can you guess where I was?
Honestly, I never have a single choir concert like yesterday. Victoria Concert Hall was the memorable place for 51 of us. We had practised for more than 6 months to prepare this concert even though in the midst of this 6 months there are many things to do like the performances for the christmas carol and choir camp. Let's imagine, twice practices in a week. I am sure you will think this is such a hectic week. When the concert was nearer, the practices were almost everyday.
Here is CANTEMUS 2007, Vox Populi (Voice of the People)
Finally, it is over. This is my choir yesterday. I really enjoyed it even though I still forget some dances and few notes. One thing I could learn from that concert was we have only one chance in our life. I really felt that when firstly we sang, we had only one chance and about how we hold the note. Huh....
Here are the songs we sang and about the songs we sang.
1. Medley of Samba Ya and La Cucaracha
Samba Ya is the Brazilian folk song and La Cucaracha is the Mexican song.
2. Byssan Lull
A Swedish song ( Lullaby )
This song told about the journey of 3 wanderers to meet Jesus Christ.
This is my favourite song.
3. Mein Kleiner Gruner Kaktus ( My Little Green Cactus )
German Song which tells about cactus. ( FYI, I didn't fully memorized this song.
How can I remember because basses only sing Bom....bom....bom...
4. Vecherniy Zvon ( Evening Bells )
A Russian song about the love of a citizen to his country.
There was a soloist when we sang this song.
5. Veniki
A russian folk song about brooms ( the lyrics are weird but the song is nice )
6. Cha Shan Qing Ge ( A Love Song from the Tea Hill )
I didn't sing this song because this is for the students from PRC.
7. Kerraban Sape ( Bull Racing )
Traditional song of Madura island (Indonesia).
The Indonesian NTU students sang this.
We used the traditional bull bells also and played it in the middle of the song.
8. Asa Yueni ( Because of The Morning )
A Japanese song which was specially created for NTU choir by Ko Matsushita.
When we sang this song, the conductor said, " It was so sharp ". We were sad.
