The Desert Song in concert

[morwen9]

As almost anyone can tell, I'm a huge fan of the operetta The Desert Song. So I thought, wouldn't it be kind of cool if Celtic Woman did The Desert Song with a bunch of guest stars (including yours truly in the role of Clementina?) Jonathan Ansell and Meav would sing Pierre and Margot. And plus I would get to sing with CW!

The pieces which would be performed:

Act 1

Overture (David Downes, drummers, flute/oboe players. Trumpeters. Mairead's fiddle/violin)

Opening Chorus (male chorus and soloist (tenor) )

The Riff Song(Jonathan Ansell, male chorus and tenor soloist)

Margot (male soloist and chorus)

Entrance of Azuri (Instrumental, Musicians)

I'll Be a Bouyant Girl (Alex Sharpe)

Why Did We Marry Soldiers (female chorus)

French Military Marching Song (Meav and Chorus)

Then You Will Know(JA/MNM)

I Want A Kiss (male soloist, JA, MNM)

It (male soloist, AS)

The Desert Song (JA, MNM)

Finale Act 1/Azuri's Dance/Soft As A Pigeon Lights (Musicians, Mairead, chorus and male soloist)

Act II

My Little Castagnette (Anne Ching, female chorus)

The Song Of The Brass Key (Anne Ching, male soloist (bass) and female chorus)

Spanish Dance (Musicians, AC and dancers)

SOTBK Reprise (AC, MNM)

One Good Boy Gone Wrong (AC, male soloist (baritone))

Concerted Number (Eastern and Western Love) "Let Love Go", "If One Flower Grows Alone In Your Garden", "One Alone" (JA, male soloist (tenor), male soloist (bass))


The Sabre Song (MNM)

Farewell Scene (JA and male chorus)

All Hail To The General (AS, MNM, and female chorus)

Let's Have A Love Affair (AS, male baritone soloist and female chorus)

Finale (Singers and Musicians)

The costumes would resemble those from the stage musical.

Basically that song list is the complete score.

Triple-posted by mistake. Could someone please delete the extra threads? Thanks.

Hi Anne.
Have a look at the top right hand side of your post.

The word "delete" is there , ONLY if you are "Logged in"

Just click it and it will allow you ( for up to 24 hours) to delete your own post.

I have been reading your posts, but sometimes I don't have time to give you a considered reply, Some of the links you give us are to very old and distorted recordings, I have a touch of tinnitus and the distortion causes the loose bits to rattle about in my ears and the large volume of empty space in my head

I hope you are practicing your singing while you are writing your lengthy posts ..

You will need to be on the ball when you perform with Celtic Woman.

Practice, record, listen, practice again.. Best wishes from the land of Celtic women

Thanks for that, comet. I hadn't seen that before. Whenever I accidentally make double- or triple-postings, I'll use that.

Also, I consider my friend Lucy to be the luckiest person I know (she's the one I posted about in the Something interesting thread.) for obvious reasons.
