Based on a poem by GarcÌa Lorca's beloved RosalÌa de Castro, L˙a Descolorida was inspired by Dawn Upshaw's rainbow of a voice. It is a quietly luminous song with a sinuous vocal line full of slow melismas and gently syoncopated phrases over a slowly moving piano part...For a soprano with many colors in her voice and ease in soft, floating singing, this would be a wonderful choice.--Journal of Singing |
