o légère hirondelle

Sumi Jo is fantastic, so light and bright, like the bird she is singing about!
This 'valse ariette' was not entirely sung by the sweet Korean soprano,Hye Myung Kang who was Mireille yesterday at Marseilles opera house. It is optional and written for Marie Miolan-Carvalho
The bright and light coloratura embroidery is here fantastic

"Valse ariette':
"O légère hirondelle,
Messagère fidèle,
Vers mon ami vole gaiement
Et conte-lui mon doux tourment!
Parle-lui pour moi-même
Et dis-lui que je l'aime
Vincent peut croire à mon serment !
Vole, vole gaiement!"
