How Beautiful... are midrange notes!

This is the other piece that I am singing for the Easter Vigil Mass. I had never heard it before the Music Director assigned it to me on Sunday.  

From what I can see, "How Beautiful" by Twila Paris is a famous song! There are tons of versions of it on Musescore. But I am not going to learn the piano part this time. The accompaniment doesn't feel very interesting. Even if I loved it, I am starting to run short on practice time! This will be one of the few performance pieces where I will just learn the vocal line. 

It is a great warmup! Tons of half notes and whole notes, all in midrange. There are no pyrotechnics in this piece. I will sing it straight, as per the Director. And that is ok! Sometimes, less is more. I will trust that my voice will craft something lovely during this equivalent of an on-rails shooter.
