In Song

Yesterday marked the end of months of chorale practices. "20 Years, In Song". Although i only joined chorale for less than 1 year, i could feel the spirit and bonding of the members. Its been fun in chorale overall, all the practices, the rehearsals. Although i dont really socialise much with the chorale ppl, like going for dinners and stuff, i enjoyed every bit of the singing with them. Thank you VC for all that we've gone through!:) I really look forward to the next event which is most probably caroling. Will be missing out on the upcoming carmina thingy.

As for the concert yesterday, i felt that it was pretty fine. I mean i could feel "together since" coming alive, literally due to some kind of intangible pressure exerted by the composer?? Its like OMG, he's here, so lets sing it well to show that VC can make "eccentric" songs sound nice :D haha. Yup, but i do have to agree that VC is a more expressive choir. Lux and Sleep were definitely nice with the lighting. And i think the singing was nice too. Thank you kenny and ben for the lightings ya! Not to forget this special group of people who have been behind-the-scenes toiling hard. My gratitude to those who made the concert possible! PS. the broken light bulb an exception? lol:)

Now for some personal evaluation, i felt that my singing wasn't up to expectations. I think i should stop dithering on having voice lessons. I just have this instinct that my fundamentals are flawed somewhere, esp in my breathing technique and my support. I know roughly where are my problems, but am not able to rectify them. Ok, enough on this less optimistic para :)

Moving on, i've realised that my weekends are much more free now that chorale practices have come to a temporary halt. More time to go out with friends, friends whom i've lost touch for quite some time. As for now, i'm anticipating the recordings and photos of In Song!

Eh on a last note, I still prefer the traditional version of No Man Is An Island. No Man+In Song is no doubt acceptable, and is in fact an interesting departure from the normal flavour of "on-calls", but the sentimental value of No Man can never be erased.

No Man Is An Island, No Man Stands Alone.
