Hi Molly and all others,

yes that 'damn line' is quite good ;-) I admit it.
As for the mezzo soprano - I think she's still more 'alto', but it's hard to judge as she sings most songs in a range of 1 1/2 octaves, so you don't really hear where the voice begins and ends. But I have the feeling that the end note on "me" in "The Lark" is about the lowest note that she can sing easily. A real alto should maybe get some lower ones...

And Cyparissa: well I think that the Elfin Knight is one of the tracks on the album that actually have a strong instrumental part - and one of the weakest, lyrically speaking. I mean, come on, that's really lalala ;-)
I didn't speak of instrumental tracks like tunes or something, only of the instrumental parts and bits in the songs. For me something like that doesn't draw my attention away from the lyrics, it's a welcome break in between intense listening and can (when played as inspired as from "the boys") only add to the listening pleasure.

I listened to it again yesterday and can only repeat myself that I absolutely love "Jack Frost". That's really pure and lovely and although I have no idea of the film, I have my own little images in my head from the song... And the language (the trees "upped"), that's nice...
Maybe she should do a record for kids with newly written and traditional songs. I'm sure I'd like it.

Best
Lea
