CHOIRMASTER & HARANGKING:

Kamusta ang Vespers performance ninyo? Maganda ba? May nagrecord ba ng performance? Padalhan nyo naman kami ni Johnvianney ditrels.

Ang Johnvianney nga pala eh fafly ditrels and magwawatch kami ng last performance ni Lea S. dahil closing time na ang Miss Saigon sa Jan. 28, sa Jan. 25 kami nagwawatch. O diba, from west to east coast ang drama para lang magwatch ng broadway show. Okay naman dahil nakagetch pa kami ng orchestra seats. At next month eh mgkikita na naman kami sa New Orleans for the Mardi Gras. Ang makamundong buhay nga naman dito sa Amerika. Ipagdasal na wag magkacalamity sa New Orleans at majority ng populasyon ng kabadingan eh magpaparty duon! :)

May naborrow akong cd sa NY Public Library, parang chorale works of students of Messiaen. Feel mo ba yan? Irerecord ko for you kung feel mo.

O, syaron cuneta. Unya ulit.

HELLO BOCCELLI:

Haaayyyy... kafederasyon din!?!?!

Oo nga, sayang hindi pa tayo magkakilala eh di sana eh kajoin ka na rin namin sa Febrero. Anong university choir ka ba galing at anong period ka kajoin sa choir mo? Are you in Chicago right now?

Also, I don't know which Virgin Records you were referring to in one of your posts but the Virgin Records here in Manhattan (the one in Times Square, I think yun ang pinakamalaki, hindi ba?) eh okay lang ang chorale selection. Come to think about it, hindi ko naman pala alam ang mga chorale cds na hinahanap ninyo.

When I was checking the CD stores here in NYC kasi, I was always looking for a CD recording of the Swedish Radio Choir because according to CHOIRMASTER, they are the best Prefessional Choir in the world (may isa pang reason kung bakit Swedish Radio choir lang ang hanap ko pero napakaraan na yun so hindi na dapat banggitin... CHINKY, ikanga ni HARANGKING). But since may PCC na, baka second na lang ang Swedish Radio Choir. CHARING!!!!

O, Zsa-zsa padilla, till next thread.

[Boccelli]

Hey Dina Sumising

I was part of the De La Salle University Chorale since 95-99 so kasama ako nung nagtour sila nung 99.

Anyhooo, yes i was talking about that Virgin Records.. yung nagmumura ang sign nila!

By the way... ANG GALING NG PCC!!!!! Grabe daw sa galing!!!

To put it in the words of a friend of mine who watched.. the PCC sounds like the Best European Choir(eastern man o western) with a Filipino flare... BIBO Ever!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TO CHOIRMADER!!!

Ang galing daw talaga.. **** parang gusto ko na tuloy magpakamatay dahil hindi ko napanood!!!

Anyhooo again, si Fidel daw eh nasa NYC!

Favor naman Dina oh.. can you get me a couple of beads from Mardi Gras....

please.. pretty please with matching cresc. na obligato!

FOR THE SUPREME DIVAS AND DIVOS of Philippine Choral Music,
sino na ang nakakakilala sa OREYA Choir? Well, kasi nakakawindang ang tunog nila.. sabi nung friend ko yung PCC daw ganung ganon ang tunog pero mas magaling kasi may emotion at drama.

GALING TALAGA!!!

[choirmaster]

DINA SUMISING: As usual, ni-record ko siya sa minidisc, and as usual, pumalpak na naman ang recording ko. Pumuputok at sumasabog sa fortississimos. Pag hininaan mo ang rec level, wala namang marinig halos. E hindi nahinaan ng kapatid ko ang rec level, so sabog ang buong recording, not to mention the malikot na bata na nasa harap; ano naman ang ginagawa ng isang bata sa Rachmaninoff Vespers?! Sana iniwan na lang sa bahay... Sorry, siguro mas maganda ang video ekk na nirecord ni Binky ekk at si Dan Cura ang nagtake...

BOCCELLI: Ano ba yan, trans-Pacific ang reviews! Sino ba yang kaibigan mong nanuod? Kaloka...

MONTEVERDI: At last, nagkita na rin tayo... may utang pa yata ako sa yong Xmas gift...

Went to TOWER Records FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER... sa Glorietta ekk... buyola ng Robert Shaw ekk na with the Barber Agnus Dei and Arvo Part Magnificat... haven't listened to it yet. Delikado akong pumunta dun, mauubos ang datung ko!

CHOIRMASTER: Laos na naman ang recording? Aba'y mother, dapat eh magrent na kayo ng recording outfit na magrerecord ng inyong mga performances so when you perform again or perform abroad eh merong kayong CDs na maibebenta at mapagkakakitaan pa yan. Pakisabi naman kay Binky and Kuya Dan (ijoin na rin kay kay Tita Aileen) na I am begging for a copy of the performance nang masilayan ko naman ang mga feztival ng PCC at nang malait ang mga walang emote sa pagkanta! Charito Solis!!! At nalowka ako sa batang nanood ng Vespers... true ka dyan! Anong ginagawa ng isang bata sa concert ng Rachmaninoff Vespers or kahit ano pang concert ng PCC. Baka anak ng isang miyembro na walang mapagiwanan sa balay???? Charing na naman.

BOCCELLI: Dela Salle Chorale ka pala. You know what? I haven't heard you guys perform but I remember JohnnyBeBad telling me before na maganda raw ang tunog ninyo. Yung isang member na kasama ko sa Chopa eh jumoin sa choir ninyo pero hindi nagserious, busy kasi sa Chopa. Surely Fuentes, BEADS lang pala ang request mo, no problem. Gegetch ako ng bonggang beads for you.

MAMA!!! Shempre ngayon lang ulit ako naka-Internet at ngayon ko lang nakita yung tinutukoy mong post. Sino ba talaga ang nagchizmax sa ** nun? Hay, kebs na. Peace na kami (kasi naman _____?!) . About the second part nung message, mukhang nabalitaan ko na. Natanong ko yata yun nung nag-usap tayo kagabi at kinonfirm mo (kung yun nga yun) ... yung alam na ni lola. :) Kung bahala ako at getsch ko... related ba ito dun sa nabalitaan ko? Mukhang getsch ko. Pero yung iniisip ko nga ba ang ibig mong sabihin?

O sha! Balik na muna ako dun sa mga Ernest Hemingway ek ko. Ngarag!!!

[choirmaster]

DINA SUMISING: Rent a recording outfit?! Nasisiraan ka na ba ng bait? Alam mo namang zero money ang PCC... nagkaroon lang ng costumes after two years of existence!... enlarged xerox ang posters, Riso ang programs, I mean, you know!... tapos ang mga performances tulad ng Vespers, TYG! Ako pa ang naki-usap sa San Beda kung puwedeng kumanta doon! Pero masaya kami, dahil nakagawa kami ng magandang music, at kung wala ang mga utaw doon ng live, malas na lang...

Siguro gusto kong ibalik yung era ng live performances, yung tipong you just have to be there to witness it, no recordings, just the magic of the music for that time only, no repeats (as in recording of the event). Masyado na tayong nawiwili sa Cd ekk, we don't take the effort anymore to go to live performances. Kaya hanggang ngayon, wala akong magustuhan na CD ng MADZ, magmula nung 60's, yung 89 batch namin, pati na yung mga latest ekk,... It doesn't capture any of the magic the Madz have during the actual performance... yung connecshyen nila sa audience, yung feeling mo na kumakanta sila para sa ** lang, very personal ang dating. Wala yan sa CD, ang mapapansin mo lang ay lahat ng technical faults: intonation, balance, interpretation, recording level, audience noise (or absence of it, as in studio recording), vibrato faults, etc... Nawawala ang magic. Pagdaan sa ** ng music, dumaan na, huwag mo nang i-rewind... yun na yon, hindi na mauulit ulit, not even for another performance. Di ba bongga yung ganong concept? Yun nga lang walang ala-ala para sa future generations ekk... Pero para sa akin oks lang yon.

Nevertheless, after that lengthy discourse, sasabihin ko kay Binky na kopyahan ka ekk. Binky will leave us, goes na rin siya sa U.S., to work. Wala na naman akong bass II, magco-conduct na naman ako sa gilid para makakanta rin... life is so ampeyr!!

[Boccelli]

Choirmaster... pasensya na at medyo farness akich at di ko talaga napanood ang ever so vivocious performance ng PCC. I could've given a longer and more extravagant review ekk.

Dina Sumising... hi. salamat at magkakaroon na rin ako ng N'Awlins beadies!!... if you want to listen to a couple of recordings and performances by the DLSU Chorale, i posted two songs sa Yahoo Briefcase ko. Download mo yung Mamayog Akun(Version 2) and Singet Dem Herrn ein Neues Leid. Yung Mamayog Batch 95 tapos yung Singet Batch 99. Alam kong mahirap icompare kasi magkaibang klase ng kanta pero para sa iyo I'll post a recording na classical ng Batch 95.

here's the link: http://briefcase.yahoo.com/chiuman98

sana mapakinggan mo.

SOPRANINA: hey you... hindi ko pa rin na ge-getcha ang CDs na sabi mong maba-buy ko from you... :( send mo na lang ako ng MP3 ng mga songs kahit isa lang.. yung pinaka favorite mo... please... im dying to hear new songs!!!

Have good week guys, gals and gels...

[Monteverdi]

To Choirmaster

It was nice to finally meet you...i've seen you in concert ilang beses na pero never had the chance to approach you. Nung Saturday nga sobrang harassed na ako cuz I thought I was late, hindi ko kasi alam kung saan ang San Beda...mag-isa lang akong pumunta doon. Did you know that several members of the Chorale were there, nandun kami sa harap! opposite your minidisc!

I was telling everyone (na malas at hindi nakapanood) yesterday that I've had about 3 or 4 recordings ng Rachmaninoff Vespers, pero di ko talaga siya ma fully appreciate...hindi ko alam kung boring talaga yung work o di ko type ang interpretation (kahit yung Russian choirs). But last Saturday evening, opening chords pa lang nung first canticle (Priiditye, Poklonimsia) nakilabot na ako...ang ganda po ng tunog!!!

I guess yon na nga siguro yung sinasabi mo na "live" experience...that connection with an audience. For most of the concert, I was closing my eyes or just plain staring up at the vaulted frescoes of the chapel, relishing the sound of your choir...ahhh! Kahit anong ganda ng stereo system, kahit anong linis ng recording...iba talaga yung nandoon ka!

Of course yung pagka ekek ko nandoon pa rin...ba't di ka nila naisipang bigyan ng electric fan? Para tuloy nag track and field ka pagkatapos ng concert! :) At ang galing nung soloist sa Blagoslowi, Du she Moya...akala ko talaga countertenor sha! There are still so many things to highlight...pero yung surprised talaga ako is the shadings...yung pag handle ng dynamics. Parang...well, napaka Filipino! Ang expressive ng pag piano ng PCC (medyo iba nga ang tunog ngayon relative to the previous performances na narining ko). Ginawa ba to ni Sergei para sa PCC? :) Kasi napagusapan namin, agree kami na bagay talaga yung Vespers sa inyo...(siguro dahil malakas lang ang connection nating mga Pinoy sa Diyos, malakas ang spirituality.) I didn't get to hear the ending of the Nynye Otpushtayeshi though...

Well, tama na yung ekek...look forward na lang ako sa Zadok the Priest! Hehe, favorite ko sa Monteverdi Choir yan :) Nga pala, dumating ba yung Russian Ambassador? I also met Dave the Welsh guy...he's a nice chap! hehehe :)

At ano yung Christmas gift? malapit na mag valentines ah! hahaha :lol:

[Boccelli]

Hayan, I posted more songs for your listening pleasure dun sa website. here's a link to that website.

http://briefcase.yahoo.com/chiuman98

There's a song there called Farmer Song its sung by this vivocious Chorus from Korea, too bad wala akong recording ng group singing a classical piece kasi ang galing ng mga hitad!.. bibo tumira ng lines and pinong pino kahit na walong milyon ang dami nila.. hehehe
pero they really are good.. even though may solo ang song i noticed na hindi sumusobra ang tira ng mga soloista and pino yung tira ng soprano!

kakawindang lang!..

hey do i give you my email so you can contact me pag nakuha mo na ako ng Beadies... :)

Monteverdi.. balita ko nga andun ka daw sa concert ng ever so win na win na PCC.

Choirmaster... alam mo, sobrang dami sanang gustong lumapit sayo from Chorale kaya lang ang dami na daw masyadong lumapit kaya di na sila nakasingit and you looked too tired daw. Pero they were soooooooooooooooooobrang impressed...
nabaliw at kulang na lang eh mahulog sa mga upuan nila.. kidding.. hehehehe
pero ang galing daw talaga.. sana maka upload ka ng kahit na isang song from your minidisc recording. please... please.. by the way, heto na yung mas maayos na website nung choir na gusto kong salihan dito sa Chicago

BOCCELLI:

Maraming thank you sa mga songs na pinost mo sa iyong yahoobriefcase at napakinggan ko na. Maganda nga ang tunog... malinis. Ilang ba kayong miyembro? Iisa ang tunog ng section so hindi ko mawari. Post ka pa ng mga songs para may mapakinggan pa ako.

May kopya ka na ba ng World Chorale Symposium CD performance ninyo? Interested kasi yung isa kong friend. Baka pwede mong ijoin sa briefcase chuchu mo.

Thanks!!! At speaking of beadies, email na lang kita siguro sa yahoo chuchu mo. Oki?

CHOIRMASTER:

Nalowka ako sa iyong mga thoughts on recorded performances. You got a point pero meron pa ring mga fans na nakakapagrecord ng inyong performances kahit pa sa walkman lang at meron pa ring legacy na maiiwan kahit sa chakang recording. At paano naman kaming hindi makakapanood? Sorry na lang ba???? Para yatang hindi makatarungan yun!

About the recording outfit, wala ka bang friendita who does this kind of stuff para freemity or sponsored?

Hennyway, CONGRATS uli at pakisabi kay BINKY na hello from me at saan ba syang parte ng US mababase? At salamat ng advance sa recording. hehehe.

later!!!

[Monteverdi]

To Choirboy

Hey! Nice meeting you...thanks for the real group sampler. Magaling sila at inventive! I like them! You should listen to take 6 kasi their harmony is jazzier...as in polychords, quartal chord shapes...mga voicings na AMaj9 flat5th add13! hehehe :) Basta magaling rin sila and you'll enjoy their sound! Buy their live album! Jazz Gospel yung repertoire nila...they arrange afro-american spirituals in the jazz vein...sayang, if i didnt lose my cds i would have lent them to you.

BTW, did you like the Renaissance collection? Galing nung disc no. 2, yung mga motets noh?

I loved the King's College Rach Vespers. Everyone's been telling me it's too Anglican and English. Pero ****! Ang ganda ng tunog! (Pero wala silang sinabi sa PCC nung Sabado, hahaha!...Viva Jojo und der Philippinische Kammerchor! Danke für die Musik! Ich bin aufgeregt über Ihrem folgenden konzert!)

See yah this weekend!

Actually,

Hmmmmm.. kelan mo siya na-download, kasi I posted the songs that the organizers chose to include in the WSCM CD(double). They were Dungdunguen Canto and Ilay Gandangan. For the 95 Batch, there were 21 singers, for our Batch(99) there were 19 singers.

Yung cd namin na binenta namin sa europe, CHAKA!!!, konting songs lang ang feel kong i-post... iritable kasi kami lahat nung ni-record namin yun eh. As in... tipong, finaflat namin yung mga notes kasi major imbey na kami at late na late na eh sing pa rin ng sing!!!.... ang OA nga eh.. kaka inis, i wish we understood na that recording was going to be there for life(as in recorded na ang pagkaimey namin)

Oh well... But the WSCM is a good indication of our sound pero I feel na the best sound ever na naproduce namin eh hindi na record... (bawal kasi sabi ng organizers ng competition) pero sobrang sayang...

Email ko would be f5117@hotmail.com


Would you know if it is possible ot put into MP3 songs that are in Tape?


DLSU CHORALE 99...

Pwedend paki convert into CD or MP3 yung Slovenia performances natin para naman marinig ko... please :)
Hanapan niyo ng paraan.. hehehehehehehehe

[choirmaster]

BOCCELLI: Accenture ka pala... alam mo bang isa sa miyembro ng PCC (original member, kumakanta pa rin) ay taga-Accenture? Siyempre, knows ko na rin ang pangalan mo! hehe...

Thanks for the praise, maski transpacific... we're starting to rehearse for the bamboo organ festival. Wednesday evening ang rehearsal, pero hindi ko alam kung ano ang mangyayari, because of the ekk na nangyari sa Senate. Siyempre cryola to death ang choirlowla, nung nakita kong umiiyak ang lowla Loren Legarda-Leviste. TENSE!

Shock ako.. pano mo nalaman?
And who itich na kasama sa PCC na tiga Accenture? Siya ba ang nagsabi sa **.. :) hehehehehe
Hey, I hope you still have time to evaluate that Choir I told you about. For me, magaling naman sila kaya lang natatakot ako sa standards nila na straight tone dapat ang tira ng mga notes.... pano na ang vibratura ko? waaaaaaa....

heto yung site kung nasaan yung MP3 files nila. at the other site is their own website:

http://www.chicagochoralartists.org -> their site
http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/61/chicago_choral_artists.html -> MP3 site nila.


I'll wait for your advice.

[beverage]

Oh hello again unpleasant peasants (and fellow pleasant pheasants) of the land of CORALITA...(pangalan ng concert ng choir ko sa Martignacco, Italy...walang biro...ang baladge!!)

I'm Johann Sebastian BACK!!!

Labin-2 (as in Zwanzig?) na ang mga kapahinahan nitong kalandian na 'to? VONGGA!! Mabuhay ang mga utash!

Yes, the mood encompassing our country is sombre. Maraming kaguluhan sa bayan, but hey, we're still alive aren't we? Kaya let's just enjoy whatever we can still enjoy.

Hello to CHOIRMOTHER (ay hindi na pala...ang mga chenelyn press release!!!), HARANGKING, CRUELLA102dalmatiansEK, JBB, INDIEGIRL, POWERPUFFGHURL, GADOGADO, SOPRANINA and PYKET..sana wa na ako nakalimutan.

About CHOIRMASTER (ay, ang sad na pakinggan): wud u believe na si sir na ito ay bumulusok ba naman sa klase ko kay verne dela peña sa world music habang nag-eexam akesh? Beautifel (with the matsing sir robert accent)! ninervyos ang ME...dahil akala ko tinatawag ako sa office ni dean borromeo...AFRAID...baka ma-sanction... but no, ipinadala lang pala niya thru me ang kanyang ek (secret garden, BEH!!) na sulat. Welsh, at least hindi nga ako na-sanction, kundi tsugi ang byuti kesh sa kolehiyong musika.

Welsh, as usual, lovely na naman ng Vespers and for the second time, I felt very Kremlinized. Pati yung weather na feel ko na naman sa San Beda Chapel...must be the vibratos, hehehe.

I think I saw some of you ppl (of De La Salle).

Welsh, babayu na sa inyu dahil napapagod pa rin ako sa kalalakad ng kahabaan ng White Plains Avenue para lang attendan ang lovely EDSA rally kanina. *** nga pala, naabutan ko ang oh-so-heavenly-operatic beauty ni PINKY MARQUEZ sa kanyang pag-awit ng the Light of a Million Mornings under the statue of Maria and in front of the jillions of ppl. Feel na feel namin ni SOPRANINA kanina ang kanyang mataray na voce, in its glorious pop-to-classical shifting. Pwede talaga siyang mag-Cio-Cio San o di kaya Norma or Isolde....CHARING...

[MsgNtSntDsTym]

animo la salle!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Boccelli]

Hey.... ano na ba ang nangyayari jan sa pilipinas at major txt ang nanay ko sa akin ditrels... natatakot tuloy ako!

Sana ok kayong lahat jan...

Ipakita niyo na di tayo kayang salingin ng mga hitad na nasa gobyerno!

Mabuhay ang Malayang Pilipino!

[choirmaster]

BOCCELLI:

his real name is (edited, hehehe), been with our andersen consulting/accenture
for more than 1 year, economics grad from DLSU, member of DLSU Chorale, was
on home leave from his Chicago assignment dec 22-27....

o diva, updated ang aking ekk! Naloloka ka na ba sa aking sources? Dapat manood ka na lang ng PCC para malaman mo!

Alam mo bang malapit ako sa DLSU Chorale noon? Panahon ni Noel Bugarin... arranged a concert for them in Berlin, when I was a student there. My brother was in that batch, si Raphy Velasco. Knows nyo ba siya? Buti na lang hindi siya nag-music; tama na ang isang musikero sa pamilya no! Happily married to Portia (DLSU Chorale din!) and they have one son, Paulo (future DLSU Chorale member!). Both work with BPI (ex-FEBTC) sa ITG.

BEVERAGE:

buti ka pa, nakapag-EDSA. May I rehearse PCC tonight no, with the matching kalahati lang ng choir ang dumating. Kaloka. Yung iba may harang, yung iba nasa EDSA. Oh well, I couldn't postpone the rehearsal, kasi alam mo namang once a week lang ang beauty namin mag-rehearse. E, tipong malapit na ang bamboo organ ekk. Kaloka ang Te Deum ni Cayabyabayshious, tilian to death. Ganito ang programa: organ muna, tapos Zadok the Priest (konting kabonggahan), Te Deum (katakut-takut na kabonggahan), pahinga ng konti sa intermissyen, tapos Paulus ni Mendelssohn. May boses pa kaya kami pagdating ng Paulus? BUT NO, magkasunod na araw na pareho ang programa!

MONTEVERDI: Warum sprichst Du sehr gut Deutsch? Ich wollte mit dir über irgendwas reden; kannst Du mir bitte Deine telefon nummer geben? Du kannst zu mir ein e-mail schicken; Du weisst doch mein e-mail address, nicht wahr? Falls nicht: jojoailm@info.com.ph Singst Du noch mit irgendeine gruppe?

TO EVERYBODY: enrol na kayo sa Goethe Institut, para joinmity kayo sa diskusyon namin ni Monteverdi! hehehe... BUT NO! baka may ibang nakaintindi, lagot...

[Boccelli]

Ich denke, daß ich Ihr deutsches Gespräch verbinden kann. Ich kann es übersetzen lassen. Vor ich daß weiß, Raphy Velasco und ich ihn einer langen Zeit traf. Ich kann nicht glauben, daß Sie soviel in mir auskennen. Sie wissen, als ich zurück zu Manila flog, als ich für Chicago verließ. Wenn ich zurück zu Hoffnung Manila I gehe, die alles bereits gut ist und ich kann Ihre großen Konzerte überwachen. Traurig für die schlechte Grammatik. Sie ist wegen dieses dummen Übersetzers.

[choirmaster]

BOCCELLI:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nakakalowka talaga ang translator mo!! As in, nakakalowka! Muntik nang wala akong maintindihan! Hahaha! Pero yung last two sentences ang talagang one for the record books. Yung tipong, tama, pero nakakatawa ang kalalabasan. Nyway, yun lang.

[Boccelli]

Sabi ko na nga ba eh.. ang chaka talaga ng translator na ginagamit ko.. Sa ALTAVISTA siya eh.... pero nung trinanslate ko yung tinayp mo for Monteverdi sobrang tama siya! German ka na talaga!!! VIVO!!!

je suis désolé pour mon allemand!

Bow.. hehehehehehe
Gising ka pa choirmother? Orlok ka na.. baka kung ano mangyari sayo!

[juravit]

CHOIRMOTHER: Yes, we know him, si kuya Raffy, naabutan ko pa siya sa La Salle. Siya pa nga ang nagturo sa akin ng Isang Dugo eh... Kelan ang next concert ng PCC? Hope I can watch na by that time. Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch your concert last Jan 13. SAYANG! ANyway, I need your advice. What's your e-mail address?

Bochelli: Nice idea. I have some of the "live" concert tapes of the DLSU CHorale. Simula ng "Harmonies of the Heart." di ko kasi alam kung kanino at saan ako magpapaCD kaya nakatago lang sa BAol.

[choirmaster]

JURAVIT: Tingnan mo yung German message ko kay Monteverdi; nandoon ang e-mail ko.

Thanks! I'll e-mail you soon.


ARDI: Kamusta na? Ano nang latest developments sa chinika mo sa akin sa Philam? Kung totoo nga yoong kutob ko that time.... answered prayers!

I TRIED to learn German because of JS Bach. Basic lang na words like Herr, singet, Gott, Ich, warum, freude, etc,...yung mga titles ng cantatas at motets...puro religious nga eh. Then I bought this cheap Learn Deutsche CD, para lang may idea kung ano yung kinakanta ng RIAS Kammerchor :) tamad akong magbasa ng sleevenotes eh...but hopeless na ako matuto...siguro by recognizing key words na lang...

About what? Sige email kita soon. Busy na ako kasi super rally ang market! Bongga si GMA at improve ang business climate agad. Brokers and investors are sobrang optimistic!

I dont sing with any choir. I have my group na tinuturuan sa parish. SSA ensemble siya puro college.

Ok dun sa Goethe...raming books tungkol kay Bach! at pwedeng borrow CD (puro naxos!). Tambay kasi ako dun one time eh...

ich hatte das vergnügung gehabt,drei der weltbesten chöre...nämlich UPCC,UST Singers and the UPMadrigal persönlich in ihren sämtlichen auftritte in deutschland kennengelernt zu haben. sie waren alle phantastisch. ich hatte auch riesen freude mit einigen mitglieder der chöre bis zu dieser zeit noch kontakt zu haben. ich habe aber mehr die chormitglieder der UPCC and UPMadrigal mehr geschätzt. der chorleiter (ein junger professor)von UST Singers finde ich sehr unsympathisch. er und einiger chormitglieder der USTSingers haben bei uns zu hause mehrere tagen aufgehalten...wir haben ihnen dach über dem kopf gewährt und essen täglich angeboten. seitdem sie unseren haustür verließ, haben wir leider von ihnen nichts mehr gehört. Es ist nicht wie bei den UPCC oder Madz, sie schickten uns noch postkarten während ihres konzerttournees.ich finde alle universitätschöre der philippinen musikalisch hervoragend. aber die chormitglieder und chorleiter der UPCC und Madz schätze ich mehr.

It is not as with the UPCC or Madz, it sent to us still postcards during their konzerttournees.ich finds all university choirs of the Philippines hervoragend. however the choir members and choir conductors of the UPCC and Madz estimates I more in music.

Hello everybody! I just want to invite you to watch the Auit Chamber Chamber Vocal Ensemble in concert on Feb 12, 2001 at the Aldaba Hall of UP Diliman at 7 pm. We will be singing songs by contemporary Filipino composers such as Chino Toledo, the conductor of the choir, Robin Estrada, Katz Trangco, Christine Muyco and other Asean composers. If you haven't heard of us yet, we are a relatively new choir that specializes on 20th century (and 21st century na rin) music by living composers. Pag patay na, di na namin kinakanta ang work niya. Ours is something new and interesting, so please watch naman if you can. Tickets are availabe at the entrance of the Aldaba Hall at a very cheap price of P30. Support us naman!

[choirmaster]

JOHNVIANNEY:

hindi mo pa rin sinasabi sa akin kung bakit ganyan ang pangalan mo ekk... saang lupalop ng kukote mo naman nakuha ang johnvianney emmanuel cruz na pangalang yan?

Anyway, kaloka ka talaga. kilala ka ni goethe, at kilala mo rin siya! du bist wirklich verrückt! Warum sagst du überhaupt dass du dieser frau nicht kennst? du kennst sie doch! Sie ist eine gute freundin von dir! At oo, kilala mong matalik ang tinutukoy ko, na hanggang ngayon ay hinahanap ko pa rin. Paki-contact naman o. I'm desperate, dahling.

MONTEVERDI:

It was a nice surprise to see you in our rehearsal. Pasensiya ka na sa choir ko, baka bumaba pa ang low regard mo. Hindi kami kaya ng acoustic ng kuwarto, sumasabog ang tunog. Kailangan pa rin tayong mag-usap, I'll just pick your brains... Mag-ingat ka sa kaibigan mo, baka ka daganan! hahahaha!! (joks lang)

I did have a great time last Wednesday! I learned a lot (I just wished I brought a notebook that time :) I'd always remember that line...'17th century loudness' hehehe...what the hell is that? hahaha! of course, historically informed ekek will know what it is...

Goodluck sa Bamboo...and lets talk soon...ok?

Choirboy

Sabi ko na nga ba...yung Rachmaninoff Vespers ko ng St. Petersburg Chamber Choir ay nakay AJ nga! Hinalungkat ko sa mga CDs nya at voila! nandoon si Sergei! natawa na lang ang kaibigan nating sabog! :)

Goodluck sa contemporary a cappella choir mo...ano nga ba pangalan nyo? is it the Sensous Sensations? hehehe joke lang

TO EVERYONE

Uy nood tayo nung concert ng Auit Choir sa Feb. 12. Support natin ang mga kababayan nating compositor! (Type ko lang ngayon ang avant-garde at contemporary eh)

Concert din pala ng DLSU Chorale sa Feb. 24 sa Philam. If you want a good time and not too many songs na parang pusang nag-aaway sa gabi o multo ang dating...just kidding! :lol:

TO Minette

Hey girl! Happy Birthday! :)

[dietrich]

hi pipol! kamusta na kayong lahat? yun lang. bye!

[medium]

HI DINA SUMISING!!! Alam mo kilala kita. Yes kumanta tayo sa AUIT together. We're both pioneer members of the group. And sa Pundaquit tayo kumanta nun.It's in Zambales. Hindi sa Pampangga.Anyway, sana andito ka. Nami-miss na namin ang voice mo.

[Boccelli]

Hey Guys... pasensya na at di na ako nakakapost dito.

Been busy with work..

DINA SUMISING: Malapit na ang Mardi Gras ekk and Im sure excited ka na! I might go to New Orleans as well pero March pa(after mardi gras)... hey don't forget the beads ha!... I'm really dying to get a few of those beads... I hope you wouldn't have to show your boobies for the beads you will be giving me... nakakahiya naman kung ipapagawa ko pa sayo yon. :D I know you will enjoy it. Sana I can go to Mardi Gras soon!

Monteverdi: So sa Feb 24 ang concert ng chorale? good luck sa kanila... at sana maganda ang performance nila... i haven't heard of the repertoire they're going to be performing so I wouldn't know kung light or heavy ang program. But because it's Valentine's Day/Season I'm sure it's mostly love songs and the usual entertaining songs.

I HOPE ALL OF YOU WATCH THE CONCERT!!!

Choirmaster: Thanks again for replying to my mail. Alam mo bang di ako pinapansin ng conductor ng choir. I have been emailing him constantly at wala man lang reply. Inisnub ang boses ko!! huhuhuhuhuh :(

Oh well... Take care y'all!

[Dina Sumising]

CHOIRMASTER:

GUESS WHAT PROFESSIONAL GROUPS ARE PERFORMING HERE IN NYC THIS WEEKEND???? NONE OTHER THAN THE SWEDISH RADIO CHOIR WITH THE ERIC ERICSON CHAMBER CHOIR!!! KALOWKA DIBA? NAGJOINT VENTURE pa ang dalawang choirs! Haaayyy.... Now, makikita ko na rin sila at maririnig in person. On Friday, they will be performing an all a cappella repertoire:
* Ligeti: Lux aeterna for 16 part chorus a cappella (1966)
* R. Strauss: Deutsche Motette, Op. 62
* Lidholm: Libera me for mixed chorus a cappella
* Schnittke: Concerto for Mixed Chorus (1984-85)

On Sunday afternoon naman, they will be performing VERDI'S REQUIEM at the Avery Fisher Hall.

I just phoned Johnvianney this afternoon at ininggit ko rin ang ate natin. I also phoned the swedish singer who is in Oberlin (OHIO) and chikahan a little (he's not singing with the group since he has been away from Sweden studying in Oberlin, remember?). Johnvianney and I MIGHT visit Leif at Oberlin in Ohio midMarch to watch his performance Rossini's Cinderella where he will perform the Prince part chuchu. Depende kung murayta ang fare dahil alam mo naman na rarampa pa kami in two weeks ni Johnvianney sa Nawlins for the Mardi Gras.

Anyway, yan lang muna and may I chika later about the performance of the abovementioned groups. Syempre, excited ako.

Hi and hello to all choristers!

[Boccelli]

Hey Guys..

just found this site with tons of RealPlayer format Choral songs!! Check it out if you have RealPlayer!

http://www.geocities.com/hearchoirs/

enjoy!

[goethe]

i´m indeed in europe but not in switzerland.
but what i was trying to say was, that i enjoyed the company of the members from the said chorale group. before, we still have contact with some members of UP madrigal and even with ma´am oa veneracion and even with prof. paguio before he passed away. we still get in touch with members of UPCC until now. although their not a chorale group, members of the former UP filipiniana and its head were very close to us ( they also had several performances in europe during that time). i still get a chance to see this people ( UP madz, UPCC and UP filipiniana dance troupe) once i take my vacation in manila. unforunately, i don´t get the chance to meet some from UST singers. i have no idea why?

no matter what honors or awards a filipino university chorale claims abroad, the most important thing is that their performance was to sing the filipino culture to the people and build bridges between our culture to theirs.

[chOirbOy`]

JOHNVIANNEY - kewl!! how i wish i'd be able to see and
hear them perform live.i know about
CASA,pero may info ka ba about
BOCA (best of collegiate a cappella) ??
as in total pop-rock talaga sila, with
matching pamatay na vocal percussion
not unlike Rockapella.
MONTEVERDI - ayan, ayan...sa susunod kasi...
'tol, muntik na nga pala akong ma hospitalize
kasi, i was blown away by...
the GARDINER-beethoven missa solemnis!!!
SOBRA TALAGAAAA!!! if u guys r interested sa
recording na ito, there r stil 3 more copies
left sa Tower records makati store as of
Feb 9 ng gabi.. buy na bilis!!! kalokah ang
interpriteyshen ni lowla john eliot coupled
with marvelous engineering from DG-Archiv,
this CD is better than the Herrewhege release
from harmonia mundi.
check out n'** din yung Haydn 'creation' ni
Hogwood and when u hear it, u'll find it hard
to believe na there are 120 players and
80 singers... ang clean ng sound, and not to
mention na si Emma Kirkby ang Gabriel...

Go na sa Tower records!!! one fair warning
though: baka ma purita magdangal kayo..hehe!

[chOirbOy`]

pahabol..

JOHNVIANNEY - member ka na ba ng CASA?

MONTEVERDI - also got yung CARMINA BURANA-ek ni Charles Dutoit, ang ganda kasi ng CD cover, gurl na gurl.. the best part of cors is the music itself, vivid ng sound.

CHOIRMASTER:

Watched the concert of the well-renowned groups last night at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola (84th St. and Park Avenue). Haaaayaaayaay... Napapikit na lang ang beauty ko sa kakaemote or napatingin sa designs nung church in appreciation of the beautiful music I was hearing. OOOVERRR naman sa pagkagaling ng group!! Pang-Philippine Chinugi yung mga songs na kinanta nila. BTW, it was conducted nga pala by ERIC ERICSON, himself. How I wish I had one of Johnvianney's (or yours) hightech recording gadgets at nang narecord ko nang mas maayos ang performance. Syempre, tape recorder lang ang dala ko.

They sang 3 encores at sobra akong natuwa when they brought the house down with Och Jung.... I finally heard the real thing!!! :)

Tomorrow, off I go to Avery Fisher Hall at the Lincoln Center to watch their performance of Verdi's Requiem. I haven't heard Verdi's Requiem yet but Johnvianney told me to think of Verdi's Ave Maria na kinanta natin sa Phil. Chinugi. Suddenly I realize that this will be another extraordinary piece of serious work.

[choirmaster]

DINA SUMISING:

Kainggit ka naman... ang ganda pa ng repertoire na kinanta nila. Yung kinanta nilang Schnittke, yung Concerto for Choir, kinanta na yan nila HARANGKING sa World Youth Choir. Feel ko yatang gawin ditrels...

Last time kong napanood ng sabay ang dalawang choirs was 11 years ago, sa Stockholm, where they sang whatever, siyempre hindi ko na maremember, alam mo naman ang alzheimers ng mudrash mo... At one point may all-female part na clusters na weaving in and out of each voice, and the overtones were too great, some members of the audience were actually covering their ears, isa na ko doon! Kalowka talaga! They also gave the pitch with a casiotone, which i have tried copying during the performances of the rach vespers. Anyway, enjoy ka sana sa verdi requiem, especially yung fortissimo dun sa confutatis, with the matching offstage trumpets, na akala mo ay katapusan na ng mundo!

GOETHE:

Sorry, ich bitte auch um entschuldigung, i thought you were another person i know. ich war auch ein ehemalige mitglieder der Madrigal Singers, aber schon lange zeit her. i sang with them from 1981 to 1989. So sorry for my deutsch, i always have trouble writing in the language.

[Boccelli]

DINA SUMISING:

Di ka man lang nag respond sa pag Hi ko sayo.. :(
huhuhuhuhu
Sige, enjoy na lang kayo sa Mardi Gras Festival.

Yun lang...

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.

BOCCELLI:

Huy, pasensya ka na at di ako nakarespond. Ewan ko ba. Ang dami kasing mga nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon chuva, etching. Pero, hindi ko nakakalimutan ang beadies mo. Next week na yung trip namin for the Mardi Gras. Kainis coz I stopped working out since December coz I injured my lower back and kung anu ano pa. Alam mo naman na megaplus points ang bodazh ditrels.

Anyway, asan ka ba? Chicago? Check mo nga at baka dumaan dyan ang SWEDISH RADIO CHOIR & ERIC ERICSON CHAMBER CHOIR dahil they performed here last weekend and BONGGACIOUS TALAGA and their repertoire reminded me of my PCC days. Wag isnabin yan dahil according to CHOIRMASTER himself, eh sila lang naman ang pinakamagaling na professional choir sa buong mundo. KALOWKA ang mga pieces at grabe ang tunog. So, check na ang iyong local cultural centers dyan.

O, sya. Ingat and enjoy!

Sobra na naman akong natuwa at bongga na naman ang performance (VERDI'S REQUIEM conducted by Austrian conductor MANFRED HONECK) na napanood ko last Sunday. Hinintay ko yung fortissimo dun sa confutatis, with the matching offstage trumpets, pero wala naman akong narinig dahil BASS SOLO po yung confutatis. Pero nataranta ako dun sa trumpets dun sa Tuba Mirum. So, I guess, ito siguro yung trumpets chuva na nakakagulantang. At NALOWKA din ako sa DIES IRAE... OVER SA PAGKABONGGACIOUS!!! Feeling ko talaga eh katapusan na ng mundo!!!

Bongga din ang mga soloists. Yung russian SOPRANO soloist (MARINA MESCHERIAKOVA) eh mataray ang boses, madrils. Merong mga megapianississimmo na high notes na megabright pa ang tunog pero over din ang ariba mga fortes. Nalowka ako at napangiti sa pagkagaling ng bruha. Yung german MEZZO SOPRANO naman (NADJA MICHAEL) eh nakakalowka dahil entrada in a sleeveless white gown pero bondat dahil JONTIS. Pero nung kumanta na eh nakalimutan na ng audience na preggy dahil mataray din. Malakas ang boses pero hindi tunog lalaki at meron ding high notes na controlled at pianississimmo. Matataray ang mga gehls. Yung tenor soloist eh okay lang. Yung bass eh gwapo kaya lang feeling ko eh buga lang ng buga. Ewan.

Mother, aralin nyo yung Deutsche Motette, Op. 62 ni Richard Strauss... non-stop singing ito for 18 minutes. Maganda dahil merong quartet soloists. Naririnig ko na ang Mrs. Cura singing the soprano part. Ang sarap sarap pakinggan nung piece.

Yung Libera me for mixed chorus a cappella ni Ingvar Lidholm eh mataray din. May Dies Irae theme so katapusan din ng mundo na naman ang dating. At nakakalowka ang mga syncopations!!!! As in!! Ang Lolo Eric Ericson eh talagang umariba sa conducting. This particular piece daw eh talagang created by Lidholm for the Swedish Radio Choir and completed in 1994. So, ayan!!! Gamitin na ang contacts at igetch ang piece!

Ano bang latest with PCC??? And buhay pa ba ang SINGERS HARMONICS??? Curious ang beauty ko. Paki hello to HARANGKING FROM MOI.

Sige, enjoy na lang kayo sa Mardi Gras Festival.

Yun lang...

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.



BOCCELLI:

Huy, pasensya ka na at di ako nakarespond. Ewan ko ba. Ang dami kasing mga nangyayari sa buhay ko ngayon chuva, etching. Pero, hindi ko nakakalimutan ang beadies mo. Next week na yung trip namin for the Mardi Gras. Kainis coz I stopped working out since December coz I injured my lower back and kung anu ano pa. Alam mo naman na megaplus points ang bodazh ditrels.

Anyway, asan ka ba? Chicago? Check mo nga at baka dumaan dyan ang SWEDISH RADIO CHOIR & ERIC ERICSON CHAMBER CHOIR dahil they performed here last weekend and BONGGACIOUS TALAGA and their repertoire reminded me of my PCC days. Wag isnabin yan dahil according to CHOIRMASTER himself, eh sila lang naman ang pinakamagaling na professional choir sa buong mundo. KALOWKA ang mga pieces at grabe ang tunog. So, check na ang iyong local cultural centers dyan.

O, sya. Ingat and enjoy!



Shempre ang ganda talaga!.. alam mo ba... ngayon ko lang nalaman na nagperform ang mother of all professional choirs (yung Choirs na sinasabi mo) kagabi!!!! oh diba.. major late ang suggestion mo! :)

Kasi naloloka ka masyado sa Mardi Gras trip .. ok lang.. sayang lang talaga. I just found out that they performed last night sa Orchestra Hall and that's close by lang sa apartment ko. Kakainis... na miss ko yung show!!!

Oh well.. take care and enjoy Fat Tuesday!

[Funny]

Hello everyone! la lang bumisita lang sa thread nyo.

[Number2]

basta... University of the Phillipines pa rin ang number 1!Tapos UST...

[whoopie]

Bocelli-How are you na? Miss u na talaga a. How was your V Day? Ok ba? Hehe.... Haay naku kami, curacha sa harana! Sobrang dami kahapon. Kaloka! Meron kami hanggang Friday. Anyway, concert na namin sa Feb 24, Syempre wala ka na naman. Heto na ata ang pinakalight namin na repertoire sa major concert ever. Dami pop songs eh. Pang-Valentine's talaga. Sige, chika na lang sa e-group a. Miss you na. TC.

hello everyone! Hope you'll watch the DLSU Chorale's post-Valentine's concert on Feb. 24, 7pm, PhilamLife Auditorium, P150. Since pang-Valentine's siya, mostly love songs and pop songs kakantahin namin. Meron pa rin namang konting religious and madrigals. Light lang ang repertoire. Hope to see you there.

[kIm_cHiC]

DLSU Chorale is the best!!!

[choirmaster]

DINA SUMISING:

E, yun na nga yung parteng gusto kong sabihin. hehehe... solo ko pala yung confutatis. I sang that here in the middle of an attack of vocal nodes, diva bongga? siyempre ka, halos hindi maabot ang mga high notes ekk... tapos ang tempos pa ni barbie doll, sobra sa pagka-erratic.

the pcc is alive and well, at maganda ang programme for the bamboo organ ekk. a whole night of sigawan, este, kantahan pala. we're now 47 singers, pero nagballoon lang for the bamboo ekk. i'm sure it's going to be an excellent evening. awatin ang mga sop ones sa ending ng te deum, na pagkatapos tumili ng mga sol at la sa taas for one whole page, ay biglang akyat ng high c sustained sa last chord! umaariba na naman ang mga aileen and luchie ekk! and all in total in-your-face fortissimo ekk! we've also been reinvited to give concerts sa taiwan, and this time all expenses paid, say mo! si fortune, hinayupak na yon, hindi sumisipot sa mga ensayo. wala tuloy akong date nung valentines... CHENKEEEE! alam mo bang nag-ensayo pa rin kami nung v day... syempre, maraming hindi nakarating sa sobrang trapik sa harap, sa may e. rodriguez at pati na rin ang restaurant alley of tomas morato! pero rehearse pa rin ang beauty namin, kaming mga walang date for the nite! hehehe...

malapit nang i-launch ang first truly professional choir in the country. pero hayaan mo munang lumabas ang mga press release next week, for the auditions. ayokong akong magsabi kung ano ito. pag lumabas na, kukuwentuhan kita chuva kung anetch itech. 60 members mama, and all being paid to just sing 4 hours a day (plus performances ekk). divavong? at last, ligeti, lidholm, schoenberg, here we come!

muthrels, magwork out ka na diyan, baka machugi ang beauty mo sa mardi gras, ikaw rin...

yun lang ekk.

[johnvianney]

Choirboy : Ngayon lang ako nagkaroon uli ng weather to log-in. I subscibed to CASA a few years ago, mga 10 to 20 puking
ang yearly membership (alam mo, gibsing ng mga monthly newsletter and latest records releases ekk), Pero w/ the advent of the internet..eh ganoon na rin..so dagdag gastos pa. Anyway, yung BOCA na sinasabi mo, I have the impression na ang materially relevant ekk nito eh mga compiled recordings of Collegiate groups na nilalagay nila sa isang CD or casette..Actuallilet, may mga binili akong BOCA casettes for the year 1994 etc..Pero lack-luster lang ang mga ito compared sa mga heavy-percussive ekk ng ibang grupo..na hindi documented doon..

Choirmaster Und Dina Sumising :
Ate, natanggap ko tonite ang mga fresh from the oven
illegal tape copies of the concert of Swedish Ericson Groups, and wala akong masabi sa Das Program na-inilakip mo
I wish maging-tradition ito sa Pinas, na give ng time
and importance to prepare program notes..na pwedeng sundan
ng mga nanood with matching libretto and translations of works being performed with matching background history ng
mga artists or composers.. O siya..pakikinggan ko na..maski
wi-narningngan mo ako na na-kyo-kyosag ang tunog pagnag-fo-fortissimo na...o siya may i tone down the treble ekk
Choirmaster, gusto kitang padalhan kahit na isang
postcardita from Naw Awlins..Gibsung mo nga ulit ang address mo..Bumili na ako ng 2 bottles of GINSENG concentrate, siempre...for the energy and libidulcestecum
lux aeterna ni Ligetti chuvalis...

yun lang ekk.

Mother,

May nasagap akong balita regarding the new professional choir chuva. My reliable source told me na isang company (isang Santo) ang magpapayola ng mga singers (PHP25K up) at kumpleto benefits pa raw just to sing 4 hours of music. Balita ko rin na ang Harangking eh deadma na raw yata sa tour ng isang choir na magcocompete dahil nga sa bagong group na ito. Ang taray naman ng bagong group at megasponsored.

Ang katanungan namin ni Johnvianney eh kung sino ang CONDUCTOR. Ikaw po ba or yung iyong choirmaster nung kabataan mo? At paano na ang Phil. Chinigi? Machuchugi na ba bec. of this new group?

Yan lamang muna at sige na, magkwento na!!!

[choirmaster]

DINA SUMISING:

Lumabas na ang ads for the professional choir ekk... tama ka, isang Santo ang sponsor... mali ang chismaks tungkol sa payola, mas mababa, pero ayaw ko nang magsalita... ang conductor ay walang iba kundi ang inyong lingkod... at hindi (pa!) machuchugi ang Philippine Chinugi. O ayan, nasagot na ang lahat ng katanungan ekk mo...

n/t... so pls just stop this arguement coz the well known UST Chorale have the crown in this field...

Exciting naman at may audi-audition pa this time!!! I am sure sangkaterbang former singers from MADZ and UP College of Music ang aariba sa audition na yan. Will we see alumni of the Glee Club, UST Singers, Dela Salle Chorale in the audition??? Hmmm... That will be very interesting.

Makapagconcentrate ka kaya when a good friend of yours is doing the audition like kabatch mo sa MADZ or member mo sa Philippine Chinugi??? The thought of it makes me smile at nakakalowka yata pag nachugi.

Anyway, kailan ba ang auditions??? Nagpaplano na kami ni Johnvianney na magbalik bayan at kumanta kanta na lang dyan. Etching!!! At least ngayon may bayad na!!! Charing!!! As if!!!!

Hoy Oyang! Pa-eek ka pa dyan kilala na kita, bistado ko na bading ka, charing! Musta na kumpadreng Boy Bato!
Malapit na magunaw ang mundo, at una daw na lalamunin ang SF chinky! Ok naman kami dito. Malapit nang lumigaya ang mga buhay namin, kaya stay put ka na lang dyan! Kilala mo ba ako? Bakit sila tinatawagan mo via mobile, ako wit? 'Namo!

Dina! Inggit naman ako sa mga napapanood mo. E di nagkita ulit kayo ni Papa Leif?! Aaaay! My lips are sealed...sometimes.
Nakanta ko na yung Concerto for Choir ni Schnittke with the WYC last 1999 conducted by the master himself, Frieder Bernius! Sino ngayon ang mas bongga sa ating dalawa, joke lang!
Kailan ka uwi? May bamboo organ fest kami next week kaya good luck na lang ulit sa mga singing careers namin. Kebs sa mga music reviewers at critique, na walang ginawa kundi mang-chugi at mamintas, wala rin namang alam (not all). Bato-bato sa langit, tamaan ay papangit!
Sige kayo sa hada ni Oyang dyan, ingat lang at baka ma-meet nyo ng di oras si Tita aida ek! Mahal namin kayo!
O sya lalalala!

Syempre, nawala yung aking long post ditrels for you.

Kamusta na KUYA???? Matagal ka yatang hindi nagawi rito?

Ang Oyang eh nasa New Orleans na nung Wednesday pa at ang beauty ko naman eh fafly na in a few hours at makikiparty sa isang milyon na katao duon for the Mardi Gras chuchu. Si Oyang ang warningan mo dyan kay Tita Aida at alam mo naman ako, mega-careful dyan at hindi yata fabulous maencounter si Tita Aida.

I didn't get to see the Swedish Singer here in NYC. Hindi naman kasi sya kajoin this time ng Swedish Radio Choir dahil remember, he is studying sa Oberlin under Richard Miller ba yon? But we still get to talk on the phone once in a while. Friends kuno dahil meron na kaming sariling mga jowas. Majoray ang performance ng Swedish Radio Choir and Eric Ericson Chamber Choir. Kalowka. Sabi ko nga kay Choirmaster eh kantahin niyo na yung Lidholm and Strauss pieces. Malolowka silang lahat. Ifufurnish ko pa kayo ng program notes. Hehehhe!!!

I heard from our common friend na matatali na this April na chugi mo na raw ang European Grand Prix ng aking former University Choir because of this new paying professional choir na sponsored ng isang company (isang SANTO)na may payola na plus full benefits of being an employee at sising lang kayo 4 hours a day + performances. How true is this??? Totoo bang tatalikdan mo na ang inyong touring profession this time? Hehhehe...

O, syaron muna. Have fun sa inyong Bamboo Organ performance. At hello! Kailan ka pa naaffectuhan ng mga critics chuva na yan? Eh isang high C lang nina Tita Aileen and Tita Luchie eh tigil ng mga mga chenkeeng yan eh! Kamusta na nga pala ngayon ang atin section. Mukha yatang aariba ka pa lalo this time na aalis na raw ang Binky??? Good luck sa singing career mo ngayon. Hehhehe...

Ingat and ano large ba ang size ng shirt mo? Padaplis ba???

bago pa man ang lahat, nais na sana naming humingi ng paumanhin sa post valentines concert namin na nagmistulang wala nang lakas ang mga kumakanta... pero para pa rin sa mga nanood ng concert... salamat at pagpalain kayong lahat ng Diyos. :)

[dagobert]

Alam mo bang malapit ako sa DLSU Chorale noon? Panahon ni Noel Bugarin... arranged a concert for them in Berlin, when I was a student there. My brother was in that batch, si Raphy Velasco. Knows nyo ba siya? Buti na lang hindi siya nag-music; tama na ang isang musikero sa pamilya no! Happily married to Portia (DLSU Chorale din!) and they have one son, Paulo (future DLSU Chorale member!). Both work with BPI (ex-FEBTC) sa ITG.


Kuya Raphy is a friend of mine (he'll kill me for calling him kuya!) . . . nagpang-abot kami sa chorale 93-94 and also did Mabuhay Pilipinas! twice in 93 . . . he's our best bass at that time . . . grabe ang boses niya, parang ikaw . . . actually, kumanta kami nun sa house nyo . . . i think christmas ng 93 at madalas din kaming makikain nun sa inyo! :)

Unfortunately I wasn't able to watch your concert last Jan 13. SAYANG! ANyway, I need your advice. What's your e-mail address?

Bochelli: Nice idea. I have some of the "live" concert tapes of the DLSU CHorale. Simula ng "Harmonies of the Heart." di ko kasi alam kung kanino at saan ako magpapaCD kaya nakatago lang sa BAol.



Juravit: Sino ka? Magka-batch ba tayo o mas matanda ka?

[NIc0^]

FYI....
Luciano Pavarotti the great Italian tenor once said that the most beautiful student chorale he had ever heard was, the University of Santo Tomas Singers. It was the time when UST Singers got the title Choir of the World. And to think they are not music majors, unlike people from UP Madz, but i think the Madz, made a lot before than ATENEO glee club.MAs trip ko Madz and USTe kaysa sa AGC and DLSU?PNU, i saw them, they are a very promising chorale, maybe someday they can beat the three top chorales,namely USTSingers, PHilippine Madrigal SIngers, and ATENEO Glee Club. THey are the best!!! Wish u all to bring the GRAND PRIX AGAIN!!!!!
NOTHING FOLLOWS---------

[choirmaster]

Hayaan niyo't pababasa ko kay "kuya" Raphy ang thread na ito para maaliw siya ng konti... kailangan niyang maaliw kasi paalis na si Portia papuntang Singapore, nanenok ng isang kumpanya... at this rate, wala nang matitira sa IT group ng BPI...

sa lahat ng pumapasok sa thread na ito at binoboto pa rin ang kanilang favorite university chorales: mabuhay kayo! Magagaling silang lahat, at lahat sila ay panalo in their own right.

Ngayon, if you could only translate your fervor for your own university choral group by attending ALL of their concerts... while you're at it, attend na rin kayo ng IBANG university choral groups para may comparison diba?

Kung hanggang sigaw lang kayo ng Go Glee Club, o Animo La Salle, o Go USTE! o kung ano man diyan, tapos wa naman kayo watch, e CHAKA NINYO! MANOOD NA LANG KAYO NG MGA ROCK BANDS AT IHAMPAS NINYO ANG ULO NINYO SA LEAD GUITAR, AT MAGBASA NA LANG KAYO NG PULP MAGAZINE NG TOWER RECORDS!

tama ka choirmaster. mabuhay!

[Boccelli]

Choirmaster...
Kamusta na ang mga happenings jan? Tapos na ba yung Bamboo Organ Festival? I hope makasend ka sa akin ng isang recording ng PCC.. kahit isa lang.. =)

Kelan nga pala alis ng ACGC for Europe?

By the way, Im leaving for Dublin next week? Nakapunta ka na ba dun? I don't know what cultural things i can check out there. All I have information as of the moment is the St. Patrick's Day celebration on the 17th of March. Sana ok dun.

To the Chorale, don't forget that VHS tape you will be sending me. Gusto ko lang makita ang sangkatutak na songs niyo na puro may solo....

Siga.. ingat kayong lahat!

[honey12]

:) of course, bawat univ chorale group magaling!!! they are all disciplined, well-trained and talented.......otherwise they woudn't be an institution for their respective universities and get invited to participate internationally......d:)

Up to now, eh napapangiti pa rin ako pag naaalala ko ang mga makamundong karanasan sa Big Easy. Kailangang magetch ko ang mga addresses ninyo nang makapagpadala ng mga pictorials. Email me at bacatan@yahoo.com

Harangking, kailangang gumoes ka rin ditrels at sangkaterbang babae ang masisilayan mong nagpapakita ng boobays na wala namang relevance sa amin ni johnvianney.

Bocelli, where are you now? Are you in Dublin? Why are you not manifesting your unholy presence in the egroup?

BTW, balita sa auditions na yan e si Ryan Cayabyab daw ang maghi-head ng panel?

Dina Sumising, Choirmaster, Harangking
Yes,korek na korek si ditcheng Dina sa kanyang observations about the whole Mardi Gras. Oh my gosh, pati ako naging lesboo na rin...cheering those model-like, sexy
girls and ladies...flashing their boobies..Siempre...I cant help but observe the testosteronic jubilations of the male species..Hayun in one dark corner..may I corner ang mga bagets na walang ka-mwang-mwang and entice them with my blinky beads (take note, ito ang high-tech beads with lights ekk na parang equivalent ng mga christmas parols na ginagawa sa Pampanga)
Eh ang mga konsintidorang mga girlash na jowa, ay siyang mag-co-convince sa kanilang men na mag-flash ng mga notay..eh di wala ng ligtas ang mga MINOLA..Nag-mistulang
donya buding at Gng Milyonarya (ala CHICHAY) ay iyong abang lingkod sa dami ng beads na ipinamudmod sa mga menchu menchaca...kasama na rin ang mga unwanted and unsolicited
flashings from the Women's sections...pero Kebs..feeling lesbotica na rin..

Correctshyen: Hindi si Ryan Cayabyab ang maghe-head ng panel sa auditions. The composition of the panel is a closely guarded secret chuva ekk...

Mega-prepare ka na ng two art songs pag pumunta ka sa Linden Suites... at huwag mo nang tanungin sa kanila kung ano ang art song at hindi nila alam... at kung tinanong mo kung ano ang art song, dahling, WALA KANG KARAPATANG SUMALI SA CHOIR NA YAN! Maglabandera ka na lang, o di kaya'y sumali ka na lang sa singing contest sa Barrio Taliptip ng Bulacan, Bulacan, baka manalo ka pa.

[Boccelli]

Ang taray talaga ng Choirmother namin.. very vivocious.
Gano ba talaga ka rami ang kukunin ng choir na itich?

[Dina Sumising]

CHOIRMASTER:

Sino pong tinatalakan niyo? Wawa naman yung bata at ngayon ay go-go na lang sya sa Bulacan to join a singing contest.

Mother, naread mo ba ang pinost namin ni Johnvianney tungkol sa makamundong Mardi Gras chuva? Kalowka!

Anyway, magpalamig na ng ulo at malapit na ang dream come true na Professional Choir ek!

Gusto kong tumili, "Join ka na lang kaya ng Barangay 25 choir?!" Joks lang... Sorry wala akong pasensiya sa mga bagay na ganyan. Yun lang...

[choirmaster]

O ano, natameme lahat ng oldies dito!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Mga muthrels, na-invade na ang ating turf!! Hahaha!!! Susuko ba kayo?

At kayo namang mga bagong salta, ano'ng K ninyo para bumoto ng inyong paboritong university choral group (tama, choral is spelled without an e)? E, wa naman kayo watch ng different choral groups, paano niyo nakukumpara? Dahil yung isa kumanta ng Da Coconut Nut, o yung isa kumanta ng Isang Linggong Pag-ibig? O dahil yung isa may encore ng theme from Hercules, tapos bongga yung ending? Bakit hindi na lang tayo gumawa ng concert na for example, nakalagay sa invitation 8 p.m. Tapos, magchi-chikahan lahat ng audience from 8 to 9:45 p.m., kasi wala namang kumakanta, kasi wala namang makikinig sa first half ng concert mo e. Tapos, at 9:45, lalabas na ang choir, kasi PURO ENCORE LANG NAMAN ANG INAABANGAN NG MGA MABABABAW NA HINAYUPAK NA MGA TINAMAAN NG LINTIK NA YAN, YUNG MATATAWA SILA O DI KAYA MALAKAS YUNG CHORD SA DULO! 30 minutes of that, meron ka nang INSTANT STANDING OVATION! Puro encores lang! Di va vong?!

Cheers to all from Dublin!
