Introduction

I continue to sing musical songs as a hobby.

With various events in my life

That always gives me peace and vitality in my heart.

I will introduce those songs,

Which were performed in regular mini concerts,

And sometimes concerts at live house.

Thanks to a cheerful teacher,

a reliable accompaniment pianist,

and energetic classmates

No.1 “All the Things You Are “

Lyrics: Oscar Hammerstein

Composition: Jerome Kern

“VERY WARM FOR MAY” 1939

Feelings for the song

This is the first musical song I worked on,

I still love this standard number,

Also

One of the most difficult assignment songs

I’ve ever worked on.

The musical performance itself was considered a blunder,

The reason is said to be difficult.

Probably in the middle of World War II

The tastes were not natural on Broadway

The lyrics are energetic and esoteric,

In the season of spring

These words remind me

the crush I held when I was young.

And the melody

Require sweet expression.

However, my expression is

Far from the image

Somewhere stiff

Unlike the Italian songs I’ve learned so far,

This song teach me the difficulty to express

the heart of the musical songs in the lyrics

It was a bitter departure.

I could get to know this song by

Album of baritone singer Thomas Hampson.

His shiny singing voice always calms the mind.

I’m said to be a high baritone vocal range.

Baritone’s true vocal range like Thomas Hampson

I’m always longing for it.

Lyrics

Time and again I’ve longed for adventure

Something to make my heart beats the faster

What did I long for?

I never really knew.

Finding your love I’ve found my adventure

Touching your hand, my heart beats the faster

All that I want in

All of this world is you.

You are the promised kiss of springtime

That makes the lonely winter seem long

You are the breathless hush of evening

That trembles on the brink of a lovely song

You are the angel glow that lights a star

The dearest things I know are what you are

Some day my happy arms will hold you

And some day I’ll know that moment divine

When all the things you are, are mine
