About This Song
About "Roméo et Juliette, CG 9: Juliet's Waltz Song" by David Parry
Gounod's Juliet's Waltz Song spins with girlish exuberance, coloratura flights soaring over a lilting orchestral waltz. Parry captures the thrill of first love, the music bright and buoyant. Yet the dizzying vocal leaps hint at the tragedy to come, joy shadowed by fate's cruel hand.
