Countdown to Elijah - The Last Night

I learnt that our "Elijah" is by the name of Nathan Berg. And everybody (except the chorus XD) is trying to conserve their voices for the big event tomorrow.

Tonight's rehearsal is even more demanding than yesterday's. All the chorus members were so exhausted at the end of it, mostly from the long periods of standing up and holding the score with good posture. Gosh, I'm now re-considering if I should wear high heels for tomorrow's performance. Jokes were expectedly cracked to liven up the atmosphere, but we were engaging in a lot more of music-making today. We only managed Part One and very little of Part Two last night, so today Herr Nelson made sure we rehearsed though Part Two thoroughly. It was soon followed by a break, but Herr Nelson made use of this period of time to work with the trio (who is singing the Lift Thine Eyes number). Hence many of us decided to stay on stage to watch them rehearse. It's quite difficult really. Sang a cappella (sheesh, don't point a finger at me for spelling that word wrongly; I'm really very exhausted now), and scored for Soprano I (the "Widow"), Soprano II (a countertenor!) and Alto solo (the "Queen"). I'm awed by the fact that I get to hear a countertenor sing live in front of me! The only other countertenor I ever heard in my life is Andreas Scholl. Haha, that tells you I have very limited knowledge on singers.

I'm writing (or typing) this on my bed now; my tired feet are refusing to go in contact with the floor anymore - they are simply aching. Arrrgh... However I gave my best today, and my voice is obedient as well! Perhaps it was a wise choice that I sang through Elijah before leaving the house this evening. No cracking of voice, just full-bodied sound. Yay!

Another confession. This has been bothering me ever since this Wednesday, and still I have the impression that the tenor soloist (who sings the role of "Obadiah") looks like Zak from Desperate Housewives from where I'm standing. o_O

Tonight's rehearsal was opened to the public, and I was very touched when "Erzaehlerin" (one of my students) came to watch us! Wow, I just messaged her vaguely about it and of course didn't expect anyone I know to turn up, but voila! I only realised she was in the audience when she gave me a call after we (the chorus) were dismissed. Awww, I'm so moved. Many thanks!

Wokay, while I unpatiently wait for tomorrow evening to arrive, here the next project for our chorus. Debussy's Nocturnes in January next year. Only female chorus involved, but the score looked fun. Lots of shiny sparkling high notes, and my vocal cords love them all! Weeee... The only matter to consider is time management: I've to learn to juggle between the Nocturnes and Beethoven's Missa Solemis (next year's April) amidst my toher performances and stuff.

Oh well, Scorpios are always eager for big changes though, right? XD

Cheers!

Countdown to Elijah - Second Last Night

The rehearsal was really very, very draining. I’m quite disappointed at my performance today. The people sitting behind me were so bloody loud! Hence, when I couldn’t hear myself, I had the tendency to overstrain my voice. The result is disastrous – my voice starts to crack at my high registers. I only managed to relax my tense instrument and steadied my voice after the break (which is around 21.00 Uhr). Yep, Herr John Nelson (our guest conductor) jumped around the entire work – meaning he was rehearsing the chorus’ pieces of both Part One and Part Two in no particular order. That was actually a challenge for all singers, because our instruments (for those who have no idea what instrument I’m referring to, I meant the voice) were already adjusted to the run-through of Elijah. Switching from piece to piece randomly meant that we have to readjust and tap on our stamina. It’s a three-hour work, with no promise of an intermission between the two sections of Elijah (I guess we will only know that on the first night of performance, which is Friday), so it’s taxing in every way. And good lord, just standing throughout most of the pieces are already strenuous on us physically. I’m pondering if I should wear high heels on the performance nights. Hmm. Okay, so satisfaction only came to me after the break. Reasonable control, ringing tone present. So I was pretty “high” after the rehearsal. More like – it’s killing my energy level and pushing me to the limits, but still, it’s really fun!

And then I might as well go on to narrate some of the more note-worthy moments that took place during tonight’s rehearsal:

1) Start of the rehearsal (19.30 Uhr). The orchestral players had just return from their break, and were settling comfortable in their seats. Our “Elijah” (baritone) delivered his opening number and then the Overture followed. Herr Nelson’s signal came and the chorus members stood up in unison. All was in order, everything was taken very seriously. Our opening words “Help, Lord!”, and Herr Nelson stopped everyone almost immediately after that. Apparently the orchestra wasn’t giving enough “gusto” and “desperation” at the point of the chorus’ entrance. Herr Nelson started explaining the background of the text of Elijah to the orchestra. He started off with something like “…the people has no food, no water, no nothing! There was a three year famine, and there were dead bodies all around. The only ones who survived were probably the 170 chorus members behind you…” OMG… What a way to describe things! All of us cracked up in laughter of course! It was soooo lame… but effective. Gosh. XD

2) The soloists were great! Especially our “Elijah”. I’ll find out the exact name of the baritone soon enough when I get the programme booklet, but before that, let’s just call him “Elijah”. Why? Because he even looked his part! With his slightly long hair and the beard and all that facial hair, he just looked like some sort of biblical figure standing in benevolence amidst all of us. Wow. Speaking of being part of an oratorio. This “Elijah”, he is our prophet indeed! (Anyway, that’s how Herr Nelson introduced him to the chorus tonight. He’s like going “Choir, this [hand gesture to Mr. “Elijah”] is your prophet!”

3) The cruel Queen (the alto soloist) is also very realistic. The soloist epicted her role perfectly. In the Second Part we were all motivated by her “Slaughter him!” (him referring to Elijah) and responded angrily “Death unto the guilty prophet! So go ye forth; seize on him! He shall die!” Haha, Herr Nelson loved it, but all credit goes to the cruel Queen. I somehow feel that Elijah might deserve some credits too – in the First Part the chorus plays the role of the bad people who worshipped Baal (the “wrong” god) and was scorned by Elijah with these words “Call him louder! He [Baal] heareth not. With knives and lancets cut yourselves after your manner! Leap upon the altar ye have made! Call him, and prophesy; not a voice will answer you, none will listen; none heed you!” I felt so insulted, but separated by the front two rows of chorus members and an entire chunk of orchestral players and their instruments, the idea of rushing towards the standing-dignified “Elijah” and smacking him in the face is definitely not an option. Well, I’m not sure if the other chorus members are feeling the same emotions as I had, but if “Death unto him! He shall die!” is some way of taking “revenge” (relax, I’m just too into my role as “the people”; it’s not that I hated “Elijah” that badly) after what the prophet had said in the earlier Part One. That’s why I suggested that “Elijah” might have contributed to our Herr-Nelson-satsifying delivery of the lines. ^^

Okay, enough rumbling now. I’m sorry for blabbing so much. Must have gotten all of you confused and bored. Gomen.

Current Vokalwerk - Mendelssohn: Elijah (auf Englisch)
9 weeks + 4 days since Ed tried to grow tall *gets smacked*



Episode 11 of Monster (or did I lose count already?), and here Johann left another creepy message for Tenma. Whoa. Perfect German! That's what I primarily like about this show. I can indulge in the Japanese language while revising my German at the same time! XD XD XD
Mein lieber Dr. Tenma
Sehen Sie mich! Sehen Sie mich!
Das Monstrum in meinem Selbst ist so gross geworder!
It's proper German alright, and so Monster and Johann rule me. However, there is something about the way it was scribbled on the wall behind the painting that freaked me out. And how did Tenma knew that the message would be behind THAT painting? *brain scarred*

Proko sends me a recording of Kabalevsky's Sonate Nr. 3 later, and so I was listening my way through the 1st movt... Oh well, very cute, tralalalaaa~~~ Very Kabalevsky, so to speak ^^
I have yet to experience another shock. A few minutes after the start of the 2nd movt, I heard the unmistakened lurking of those notes A-B-C-A-D-B-C... I might have just gone mad again. It's the opening theme from Monster. And I thought enough brain-scarring had been done just now. The very motif that runs through the anime episodes, but with varied instrumentation every time. Because the 2nd movt of the Sonate was rather creepy as well, the psychological effects worked perfectly on me. Gosh, I'm so ruined by Monster. So very, very scarred (and scared).

Perhaps I should make a list of the German that appears in Monster for every episode. When I'm insane enough to do so, I'll post it here. Do look forward to it! (Or maybe it's better that you ignore my scarred soul for now. So go away, shoo...)

Gute Nacht! (Wilhelm Mueller)

Fremd bin ich eingezogen,
Fremd zieh' ich wieder aus.
Der Mai war mir gewogen
Mit manchem Blumenstrauß.
Das Mädchen sprach von Liebe,
Die Mutter gar von Eh', -
Nun ist die Welt so trübe,
Der Weg gehüllt in Schnee.

Ich kann zu meiner Reisen
Nicht wählen mit der Zeit,
Muß selbst den Weg mir weisen
In dieser Dunkelheit.
Es zieht ein Mondenschatten
Als mein Gefährte mit,
Und auf den weißen Matten
Such' ich des Wildes Tritt.

Was soll ich länger weilen,
Daß man mich trieb hinaus?
Laß irre Hunde heulen
Vor ihres Herren Haus;
Die Liebe liebt das Wandern -
Gott hat sie so gemacht -
Von einem zu dem andern.
Fein Liebchen, gute Nacht!

Will dich im Traum nicht stören,
Wär schad' um deine Ruh'.
Sollst meinen Tritt nicht hören -
Sacht, sacht die Türe zu!
Schreib im Vorübergehen
Ans Tor dir: Gute Nacht,
Damit du mögest sehen,
An dich hab' ich gedacht.

(Lied von Schubert's Winterreise)

Gute Nacht, meine Liebe!

Krankheit...bald?

Think I'm getting sick? I'm feeling very weird, and my fingers are cold. Not now, I have performances coming up!

Mahler's Symphonie Nr. 6 rawks! Too bad the performance at the Esplanade Concert Hall today didn't turn out all too well (mostly caused by the audiences >:O and their unforgivable responses) - Proko told me about that; I wasn't there, thank goodness. Listening to the recording Proko made for me (Proko is total luv) and gosh, I fell in love with Mahler again.

Lushy and sweeping warmth from the strings in the 2nd movt; same in the 4th movt. Gawd, Mahler is tragic love.

Well, back to the topic of concerts - the one I attended at the Recital Studio didn't turn out well either. The performer's presentation of Wolf's Er ist's (from his Moerike Lieder) is poo. Totally trash. I was so convinced in her rendition that Wolf had changed his nationality. Why? Total bullshit German. Wait, it wasn't even sung in German. I heard only vowels and nonsensical stuff. o_O. I'm totally disappointed. Well, don't judge that I'm putting on harsh comments here - coz I make sure I do the same. Consonants as important as vowels when singing German. And that's the beauty of the language. Text conveyed. End of story. *palmface* I can't believe a trained singer insulted German Lieder like that. That was absolutely unprofessional.

Okay, this took me around an hour to write - I was idling and suffering at the same time. Anyway, feeling better. Hope I'll recover when I wake up tomorrow. Nacht.

Tonight's Peacemaker is crack. And thus my whole neighbourhood must be having thoughts of assassinating me throughout the half-an-hour of me cracking up. Soprano remember? Trained to project voice remember? All that equals to high-pitch laughing and loud comments.

My poor neighbours.

But hey, don't look at me. I'm pushing the blame on Okita Souji-san (the cause of all these boo-hoo) and of course, the direct source of all my nuisance: Hijikata-san.

Yes, it's all YOUR FAULT. Hijikata's underwear XD XD XD. Gawd... Arrrgh, brain damage.

8 weeks + 5 days since Ed snapped his fingers o_O



The exam's over! I wanna throw the scores away, but I rather keep them. Spent too much money on them already. Gratitude for the encouragement from the people around me. *bows*

Well, everything's over. I'm free from future exams, and I want to sing tons of German Lieder! Of course I won't give up on the Italian operas; I love them as well, but Deutsch ist Liebe (German is Love). ^__________^ I'll start by stuffing myself full with the songs by Hugo Wolf, but the last composers I'll be exploring will be Strauss and Mahler... *stays far far away from them*

Frau Lim is not back from UK yet, so next week's without voice lesson. ;_; Sigh... But at least the Elijah concert will keep me and my vocal cords preoccupied for that week. After that, I want my Wolf Lieder, Mrs Lim!! Hee...

Oh yes, about the exam. Think I went flat for my traditional song (a semitone perhaps?), but I managed to hit a clear B for the Mozart aria. Guess I finally managed to redeem myself after last year's failure to hit a A. Glee. The examiner's a lady, but I think she's... er... weird? Or maybe just tired. Firstly, she asked me about the context in Das verlassene Maegdlein (Wolf's). Thank God I know German... Phew... That was unexpected. And then after I sang the Mozart operatic aria she casually asked if I liked Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro... I was taken aback, but managed to reply that it was my favourite Mozart opera, but what I was thinking at the back of my mind: "Er... The aria is from Mozart's Cosi fan tutte... Not Marriage of Figaro... *palmface*" Of course I wouldn't dare correct her. I love my exam marks more than Mozart. :P
And here comes the weirdest part - the aural section. She gave me those from Grade 7 standard and didn't notice! No wonder the listening section was so easy. It was only at the second section that she noticed something and I was already very confused. See, in Grade 7 you get to sight-sing the upper part of a phrase, and in Grade 8 it was the lower part. So when she gave me the starting note for the upper part melody, I gave this expression: o_O. Haha, I really did... I was already so bluuuuuuuuur... thanks to her... But anyway, we restarted the aural section (correct grade this time, lol) and everything went pretty well. Except the last section... I wanna crap lots but she didn't let me. Oh well. I'm a analysis-freak anyway. All the better to shut me up.

However I still have work (IFC rehearsal) in the evening, so when I came out of the exam studio I couldn't accept the fact that the exam is over. It was until when I reached home around 10.30pm that it hit me. Freedom, and frighteningly, it's also accompanied by a 'lost' feeling. Suddenly direction-less. Don't know where to go next, what to do next. That... wasn't me. Hope the pace of life will pick up tomorrow. (what crap... o_O)

Oh, lastly, I think that Monster should be banned. I was psyched out of my mind.

Selig sein...

Got back my Heimat essay from Lehrerin Annika - a 95%! Cool. I didn't expect anything like this - I was just crapping my German for three hours or less. But Franz graced my paper; yes, I made references to him and his life in general.

Sweet love...

Fantasy is nothing compared to you. What are those? Things that mock me and my intentions of escapes from reality. Du bist treue Liebe... Weil du kann mich Schmerz und Freude machen. Es kommt... von dem Herz...

Look into my eyes, meine Liebe, und siehst du - Traene von meinem Schmerz und Lust gibt es. Alles... Alles sind fuer dich... Und alles sind von dir...

Kanashimi no namida wo koete...

Und ich fuehle mich sehr selig.

Piano lessons resumed - after roughly a month! Whoa. But Lehrerin seems in a good mood today. Lots of jokes and laughter: I messed up my alternation of hands in Debussy, gawd... Haha... And apparently I was too consumed in the turn of things currently, concerts, the upcoming exam and all, so I was already mentally (or was it physically? Hmm...) drained before lesson. The result? My fingers gave up on me in the midst of the middle agressive part of Proko's Sonate... And Lehrerin laughed! =_=;;; Oh man, was that embarressing ^^

Rushed over to Frau Lim's place - I had left my sooooooooo-important score at her place after voice lesson (and I only realised it this afternoon... I'm...such...a failure...). Darn my frazzled brain... And I gotta get to Orchard before six plus in the evening...

The weight of all things happening is taking its toll on me. Yet I must, must survive before my exam is over. I must survive... I have put in so much effort... And I cannot break down. But to relief stress a little, Kino(kuniya) is my haven. Ooooh... All those manga - just the look of them all takes away bits of my burden. Haha, now I know the real reason behind my anime-manga craze. Escapement.

The rehearsal with Tomiko-chan is unexpectedly great! And there I was worrying about her rushing tempo and all last night when it turned out well today. Even my voice is pretty rich today - without warm-ups, mind you. Apart from my memory lapse - I can't seem to recall the lyrics sometimes! Scheisse! - everything went fine. A load off my mind. Phew... And now I'm starting to get confident... But that is, if I managed to fix my sight-singing and ESPECIALLY, the aural section, right in time...

Okay, okay... Run, run away from reality now!! Just watched Monster (second episode on cable), and it really, really look promising! I even got scared... Stupid Johann, and his sister... They kept staring at me. I COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT. Man, it was scary, especially when you watch stuff like that after midnight... o_O Freeeeeeeeeeeeeaked out... Uuurrrgh... But the suspense was like... wow... Real impressive. Might be addicted to it. Just watch me.

*blinks*

Numbness from the last three fingers of my right hand?! What have I done this time? I just merely switched the order of the pieces I occasionally plonged on... Namely, Prokofiev before Debussy. And now this :(

Shimata... Usou...!

Whatever... And the exam's round the corner, and I'm still not motivated enough to practice my aural... Arrrgh... I hate myself... I will so totally screw up the first section again. I guess the only thing I'll ever be good at is sight-singing...

The D.N. Angel song still rawks, but I'm also beginning to accept the strange harmonies in Alphonse Elric's orchestrated version of Ame no Yume something something. Arrrgh... I should have paid more attention to the title. Was it Mukou or Basho at the end? *ponders* *then gives up* Okay, I'm not going to care. Unless Edward gives me the answer on the behalf his bro or something. *shrugs*

And my RW corrupted my Shaman King Omake!! Bad bad RW. Awfully pissed. But I got the three Ayashi no Ceres OST in return. Okay, that's fair then. Can't wait for my Last Exile OST - that's the real treat!! ^^

Vierundzwanzigste Nacht???? seit Alchimie mich gegessen hat - haha, I stopped reading on Alchemy since my upcoming concerts are killing me enough, not to mention...transmuting my brain into nothingness...



Addicted to D.N. Angel's Michishirube. Regretted not searching for this song since the time I was accquainted to the anime (which was like 2 years ago?! ._______.)
It was played over my hifi for hours (since I was stuck in my room when the people came over to fix the kitchen windows -_-;;;) and then was it stuck to my brain, before AND after tonight's SSC rehearsal at the Esplanade Concert Hall.

Speaking of which, I misssssssssssed the Concert Hall. Esplanade Concert Hall is love. Don't argue with me how the acoustics might suck (I already heard about the miscalculations of some of the design. Sound engineering... Geeesh...) or how pricey the tickets are. Vergessen Sie das nicht!! Kimochi~~~~ Kimochi desu!!

Okay, I'm spent after today's piano practice marathon (I went through an entire round of Saint Saens, Liszt, Estampes and Prokofiev. It's a miracle my head's not broken yet) and tonight's rehearsal.

And today's weather is freezing.
Me feet freezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzing. Me brain too.
But me no mind same weather.
Me go sleep.

Give thanks...

Just recieved the 80MB recording of Liszt - Eine Faust-Symphonie in drei Charakter-bildern (nach Goethe) (Original version) from dear Proko!!

A big Sankyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ for him!
Plus a glompful of huggies for him as well...
Some credits goes to my obedient connection today, auch.

I have no idea how much I love Franz's Faust Symphony until I listened to it again.

*sighs*
*blushes*

Yes, these are my reaction to the very first motif announced by the orchestra... My gosh... My Franz is such a genius. Whomever said he was just a pianist?!

Ich liebe sie, die Symphonie fantastisch ist! Ich liebe es, das Werk wunderbar ist! Und ich liebe dich, ewig!
