One of my favorite songs in the "Godspell" score is the haunting "By My Side," which is in the second half of the show, and which I not sure if Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the rest of the show, was the composer of. But the melody, and vocal blending, when you have good voices to blend, can be haunting and deeply moving.
Now, the kids in the above photo are older--this was a "Godspell" done at Fordham Prep. so the kids are well into their teens. But listen to the lead here. She starts out on a note where you think she is going to ruin this song, then, somewhere around "Far beyond, where the horizons lie.........." out comes the most mature voice you would not suddenly expect from a teenage kid!!!!!!!!!! It is just amazing!
The singer in question is Elizabeth Vuksanaj. Her back up is Josephine Nguyen.
I regret I could not include this video on here. But, if you go to YouTube, and type in "By My Side," "Godspell," Fordham Prep, you can listen and judge for yourselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this was done, sometime, back in 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just fabulous, girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
