De'Lon Grant sings "Come raggio di sol"

De'Lon Grant sings "Come raggio di sol" from ‘24 Italian Songs & Arias,’ the classic Schirmer songbook originally published in 1894. For many singers throughout the world, their journey as a musician and the process of finding one’s artistic voice starts with this songbook. The ‘24 Italian Songs & Arias (& Voices)’ project explores this starting point and the voices that were developed beyond it. En route to collecting 24 versions of the 24 classics, we are interested in hearing about the journeys of their singers. Some will be stories of success, some of failure, and some of the gloriously messy in-betweens. We also invite you to submit your own versions and your own stories, demonstrating this shared starting point and its potential far beyond our expectations. We want to know how the journey of singing engages one’s voice — personal, artistic, and political — and how these voices can come together in new and meaningful ways. Visit 24italiansongs.org to read about the experiences of each performer and submit your own version. #24ItalianSongs
