"Singing beautiful melodies is one thing, but to deliver the text so that the people understand it, even in a foreign language, has to be worked at very hard"

About this Quote

This quote by Maureen Forrester talks to the value of providing a tune's lyrics in such a way that is reasonable to the listener. Singing beautiful melodies is an important part of a tune, but it is not enough to make a song truly fantastic. To genuinely record the listener's attention, the lyrics need to be delivered in such a way that is clear and reasonable. This is particularly true when singing in a foreign language, as the listener may not be familiar with the language. To do this, the vocalist should work hard to ensure that the pronunciation and delivery of the lyrics is clear and accurate. By doing this, the singer can guarantee that the listener can comprehend the message of the tune, regardless of the language.
