Ah what a beautiful post! Your voice is haunting. The funeral dirge is such an ancient human custom, cutting across a very wide swathe of disparate cultures. Interesting to hear the term "appoggiaturas", was not familiar with it but intuitively I know this concept to be true. BTW as I type this, my one year old is sitting next to me listening to you sing and he just started singing along :)
I wish you good luck in your quest to find and record the saddest songs! This kinda feels like someone should make a documentary about you and this process as well.
