Introducing, "An Afternoon Melodie" a small concert series I had the pleasure of curating earlier this year. The concept was modest, born from simple desires; commission a select group of vocalists to sing grand music in the resplendent atmosphere of a salon belonging to a theatre with a rich history spanning over centuries past (circa 1921') whilst I accompanied them.

Opening this series is the radiant Damaria Quick with a piece entitled "Alguien cantó" popularised by Matt Monro. When I approached her about this project, she came to me with this gem of a song, which until then, I had never encountered. What piqued my interest was that this song had Spanish lyrics. I began working on the accompaniment and immediately was enraptured by the haunting melody floating ethereally over a fog of lush chords. Wanting to delve deeper, I ventured into researching more on this song and discovered that it was originally in German! Titled "Was Ich Dir Sagen Will" by Udo Jürgens and Joachim Fuchsberger, it was later translated into Spanish by Leonardo Schultz and made popular a year later by Matt Monro. It has been performed and translated into over 9 languages. What a history! But I digress, Happy listening to the first instalment of this very special series.
