Mem. to self

Handel's "Ombra Mai Fu" is very pretty, but you don't need more than six versions of a song to a plane tree. Stop it now.

That was one of the required songs in the voice 1 class I took a few years back. It's pretty, but the long pause at the beginning is hard; I was always afraid I was going to time it wrong and come in too early or too late.

It sounds as if it might be hard to sing - I've done some singing over the years and coming in was often a problem.
