May you all spend a happy festive season, whatever way you enjoy to have it.
Here is a little music as a gift from me to you - Gounod's Ave Maria.
The link to the full-screen video is here. You'll need to click on the square in the bottom-right corner of the video to go full screen.
ETA: for those of you who can't open the video above, I just uploaded it to YouTube (slightly lower quality).
My fantastic brother was accompanying me on the cello - he created the accompaniment based on the organ's score. You can also see my two dear sisters in the background.
Please don't be hard on me. The sound is a bit off because the camera sometimes caught the echo in the chapel instead of my voice. Hence my hesitation to post this as it is SO imperfect - it took me almost 5 months to have the guts... but I thought it would be on Christmas Eve or never!
Hope you enjoy this gift to you, friends.
Happy Christmas to you all!! Thank you for everything you have brought me this year. I am so grateful to many of you.
Joyeux Noël, mes amis.

Mon air préféré... Quel talent !
Merci :)
J'espère que tu as passé de joyeuses fêtes
Merci mille fois pour ce cadeau merveilleux!! Magnifique!
Oh Isabelle, I finally took some time to watch this video while I'm at home by myself and I am amazed at how incredible your voice is! You're range is truly impressive. You belted out those high notes flawlessly and yet still covered the low ones, as well. Truly well done!
