in.harmoNY 2010: Beauty and the Beast (An Adaptation)

2010-03-29T22:12:00.002+08:00

In succession with its repository of achievements in choral competitions,this year, Nanyang Junior College Choir will be showcasing their vocal verve in their upcoming concert in.harmoNY, following a two year hiatus since AbsoMUSIClutely in 2008. In 2010, NYJChoir entered a new chapter under the tutelage of renowned local choral conductor, Mr. Terrence Toh. 2010 NYJConcert, in.harmoNY, means two things; one- the dissonance of the chords of a piece and, two- the esprit de corps in NYJChoir. The now 80-strong Nanyang Junior College Choir has improved since its last public appearance ,presenting to you the motifs and choral techniques in genres of folklore and Walt Disney’s enamouring Beauty and the Beast production. The production is set to transport you into a heritage expanse, featuring the energy of a lineup of folklore opuses such as Sik sik si batu manikam. Under the sterling artistic direction of Mr. Terrence Toh, the choir will employ their choral finesse and present the audience with their own rendition of the Beauty and the Beast.

We extend our invitation to you to luxuriate in the melodic voices of the Nanyang Junior College Choir on 22nd May 2010, 7.30 p.m. at Victoria Concert Hall. Tickets to a concert can be obtained from your friendly NYJC chorister for $12(stall seats) and $15(circle seats).

Sleep

2010-02-13T11:00:00.002+08:00

The evening hangs beneath the moon
A silver thread on darkened dune
With closing eyes and resting head
I know that sleep is coming soon

Upon my pillow, safe in bed
A thousand pictures fill my head
I cannot sleep my minds a flight
And yet my limbs seem made of lead

If there are noises in the night
A frighting shadow, flickering light
Then I surrender unto sleep

Where clouds of dreams give second sight

What dreams may come both dark and deep

Of flying wings and soaring leap

As I surrender unto sleep
As I surrender unto sleep

This piece is by the brilliant Eric Whitacre.

Enjoy :)

O Magnum Mysterium

2010-02-13T10:48:00.004+08:00

O Magnum Mysterium is a responsorial chant from the Matins of Christmas. This version is by Francis Poulenc.

Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc (January 7, 1899 - January 30, 1963) was a French composer and a member of the French group Les Six. He composed music in genres, including art song, chamber music, oratorio, opera, ballet music, and orchestral music. Critic Claude Rostand, in a July 1950 Paris-Presse article, described Poulenc as "half monk, half delinquent" ("le moine et le voyou"), a tag that was to be attached to his name for the rest of his career.

Latin text

O magnum mysterium,
et admirabile sacramentum,
ut animalia viderent Dominum natum,
jacentem in praesepio!
Beata Virgo, cujus viscera
meruerunt portare
Dominum Christum.
Alleluia.

English translation

O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the new-born Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the Virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
Christ the Lord.
Alleluia!

Enjoy :)

Don't fall into eternal sleep.

Heyhey Choir!

Okay, here's Sleep by Eric Whitacre. This is the song that Mr Toh mentioned on friday that we may possibly learn, so do take some time to listen alright! Remember, in a quiet environment and not when everyone's like blasting the stereo/playing mahjong or blah. Lol!

Oh yes, just a reminder to also memorise your Iddem Dem (Okay stop laughing at me! D:) and Paparazzi (for the girls. For everyone, just do a quick revision on the choreo alright!)

See you guys on tuesday!

♥Jes

Why is the blog so dead?? :(

2009-07-17T01:23:00.002+08:00

Hey guys,

Kinda realised that this blog has been really quite dead huh. Maybe I should post up something up whenever I find some interesting choral stuff for you guys to check out. :) And maybe you all should do it too!

So here's my input for now. Everyone's heard of the virtual choir project that Eric Whitacre's doing? Well he has completed his FIRST piece! It's entitled Sleep. Not sure how many of ya'll are well versed with Eric Whitacre's pieces or know about he himself. Do some googling and youtubing. I'm pretty sure you guys would love it. :)

Anyways, here's the virtual choir version of Sleep.

If you're interested to take part in his next virtual choir piece, do check out for yourselves ya. If I'm not wrong his next piece is going to be Lux Aurumque. Another really beautiful piece. :)

Hope you guys enjoyed this.

G Cheow.
