perfect whole, every note and chord carefully curated by a truly great composer. 😁🎶

Lovely video! Thank you for putting these beautiful arias in a lower key. I have to sing soprano all the time (choir) but am really a mezzo and I thought this was out of reach. 🌹

Well done. I'm Peter from FL USA and this is one of my favorite arias. I'm not a professional singer, but love t sing along. Interesting that my fav composer in Tchaikovsky, but enjoy melodic and full orchestration music including arias for tenors or sopranos. I enjoyed your class very much. It would be nice if you could teach a lesson on Ombra mai fu!

Handel used the same melody ( to a sarabande dance rhythm) in his earlier composition "The triumph of time and truth" but to a different set of words "Lascia la spina prendi la rosa" - which means "take the rose but leave the thorn.' The same composition includes another one of Handel's most sublime tunes - right at the end "Tu dal ciel ministro eletto".

He was the King of Recycling! Most church musicians had to recycle in order to meet the weekly mass deadline. I love Handel's duets which use his Messiah tunes. 😅🎶

This is so helpful. Your teaching methods are marvelous. I do have a question about the vowels. I am beginning to get a nice round tone on most of the vowels but the “eh” sound just doesn’t sound good. Any hints for working on this? Thank you for all you do.

@singingtips1 7 ай бұрын

Hey there! So glad you're finding the videos helpful. I'm guessing you mean "eh" as in the open "e" in words like "bed" and "men"? It could be that your mouth shape is a bit too wide. Try singing an "ooh" on one note, and slowly transitioning to an "eh" sound whilst maintaining the "ooh" mouth shape. Hopefully, you'll find a sound for the "eh" which you'll like better. Let me know how you get on! 😀

Bonjour Anne-Marie. La bonne nouvelle est que vous pouvez facilement changer la langue des sous-titres. Lorsque vous les allumez, ils sont automatiquement en anglais. Accédez à l'icône des paramètres ⚙️ et vous pourrez y changer la langue. J'espère que cela vous aidera à tirer le meilleur parti de mes vidéos. Merci de chanter avec moi! 😁🎶

Well, yes....BUT avoiding the hard "G" on a beat which could accidentally be emphasized when sung is critical (for me, where beauty is paramount). I've listened to so many singers, and find the soft G (as in "sing") so much more appealing, and musically superior. This is also how I have been coached in opera houses, and it's actually hard to find recordings of professional singers using a hard G in this context. Phonetically, I'm using sɪŋ as in "sing" quite deliberately. I'm always happy to be proved wrong as I'm certainly not infallible...but on this particular "G" , we might have to agree to differ! 😁🎶❤️
