Gabriella Snyder: Composer & Singer
I've started learning Spanish. So a few months ago I decided to try out a program of Spanish songs at a soiree hosted by Mary Jane Rupert, harpist and pianist. You can listen on Soundcloud.com: Cucurrucucú Paloma by Thomas Mendez Sosa, La Paloma by Sebastián Yradier, and Júrame by Maria Grever.
Click here for an audio file of a recent work: Dance for Orchestra: Theme & Variations (Soundcloud.com) I have been reworking this idea for a few decades and am pleased to have this emerge.
Click here for a recording of French opera arias (YouTube) I performed with pianist Mary Jane Rupert for The Beethoven Society of Melrose on Oct. 28, 2023: "Faites-lui mes aveux" from Gounod's Faust, "Ah! mon fils!" from Meyerbeer's Le Prophète, "Connais-tu le pays?" from Ambroise Thomas' Mignon, and "Adièu, forêts" from Tchaikovsky's "The Maid of Orleans". The concert opened with pianist Sumin Kang performing Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique. Our performance of the arias starts at 18'.
Click here for the performance (YouTube) of "Olivet to Calvary" by John Henry Maunder; my also solo starts at 23'15". April 2, 2023 at the First Baptist Church of Malden, MA with combined choirs from eleven churches, under the direction of Rosalind Mohnsen.
I am a composer & singer, writing music in the operatic, classical and folk traditions. I hope you enjoy discovering my Christmas recording of folk & traditional songs, Ancient Christmas - Songs & Carols, my operas/music dramas, Prince of Peace - A Passion Play and The Rough-Face Girl: An Algonquin Cinderella, and my classical songs and choral pieces.
I look forward to hearing from you with any questions, feedback or requests. Thanks! Gabriella

Here's a YouTube video of myself performing Pied Beauty, my setting of the poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins: (sheet music for solo and 2-part chorus available at sheetmusicplus.com. https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/pied-beauty-digital-sheet-music/20793049)
Glory be to God for dappled things,
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced - fold, fallow, and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.
All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.
