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 yo 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 yo 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 yo 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 yo.. :) 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'yo 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...

TUNINGFORK:

Ano ba itong nababalitaan ko na "Don't even think of auditioning!" ekk galing sa singing group mo ekk? ANG MGA PRESS RELEASE! Nang-iintriga lang...

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.

[Euns]

I admire the UST Singers, they're really good but I'd say it's a tie bet. UST and the ATENEO COLLEGE GLEE CLUB and the Madz. They're all really good in their own way...with their own flavor in music. The ACGC has won soooooo much prizes in the span of their 3-month tour last year. They're participating in the Euro Grand Prix this year (same as the one UST participated in but they won second--sayang! madz won this a long time ago..97 i think).

GO ACGC!!!! GRABE KAYO!

[Euns]

And take note! Two memebers of the Ateneo Glee Club are from UST- John Pamintuan(Asst.-Conductor-ACGC;Conductor-AHSGC;a graduate of B.S.Medtech from UST-former UST-Pharmacy Glee Club(PGC) Conductor;music student of Conservatory of Music of UST) and Daphine {i forgot her new surname}(Alto of ACGC-B.S.Biochemistry graduate of UST;Former UST-PGC choirmaster)-purely Thomasians!(they are considered as section leaders for basses and alto's,respectively at ACGC)-And take note of the fact that THEY are niether a graduate nor a faculty member of Ateneo.They've been pirated from UST-'cause of thier singing ability! So if Ateneo Glee Club won the World Championship- it's not a 100% effort of ateneans only- also from 2 Thomasians.

UST Singers parin!
[/QUOTE]

Ano ba yan!! Sobra naman ang fighting spirit mo! No doubt John and Daphine have been valuable assets to the glee club (um..daphine wasn't a section head though..just to set the record straight..)but 2 UST Alumnis versus a bunch of Ateneans doesn't make the choir's triumphs UST's doesnt it?? It was a joint effort of EVERYONE representing and believing in the Atenean standard of excellence that has to be reached every time you carry the name of the ACGC.

Tonton is a colleague in the industry. He writes for the PDI. Grabe ang tagal niyang nawala. He's very quiet at mabait.

Umm...if no one answered your question...YUP! Tonton was part of the european tour cast!

Hey Euns,

Glad to see that you could join us. So what has been your favorite ACGC performance or more specifically what repertoire of the ACGC do you like best?

[chuvachuchu]

So, what happened to Mr. John Pamintuan? ACGC ano bang ginawa ninyo sa kanya? Teka muna pala, ano ba muna ang ginawa nya sa inyo? Nakakaloka ang mga trans pacific press release. Napa-log-in tuloy ang lola nyo.
Ang balita fresh from the land of Palawan, joinmity pala ang ate John sa HTC Chorale ng Puerto Princesa na fly na sa April patungong Greece, Germany, Italy, France and Spain sa tulong din ng tour manager ng Ateneo Glee Club? How true? At balita din namin may pirated na naman ang HTC from UST
(UST Singers ba?). For sure idea na naman ni ate John. Cruella ka talaga. Ano ba yan? Anong say ng conductor ng naghihingalong UST Singers? Kawawa naman sila.
Bakit ba kasi nauso ang pirate ekk sa mga choirs lalung lalo na sa mga university choirs. Ang dala-dala ay ang pangalang nga university pero hindi naman lahat from the same school. Di sana ang pangalan na lang ay Veneracion Navarro o kaya'y Calalang chuva ekk at hwag nga dalhin ang name ng university. o kaya'y PMS, PCC and the MASTER CHORALE ok pa. Pero kung hindi naman purely from the same school, anong essence ng name ng school? Diba mas masarap manalo kung you're all from the same school? it's like bringing the name of the Philippines pero may member kayo na German o kayay Espanyol chuva.
Kailan nga pala yong choral workshop sa AILM, tuloy kaya yon?
Balita dito sa Bay Area ay nandito daw si Fidel Calalang ng UST? Wala bang balita dyan sa Pinas? Kamusta na rin ang grupo nya?
Nakakainggit ngayon ang mga choirs sa Manila unlike during our time. Ariba ang Madz, Ateneo at UST Singers! At least now, hindi na masasabi na there's only one school who has the monopoly of everything(especially choral music). Kung ang Sweden ay haven ng choirs sa Europe, ano naman ang sa Asia, e di proud kami dito na it's the Philippines. True diba mga baklang manganganta? Samantalang dito, gusto ko ring suming pero boses lola ang mga choirs kaya ayaw kong mag joinmity.
Nonetheless, good luck ACGC and more power to the Madz, UST Singers and to all the Philippine choirs!We're proud of you.

Hehe..one of my favorites was when we sang in France the Cantique of Jean Racine. It was so emotional..and the people looked were tearing. As for Manila concerts..I don't remember na! Long time ago eh...

[Boccelli]

Oh.. so you were part of the ACGC before. Were you part of the batch during the early 80s? I heard they are one of the good batches of ACGC because of the competitions they won. Not saying that the other batches aren't good. :) Anyhoo, I know what you mean about getting so much from the crowd that's watching you perform. It really makes you give a good and unforgattable performance.

So is that why you call yourself Euns(eons) or does it stand for something else.. :)

p.s. boy do you write early .. unless of course you live in the US now or Europe. ;)

[sopranina]

Ohmigosh, Euns!!!!!! Shempre gulat ako to see na you have lots of messages posted here na rin. At shempre mejo ancient na yung mga messages na sinagot mo, hehehe. Uy, congrats nga pala... lam mo na kung ano tinutukoy ko. O, ciao na. Namamatay nako sa dami ng exams ko next week. Miss you... :)

... Boccelli, musta na? Oo, na may utang pa kong CD...

[Boccelli]

Grabe, galing mo talaga Sopranina.. you too the words right out of my nostrils.. i mean.. my mouth pala.. hehehehehe

When are you guys scheduled to leave?


TO anyone... where will the HTC Compete or perform in Europe... I hope I will be able to catch them.....=)

[sopranina]

Hay... ganda. shempre gising paren ako. Boccelli, FYI we're leaving May 24. Chika sakin ng isang tiga-GC May 18 daw farewell... yun ay kung interesado lang naman po kayong manood...

[Boccelli]

Ang Beautious mo talaga.. ever!.. heniway.. I will most likely watch that Concert!!! SA WAKAS!!!!.. Mapapanood ko na rin.. pwede ba akong mag video???? =) Ang cheesy no.. hehehehehehe
Starting now kasi gusto kong magcollect ng video tapes ng concerts na mapupuntahan ko .. hehehehe pero siyempre.. bibilhin ko pa rin yung CD... magkano nga ba ulit yun.. baka naman nagtaas na ang presyo.. alalahanin bumaba na ang Dollar!! :) O sige na... ikaw ha.. matulog ka na nga!!!.... :)

[sopranina]

I knew I'd get an instant response. Aba ma! Ewan ko kung magkano na yung CD. Pa reproduce pa siguro ang GC... Shempre di ako makatulog dahil kailangan ko tapusin ang research for a 10-page paper (na shempre crina-cram ko). Mamya naman grad ng little sis ko then I gotta study for an exam sa aking German class and for my Music Lit finals on Monday. ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Tapos 10 songs pa kakantahin ko sa voice exam ko sa Thurs... tapos... tapos... WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! good night na nga. are you still in Dublin?

[Boccelli]

Well, what I would do to be in ur shoes now... studies lang ang problema.... hay naku.. kaka miss ang school. Konti lang ang pressures. Yep, Im still in Dublin. Did you guys stay here when you competed sa Cork? What did you think about it. I haven't been to the country side coz of the sanctions they are imposing because of the Foot and Mouth Disease. I hope next weekend we could go to Kilkenny or Killarney. There's also this Cliffs of Moehr that my friend was suggesting that I go to. So many things to do so little time and it would be much better to go out with close friends. Hindi tuloy ako makagimik kahit na nakatira ako sa mismong gimik area(parang malaking Malate) It's like, pagbaba ko ng apartment ko, ayan, bar na or pub or a club would be around the corner. GOSH!!! oh well.. go to sleep and tomorrow things will be fine!!! :)

[choirmaster]

To EUNS:

Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!

[ardi]

to choirlowla,

SOS I need help. yung mga hindi nakapasa na Tenor 1 sa iyo baka puwede mo mai-recommend. I need a tenor 1 to go with us. Bigay ka naman sa akin. salamat

[choirmaster]

ARDI:

Ang auditions ng hinahanap mo ay sa Thursday pa. Will let you know. Kailan ang tour dates?

DINA SUMISING:

Lowla, kumusta ka na? Sorry kung wala akong time makipagchisimisan sa yo, parati kasi akong pahabol na nagbabasa ng e-mail ekk... kung minsan nga nakakalimutan ko nang sagutin ekk. Anyways, ingat ka lang at sana pagpalain ka sa lahat ng ginagawa mo. Puwera lang... yon!

BOCCELLI:

Hanggang kailan ka diyan sa Dublin ekk? Diyan ka na ba o babalik ka pa ng Chicago? Nahalikan mo na ba ang Blarney stone? Hindi na kailangan, kasi sobra ka na sa "gift of gab"! hehehe...

SA LAHAT NG MAG-A-AUDITION SA YOU-KNOW-WHERE:

HANDA NA BA KAYO(-ng machugi)? hehehe... ang higpit ng labanan! Some things you just have to take seriously. Hindi ito bara-barang kantahan, mga kapatid, kaya kung sideline lang ang hinahanap ninyo, sumali na lang kayo sa Barangay 25 choir!

[Boccelli]

Choirmaster,

Hangang holy week ako dito sa Dublin. Afterwards, fly home na sa Manila. Watch ako ng concert ng ACGC!!! :) (YEHEY)


DINA SUMISING,

I just learned Im not going to Chicago soon. Pwedeng ipapasend ko na lang sa address ng friend ko yung mga beadies. I will send you the address.. Thanks again ha! :)

[HarangJr.]

alam nyo, pinipilit kong pigilin ang sarili kong huwag patulan ang kababawan dito pero di ko na makayanan ang plastikan natin dito.

ang iba'y kunawari pang - "...goodluck sa inyo...sana manalo kayo...sana maganda performance nyo...ang galing galing nyo...bow kami sa inyo...etc..." pero ang katotohanan ng kanilang mga msgs eh (at the back of their minds) "...malasin sana kayo...sana matalo kayo...sana mag-flat kayo...mas magaling kami sa inyo...kami nananlo sa ganito...kami lalaban sa ganito-kyo hindi kasi mas magaling kami sa inyo blah blah...etc..."

kaya tingnan nyo nangyayari sa inyong lahat - ang Madrigal, na hanggang ngayon ay inaakala parin ng lahat na magaling pa din pero pinagsasawaan nalang ang kanilang "circles of life" et al sa kanilang repertiore dahil wala ng maisip kantahin - o wala ng kayang kantahin? ang UST Singers naman na inakala ko na pumalit sa Madrigal eh ngayoy nanlulumo sa kangkungan na hindi alam kung mabubuo pa o talagang malalampasan ng mga mapangarap na mga choir dyan sa tabitabi ng CCP. sayang kayo. ang ACGC naman na at the last moment ng kanilang preparations eh unti unting nauubusan ng magagaling na miyembro - pano na kayo sa pangarap nyong Grand Prix? at sa iba pang choir na nakikisingit sa mga pangalan ng mga choir na nabanggit ( na unti unti lumulubog at nagsisiraan ng hindi nila nalalaman...) mag-vocalize nalang kayo ng mabuti para makalaban din kayo kahit man lang sa Japan o kaya Mongolia Choral festival - para sure win kayo - para man lang gumanda mga write ups at mga press releases nyo. konting hasa pa...at pwede na kayong makisali sa pahanginan ng mga "magagaling" na choir.

pero - if there's any consolation...magagaling naman tayong lahat - kaya lang - hindi pa din mawala ang mga kaplastikan at siraan - nakakalungkot mang isipin - kadalasan nagmumula pa ito sa mga mismong mga lider ng ibang mga grupo...ang mga walang kamuwang muwang na mga miyembro eh nabubulagan at naiimpluwensyahan...kaya hindi alam ang mga sinasabi - tulad nalang ng mga previous posts dito -

sana ay kumanta kayo/tayo ng buong puso at ialay to sa nagiisang dahilan ng kagandahan ng ating mga boses, na kahit kailan eh pwede nyang bawiin dahil sa mga pinag-gagagawa natin sa isat isa.

[Boccelli]

Heniway,
mabalik tayo sa usapan.. choirmaster... when again is the concert of ACGC???

[sopranina]

Tama ka jan sa Heniway mo. Mabuti pa nga... :)

[Genius101]

Hmmm... Heniway talaga. :)

Kumusta na Bocelli?

[GadoGado]

hi euns!!! this is your shopping parter in milan.

[Boccelli]

Hey Sopranina...

Alalahanin na marami kaming manood sa inyo... oh, not sure if the Chorale is watching pero ako manonood.. yehey!!!!! Tapos... kita kits na lang for the CD na i-pu-purchase ko from you! Send me your text number ok. Here's my email address f5117@hotmail.com

Genius101... napagawi ka ata dito... how are you na? Gud lak talaga sa inyo at mapapa Kimchi kayo everyday!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[indiegirl]

[harangking]

Dina Sumising

Sana nandyan ako sa madri ek para na-sight ko and mga suso at dede nga mga hinayupak yan! Di ba, breast milk is stil best for babies until 28 yrs old!
RE the prof choir ek, blaha na si batman! Sa fri na ang sched ko, 830 ba naman ng umaga, tama ba naman yon?! If i don't get accepted, sasali na lang ako sa Krus na Ligas Funeral Choir at baka makasama pa ako sa tour nila sa isang cremation ceremony sa Timbuktu! Wish me luck. Ano na nga ulit ang "art song?"

Sa mga kinauukulan:

Kung totoo man yung mga charges at bintang nyo sa isang tao kaya napaalis sa pwesto, why don't you take it to the court, follow the proceedings and present proper evidences. Sino kayo para maghusga sa isang tao ng walang matibay na mga ebidensya? He didnt had the chance to defend himself properly because he was cornered. A person is INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty! Hind ko siya KINAKAMPIHAN, but i'm saying this because I don't want this thing to happen to me and neither to all of you!
What if the charges are WRONG?? Ano, sorry na lang? Matapos madungisan ang reputasyon niya? We are not the LAW! Daanin ba sa People power! Let's have some order here. This is a very serious matter and not a classroom issue! E kung sa inyo mangyari? Ang KARMA, mga kapatid!
Bato-bato sa langit, tamaan wag magagalit. Ang pikon laging talo. Peace.

[Boccelli]

harangking...
pa clarify nung last message mo... sino ba ang mga kinauukulan na ito? :)

[Genius101]

Boccelli: I read this thread regularly, di na nga lang ako nakakapagpost. Haha, good luck talaga sa amin sa land of Lee Kum Kee. Walang kapaguran ang gagawin namin don. Milagro siguro kung umuwi kami nang may boses pa.

Nga pala, bat ka pala tumawag? Practice kasi non e, at medyo bad mood si Sir.

[choirmaster]

To HARANGJR. and HARANGKING,

'ika nga ni Boccelli: HENIWAY...

Boccelli,

wa ko knows ang concert ng ACGC, maski na may i conduct ako on that night. Nasa ibang project pa ang utak ko.

Harangjr.,

I hope magaling kang kumanta sa koro, dahil pati respeto ay walang dapat ibigay sa yo. (Pinatulan ba!) Hindi kaplastikan ang tawag doon, kundi respeto sa ginagawa ng iba, at konting diplomasya, dalawang bagay na wala ka. Pag kumanta ka sa koro, marunong ka kayang maki-"blend"?

Harangking,

Ang mga press release!

[Boccelli]

BOW

[Zack]

Hey guys! Ive got a copy of the newest album of the Philippine Madrigal Singers.Its title is MADZ IN LOVE. A collection of love songs. So if you have the time, go and grab a copy.

[Boccelli]

Paging Genius101,
Pwedeng ibili mo ako nung MADZ CD na ina-advertise ni Zack... ayoko namang mahuli at baka paguwi ko jan from the land of the Leprichauns eh maubusan ako ng CD na yan!!

Babayaran kita ng limang pasong Shamrock plants! hahahahaha

Later!

[Boccelli]

Naku.. wala atang nag post today... oh well, here's your weather report. Its nice and semi sunny today in Ireland and just the right temperature. Tomorrow, expecting some showers but the rest of the day will be ideal for a last weekend filled with fun!!!

UUWI NA AKO NG MANILA.... YEHEY!!!!! :) :) :)

See you all soon!

[sopranini2]

Hello everyone! I am new here. I will be reading the previous posts before I jump in. But I know of some people here already --- allow me to say hello to THE choirmaster, sopranina, euns, gadogado, ardi, harangking, indiegirl, who else? Guess who?

[indiegirl]

tita n? :)

[shulien]

I totally agree with what someone posted WAY back about the Madz not even being in the same league as other university-based choral groups. They are after all, the PMS and not the UPMS. While it may be argued that choirs such as the DLSU Chorale, ACGC or UST Singers can compete with them musically at certain times, I think its whole legacy is pretty hard to equal.

We all know(well,most of us) that the Madz is the only Filipino choir which has won the European Gran Prix, and are well aware of its musical achievements internationally. Few, however, fail to recognize its important role right here at home. Madz et al, which is composed of choirs conducted by Madz members and alumni has in its roster quite a few of the up-and-coming university choirs (UPLB, UP Manila, UE, PWU)as well as countless church and company choirs. Madz, under Prof. Veneracion's leadership, has been quite instrumental in the growth of choral music locally as Et Al festivals provide venues for these 30 or so choirs to perform and encourage them to constantly go beyond themselves. Many Et Al choirs have even made names for themselves outside of Madz et al (Chorus Paulinus,Pansol Choir, etc...) and can hold their own against other choirs.

As far as repertoire goes, many choirs (not just Madz et al members) benefit from the choral arrangements of Madz members and alumni/ae such as Robert Delgado, Chris Borela, Annie Nepomuceno and Eudy Palaruan. No other Filipino choir can boast of such a rich collection of choral arrangements by its very own members. I will eat my left shoe if you can prove me wrong.

I could actually go on and talk about the Madz' choral clinics and outreach concerts all over the country but I think I've already made my point clear enough. To go just a little bit further though, Ma'am OA wasn't made National Artist for Music for nothing.

So if the PMS isn't the best university choir because it has surpassed that status, then who IS the best university choir?

Does it really matter?

[shulien]

P.S.
very much off the topic but could someone PLEASE tell me kung saan ako makakabili ng Tarot cards dito sa Pilipinas?
MARAMING SALAMAT!

[Boccelli]

Hi Shulien.. just an answer to your "Does it matter?" question.. actually personally I feel that it doesn't matter. We each have respect for one another. At least that's from my point of view. :)

[minette]

Oo nga. :) check ka dyan Kuya Boccelli!!!

[Boccelli]

Hi Minette,

Balita ko nagperform daw kayo sa AILM... so pano yan...

Choirmother... napanood mo ba ang performance ng Chorale?
I wanna get the juicy details.. how was it?

[dUnGeOn]

SHEMPRE CORO SAN BENILDO!!! DNA TINATANONG YUN!!! GO CSB!!!

[Monteverdi]

Bocelli,

Magaling ang performance ng Chorale. Fortunately, considering the infamous Manila traffic, I was able to catch their opening number...that Pater Noster by...i forgot! Well, balanced na uli ang sound cuz you've got equal number of singers in each section (4 each).

Just to tell you frankly...tindig balahibo lang ang performance (at least that's my opinion). Nice tuning, aided by the nice natural acoustics of Trinity chapel (yun ang sabi ni choirmaster na katabi ko nanood...)

Siyempre...may oddities pa rin...but nonetheless, it was a remarkable performance. Maganda din yung performance ng By and by...

The two italian madrigals also came off well...Vezzosi and Quel augellin...

Naku, email na nga lang ako sa iyo...

Sana mapanood ko rin yung iba...ACGC, UPSA, PCC, at MADZ... free lang ang concerts!

[Boccelli]

Monteverdi, thanks for the Review..highly appreciated..
Chorale..sino nga ba uli yung nagcompose nung Pater Noster na kinakanta niyo? Nikolas something..

I believe that arrangement was the one used in the Mendelssohn Competition in Polheim. Favorite ko nga yun...:)
Grabe, sing din nila ang By and By... waaaaaaaaa... i miss that song... solo ko dati yun .. pero dahil sa kakayosi.. hayan.. di na pwedeng kumasa ang boses ko.. WAAAAAAAAAAA

Sana marinig ko rin ang mga reviews ng mga ibang nanood..
See you all soon...

Monteverdi.. yung Mass in G ni Poulenc ha!!!!...
:)

sa power books meron marami don if ur a beginner mamili ka muna nung simple. meron ding nabibili sa mga inner depths of third floor viramall.

[johnvianney]

Shulien,
In response to yr msg about the Madz,agree ako dyan..spin
a win ika nga ni Jean Young (ewan ko kung pinanganak ka
noon at kilala mo ito). Anyway, galing ako sa grupo na ito
and i've sang for about 15 years on and off...nasa U.S.of A
na ako..So i'v gone thru the 89, 96, and the latest 97 European Grand Prix..what more can I say..I guess the plaudits will just have to be earned from the others who
are watching from the outside..

Choirmaster : Intrigued ako...sino ang mga nag-WINONA RYDER
sa just recently concluded eliminashens, or semi-finalists
or finalists ekk round of auditions..pls...give me very
interesting and juicy news.. Teynks..

[dagobert]

bocelli:

saan ang rampa natin this summer? pagudpud? pandan island? or boracay (this june c/o manong saint)? so, sing ka na uli with us?

[lil_chief]

galing, siyempre, U.P. MADZ! :) pero, galing din naman and DLSU Chorale...:) as for the others...di ko pa naririnig sila kumanta e...:)

[Boccelli]

Cheers Dagobert..
Pagdating ko na lang natin pagusapan. Malapit na naman ako umarrive jan eh.... wait na lang.. hehehehehehe Pero sing a song of sixpence na rin ang drama ko paguwi ko jan para enjoy ulit!! ;)

[choirmaster]

BOCCELLI:

Sorry ka na lang, kasi ang ganda ng concert ng DLSU ekk nung Monday. Maganda pala ang acoustics ng Cathedral of St. Mary and St. John sa Trinity College/ St. Luke's/ AILM ekk! Bagay na bagay sa acoustics ang sound ng DLSU that night... lumulutang in forward placement ekk! Pag nagpipiano lang sila, medyo drowned out by the traffic sa E. Rodriguez, otherwise ang ganda ng programming, etc. Wagi na naman ang DLSU at si Manong Boy! Maganda rin ang kanta nila Manong Mark at Pansol, at bagay rin sa acoustics ang kanilang Awit ni Solomon ni Mareng Robina Farms...

Wagi din on the second night ang UPSA at Ed Manguiat. May kinanta silang Feliciano na first time ko lang yata napakinggan... turns out na kinomisyon yata nila si Sir Kiko to do the work, Panalangin sa Bagong Milenyo... Ang joray! Hit din ang clean singing ng mga Chiang Kai Shek kids under Irma Tan Su. Medyo nagpanic lang sila ng konti kasi nasa stage na sila sa CRL, ang pianista ay may i practice pa sa dressing room ekk! Hayon tumugtog ng naka-T-shirt...

Wasn't able to watch Lola Robert at Asian Ensemble last night, kasi habang ako ay mega-bantay sa labas ng chapel ng AILM, call ang San Miguel ekk, punta ka rito ngayon din! (Ang mga press release!) So, I missed d whole show, pero balita ko hit din.

Wasn't able to watch Ateneo tonight also, kasi nagrehearse ang PCC, dahil kami naman bukas. Pero balita ko hit din ang Glee Club sa Cosmopolitan Church... ayaw daw paalisin ng tao.

Tomorrow na kami, at I'm sure hindi kami hit, kasi mainit na, tapos Vespers pa ang kakantahin namin... matulog na lang sila, okay pa! Lacrimosic, bagay na bagay sa Lenten ekk...

Sa Saturday naman ang Madz, at mukha yatang ililipat namin ang venue sa Cathedral of St. Mary and St. John uli, kasi mukhang dudumugin ng utash ang concert...

Pinakabongga ang concert series na itesh na naka-attach sa aming Workshop for Choral Conductors: Preparing choirs for competitions. You missed a whole week of free concerts by the best of the best ekk!

JohnVianney:

Saka ko na lang ibabalita ang mga nag-Wynona Ryder ekk sa San Miguel ekk... pero wagi ang mga kakilala metch... Papahirapan pa namin sila sa second audition ekk on Monday and Tuesday, with the matching sightreading... mangatog kayo! BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[harangking]

Mga hinayupak kayo! Hindi man lang kayo nag-iimbita na may concerts pala ngayong week! O baka naman ayaw nyo lang ma-chapter ng iba, charing! Peace to all. PCC pala tonight at AILM. Good luck sa mga career namin. Dala kayo unan at banig dahil comatosic ang repertoire para sa iba, pero para sa amin, dala kami beach towel dahil siguradong tagaktak ang pawis namin lahat mamya dahil sa ubod ng init sa venue! Aircooon! But its the perfect meditation music especially this lenten season. Pikit nyo lang mga mata nyo at magdasal.
People, watch out for the ACGC! The magic is back (di naman nawala), and of course the fruits of hard labor and sacrifice. Sana'y magwagi sila sa Germany at Hungary(EGP) sa ngalan ng ating ating bansa, at nang sa gayon ay hindi tayo lait-laitin ng mga puti!
Nakakatamad na sumulat dito. Alang thrill.
This is harangking, signing OFF.......

[Genius101]

Galing ng Ateneo!!!! May finals ako nung gabi na yon pero tinapos ko agad yung test ko para lang humabol. Fortunately I was still able to catch the 2nd and 3rd parts.

ACGC's performance that night was just so impressive... parang lumulutang ang mga boses. Sopranina, bow kami sa yo! It was such an improvement from the last performance I watched (nung kasama niyo yung Madz - pero magaling na rin kayo nun :)). With the way you sang, for sure malaki ang chance niyo sa Grand Prix.

I honestly hope that you win this year (walang kaplastikan yon... unlike what some person has said). The whole DLSU Chorale is cheering for you!

[minette]

Meron bang choir na aalis? Bakit parang walang nagpopost ng mga farewell concerts diyan? May news na aalis daw ang UPSA and MADZ? Is this right? Kelan ang farewell concert?

[Boccelli]

When is the ACGC farewell concert?

Choirmaster, Im in Manila na... yehey! Ang init nga! pero ok lang. I hope I will be able to catch shows while im in town... kaya sana i announce yung mga dates and venues and kung papano makakabili ng tickets!

thanks!

Sopranina.. yung CD ko... hehehehehe :)

[sopranina]

Boccelli,may e-mail ako sa iyo. Pagpasensyahan niyo na po. :)

[Boccelli]

Sopranina...
Orlok kasi ng orlok kaya yan... late ka na nakatulog!! :)

hihihihihihihi

Kamusta na ang Happy Easter mo?(Very M. Marquez ba? naku baka may kamaganak siya dito)

[sopranina]

Bocelli...
ORLOK KA JAN!!! hehehe. ok naman ang aking Happy Easter... hehe, sensha na ulit sa mga kamag-anakan ni Tita Mimilanie (?) na narito.

SHULIEN RE-TAROT CARDS:

I think merong tarot cards sa National Bookstore and the bookstore that has that CD store ek in SM Megamall.... tower records ba yun? Sorry, nakalimutan ko na, 2 years na akong wala dyan sa Pilipinas.

If you really need one, let me know and I can easily find one here in NYC. Yun nga lang sa June ko pa maipapadala sa yo coz sa June pa babalik ang aking mga friends from CHOPA.

LMK, ok?

[Dina Sumising]

HALLOOO, HALLOOO!!!

CHOIRLOWLA:

Kamusta na? Tapos na ba ang awdisyen ng Professional Choir chuva? Sino ang mga nagwinnie santos at ang mga naluz-valdez or luz-mirete(tama ba? sorry, panahon mo eh. LOL)????
Kwento naman dyan.

HARANGKING:

Ikakasal na ang ating kaibigan. Pakibulong, congratulations from me, ok???? Darating ang CHOPA dito next month (well West Coast na naman daw), pero maganda ang mailingn system dito so madaling makapagpadala ng kung ano man. Meron ka bang gustong ibilin? Ikaw din, CHOIRLOWLA. Utang na loob, wag akong paghanapin ng sapatos or kung ano-ano pang may mga fitting chuva. Cologne or eau de toilette, pwede pa. Email mo ko, tol. (Syeettt, mhin!). Hahahah.

BOCCELLI:

Kamusta na? Nasa Pinas ka na pala. I got your email. Hindi ko pa naipadala yung beadies chuva but I will this week. Can you send me the address of your friend ek?

AT SA MGA IBA PA: HELLO!!!!

[M_Lover]

Hey Bocelli. The first thing you must do is capture/extract or rip the audio from your tape by hooking your stereo to your pc. But first your soundcard should be top of the line and is capable of doing so. Me, I use a software called "creative recorder" for that. But any other sound editor software that can record will do, such as wavelab, cooledit, goldwave and the like. The file would be quite large because it's in .wav format. If you're satisfied with the quality of the sound, you can then directly burn it to cd, otherwise you can enhance/improve the sound quality (eliminate hiss, clicks and pops)to suit your taste by using the said program applications. If you wish to convert it to mp3, you can just "save as" mp3. Some like wavelab offer such conversions. Burning softwares can also do this. And these are availabe at your favorite pirated suking tindahan. There are cds sold that already include these softwares and more including score publishing softwares (finale and such). Punta ka sa Greenhills dami. :D

M_Lover, where are you from? Meron kasi akong naisip eh.... pwedeng ipagawa ko yung pag transfer to CD stuff sa yo.. gusto mo may bayad ;) wag lang masyadong mahal kasi baka maubos ang maney ko!... Watcha tink?

[M_Lover]

"Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day. Teach him to fish and he'll eat fish for the rest of his life." hehe :lol:
Ikaw na gumawa para matuto ka. Taga dyan-dyan lang ako kaya lang, busy na 'ko, tamad-tamad ko pa. If the contents of your tape is one of a kind, I mean stuff that can't be found anywhere else; personal recordings baga, eh you're making the right decision to transfer it to cd to lengthen its life expectancy so to speak. Pero kung songs or recordings lang naman, eh I suggest you just download it from somewhere. Try chatting with other users from Napster or Audiognome and maybe you guys can make arrangements for you to get these recordings from them. (You'd be amazed at the variety of music some people collect. Some of them they share quite sparingly.) My brother does that and some of them send him mp3 cds of songs he requested of them. Some come from as far as Europe even. Sometimes, he tells them to upload it to his locker at "myplay.com". I don't really know how that works, but people can really be so kind and helpful they'd do the uploading for you. Try it. Kasi, unless super ganda pa ng condition ng tape mo, e medyo madugo ang cleaning-up na gagawin mo diyan, lalo na kung meticulous ka when it comes to quality. There would be hissing of course.

Ikaw na gumawa para matuto ka. Taga dyan-dyan lang ako kaya lang, busy na 'ko, tamad-tamad ko pa. If the contents of your tape is one of a kind, I mean stuff that can't be found anywhere else; personal recordings baga, eh you're making the right decision to transfer it to cd to lengthen its life expectancy so to speak. Pero kung songs or recordings lang naman, eh I suggest you just download it from somewhere. Try chatting with other users from Napster or Audiognome and maybe you guys can make arrangements for you to get these recordings from them. (You'd be amazed at the variety of music some people collect. Some of them they share quite sparingly.) My brother does that and some of them send him mp3 cds of songs he requested of them. Some come from as far as Europe even. Sometimes, he tells them to upload it to his locker at "myplay.com". I don't really know how that works, but people can really be so kind and helpful they'd do the uploading for you. Try it. Kasi, unless super ganda pa ng condition ng tape mo, e medyo madugo ang cleaning-up na gagawin mo diyan, lalo na kung meticulous ka when it comes to quality. There would be hissing of course.

Ang haba ng speech ha!.. pero you have a very valid point.. makes so much sense.... marami ngang taong interested sa ganyan.. so SA KANILA KO NA LANG IPAPAGAWA.. :) kidding.. I will probably get the application sa isang turo turo ng mga pirated CDs. Pero wait... i have a feeling na kailangan ko pa ng sound card! gash!!!
hmmmmmm... anywhoo... thanks for the info and suggestments.

[M_Lover]

Oo nga pala I haven't made my vote pa on who I think is the best University choir. Sino nga kaya? Hmmmm...:rolleyes: Well, ACGC has been pretty consistent lately, although obvious that if certain key people aren't there eh ewan din. Same case with the Madz. Actually, as with any other choir. But if we're talking about track record, eh Madz pa rin. Medyo mahirap i-top ang achievements of different batches through the years. Kaya lang lately very inconsistent. Minsan galing, as in!:love: Minsan, eeh:boom: parang community choir. *****, if the ACGC would bag the Grand Prix this year eh medyo of the same league na rin sila. Kaya lang sino ba talaga conductor n'yo? Who gets the credit?:silly: Well, if the members aren't good..., the conductor can only do so much di ba?Competition is good. It keeps everybody on their toes. Pero syempre younger at mas vibrant(not associated with vibrato) ang ACGC. Madz? :crazy: sige na nga puwede na rin. That's the benefit of being an outsider. You see and hear everybody as they are--without bias nor prejudice.:D Teka, may nagpopost pa ba dito? Nalaos na yata bago ko nadiscover.:lol: IMBYERNA :angry:

M_LOVER: Huwag ka nang maimbyerna, binabasa ko pa rin ang mga haka-haka mo. Hindi ako masyadong makapagsalita kasi medyo imbolb ako sa mga choirs na binabanggit mo. Heniwey (ika nga ni Boccelli) natutuwa naman ako at may bagong pumapasok na kuro-kuro. Medyo nagkakainisan na kasi kami sa isa't isa... hehehe... joks lang, actually, ika nga ni harangjr., nagkakaplastikan lang daw kami dito. hehehehe... totoo ba yon, boccelli, monteverdi, sopranini este sopranina pala (kasi akala ko lahat nagtatapos sa -i)... heniwey again, sulat ka lang ha...

Huwag ka ring ma-imbiyerna, nakalimutan lang ng iyong mudrash na alam mo naman, Alzheimer's ang ekk! Heniwey, sa totoo lang, hindi ko pa maibroadcast ang hatol ng ginampalan sa San Miguel chuva ekk, kasi hindi pa official ang results. Medyo inaayos pa namin ekk... so, wait ka lang! May mga Chopa na nag-audition, pero hindi ko pa rin pwedeng sabihin kung sino ang pumasa.

You should hear their sightreading part! Ang masasabi ko lang ay: KALOWKA! Hindi magtatagal, wala nang marunong bumasa na voice major sa lahat ng colleges of music! Ngayon pa nga lang, wa na! Bakit ganon ano, ang may utak hindi marunong kumanta, at ang maganda ang boses hindi marunong bumasa! Oh well, you can't have everything...

I started rehearsing na with Ateneo last Monday and Tuesday... tonight din and tomorrow night. Major overhaul interpretation-wise on some of the pieces.

Oo nga nabasa ko yung "plastikan" comment na yan a few pages back. It's so sad to think that certain people have become so cynical they think everybody else is as insincere as they are:bop:. Sino yon? si harangjr. ba? Pare, reality check lang:). Not everybody thinks as you do. Your reality is not everybody else's. Some people did have a happy childhood:lol: you know, and when they say they wish you luck, they mean it, believe me. Although meron sigurong isa o dalawang plastik dyan, eh I think generalizing it is just too unfair:angry:. Naku, I would hate siguro to compliment you on anything. You will just think na nakikipagplastikan ako sayo. Sad no?:frown: Try keeping that frame of mind and soon you'll have no real friends. At Kung meron man, siguro nakikipagplastikan lang yun sayo. Next time, just say thank you ok? ACGC Good Luck sa Grand Prix! Win na kayo I'm sure!:love:

Anyhow, I think this Professional Choir will be the ultimate choir at least dito sa 'tin. Well, since its professional, it's not within the ranks of the University choirs we're discussing here. Imagine? The conductor has the opportunity to pick out the best singers around? Well, at least from among those who auditioned. Galing siguro:inluv:. Tapos award-winning pa ang conductor:*) (choirmaster). Excited nako to watch the inaugural concert:D. Choirmaster, ano bang offering n'yo?

Dina Sumising:
Di ba member ka ng AUIT dati? Gusto ko rin sila. Parang ang saya-saya:D pa rin nila kahit ganun kinakanta nila. I mean kahit mahirap yung kinakanta nila. Such beautiful people.

Hindi ko talaga ma-carry ang kabibuhan ni choirmaster... i guess it comes with the territory of being one of the more prominent figures in the scene. So you will update us on the developments of THE Professional Choir chuva...(yahoo)!!!

M_Lover... what's a good brand na CD-R? OO nga pala.. pano to, i don't have a desktop.. i use a laptop kasi.. meron bang external na CD-R drives??

CHOIRMASTER... when is ACGC's Farewell Concert??? Excited na ako.. di ko pa sila napapanood.. :(

SOPRANINA... I'll just await word from you if you do get copies of the CD. thanks!!

M_Lover... what's a good brand na CD-R? OO nga pala.. pano to, i don't have a desktop.. i use a laptop kasi.. meron bang external na CD-R drives??



Boccelli: Naku, mahihirapan ka ata kung laptop ang gamit mo. Kasi, your soundcard should have an input jack/port or what have you to capture sound. I don't know if built in laptop soundcards are capable of that. However, hooking your stereo to the microphone jack and recording would produce not so desirable results. Using that technique eh usually panget and labas. But you could try it anyway, haven't tried it yet. Moreover, your laptop should have considerable amount of diskspace because audio or .wav files occupy much space, at an average of 30MB per 3-minute song. Otherwise, it will crash. Your processor should also be quite fast to cope up with the real-time speed of the audio you are capturing.

Ay, oo nga ipagawa mo na lang nga. Sayang, I don't think we've ever met. I'd do it for you for free kung close tayo.hehe:D Ano ba kasing laman n'yang mga tapes na 'yan?

Ok lang naman ang mga cd-rs kahit cheap lang. However, to be sure and for utmost compatibility, buy a reliable brand like hewlett packard and the like.

Hey Kuya Boccelli!!! Buti naman kahit andito ka na sa Peylipins ay active ka pa rin dito... ako palagi na lang nagbabasa at no comment diyan. Tameme dahil engrande pala ang mga kasama sa diskusyon dito... ang mga choirmaster at lowla diyan... matataas... nakakahiya pong mag-comment! :) Parang feeling ko, nag-cocomment ako sa sinabi ni Sir Boy! Nyerks!!! :) Kahiya... anyway, may bago palang miyembro... :) hello M_lover... welcome!

Para po sa mga nagperform nung AILM (kahit ACGC (na super galing! as in!) lang napanood ko at and walang kamatayang-kagalingan ng MADZ, ay congratulations sa lahat. Di makapanood palagi dahil sa exam. Imaginin niyo, habang kumakanta ang mga choirs, eto kami't binubuno at iniisip kung puede bang ibenta ang isang hayop na may sakit at kung ano ang gagawin kung kanino na ang anak kung manganak ito sa possession ng seller pero perfected na ang contract of sale ekk... Sana nanood na lang ako... :)

Para naman sa mga aalis... we wish you luck (we-kasi im sure marami namang gustong sabihin 'to...) lalong lalo na sa mga competitions at festivals... pati sa mga concerts na rin... who know? you can never can tell ikaw nga ni ate vi... hehe....Oo no. kahit concert puedeng mag-a-downfall ang projection... :) Basta Good luck talaga!! As In!!! Itaguyod ang bandila ng Pilipinas!!! Mabuhay ang Pilipino! :)

I'm sure magkakakilala rin tayo someday since you're into the chorale scene din pala. Kaya lang gusto ko secret identity muna ako :D. Hey, just an idea. Why not join a choir now and make new memories? Pick your choice Madz, ACGC.... Non-exclusive na naman sila eh.

Yup.. medyo sentimental ang value niya to me. I would simply love to archive all those great performances on a cd.
I am part of a group naman eh pero hindi sobrang active. Its a group of former DLSU Chorale members. Masaya siya kasi wala masyadong pressure pero we still get to do what we want which is sing beautifully. Although wala nga lang si Sir Boy to conduct us, nandoon pa rin naman yung mga years of training that we got from Sir Boy so i would think we sound good pa rin. :)

yun lang po.. hihihihihi :D

CHOIRMASTER:

Sobra naman akong natuwa sa iyong mga hinanaing sa awdisyen. Madir, accept na lang po natin ang fact na hindi kilala ang filipinos for sight reading prowess. Talent in singing, quality of voice, yes, lalaban ang pinoy. Pero, sight-reading? Hmmm... ewan. Kailangan yatang i-upgrade ang musical chuva ng mga colleges of music, irequire uli ang solfeggio chuva, ibase kaya sa European standards? But I am sure, meron ding mga megatalented in sight reading pero gift na yan, madir. It's either you have it or you don't. I remember sa Phil. Chinugi na meron akong katabing AILM singer na tarush sa sightreading pero SO-SO ang boses, ikanga namin ni HarangKing eh "Madilim ang iyong paligid" ni Freddie Aguilar. LOL. Well, good luck po sa composition ng iyong new Professional Choir. I hope na pag-uwi ko dyan (kung kailan man ito) eh may performance kayo.

Choirlowla, as for the ACGS's "Major overhaul interpretation-wise on some of the pieces. Metronome markings not followed, At kung saan naman hindi naka-indicate, either masyadong mabilis or masyadong mabagal! kalowka":

MADIR, lahat yata ng choirs dyan sa Pilipinas (with the exception of course of the Philippine Chinugi Choir which is under your supervision), eh guilty of this. This is a common flaw. Mali-mali ang interpretesyen, hindi sinusundan ang mga metronome readings ek (kung alam ba nilang gamitin ang metronome in the first place ano!), ang mga gospel music eh tunog romantic pa rin, ang mga classical pieces eh tunog pop at kung ano-ano pang kacheapan. YES, NO DOUBT, minsan maganda ang tunog, malinis, maganda pakinggan. Pero, HELLO! MALI pa rin. Sorry sa mga natatamaan but this is true. Ika nga ni HarangKing, "Bato-bato sa langit, matamaan ay huwag magalit (or matamaan ay pangit)." Sa filipino audience, bongga yan kasi maganda sa pandinig. Pero kung international competisyens na, good luck sa mga careers nila.

Mabuti na lamang po at andyan ka Madir, at nagsheshare ng iyong mga musical experiences and expertise na natutunan mo sa Europa at kung saan-saan pa. I just hope na yung mga taong na-under sa iyo na naghahandle din ng ibang choirs eh ma-aaply ito sa kani-kanilang choirs para magkaroon naman ng sort of chorale excellence chuva at hindi lang maconcentrate sa mga university choirs ek. I can still remember my frustrations sa aking church choir (hindi ko na imemention ang pangalan ng group kahit minention mo na sa thread na ito, LOL, dahil baka may mga magalit) na walang sawa sa ritardando, sa fermata, kahit wala sa piyesa, na wala na ngang sense of rhythm and beat ek. Well, maganda nga ang tunog, wagi pa rin sa mga national competisyens, eh hindi ba nga't may mga US tours pa, but ewan ko kung papasa sa Europa. Buti na lang may PCC to get me going those days. Oh, well, those were the days.

GOOD LUCK CHOIRLOWLA SA EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX. Sana'y magwagi ang aking former University Choir. Mukha yatang nagbago na rin ng tradition ang Glee Club at may nabasa ako rito na hindi raw mavibrato ang GC. This I have to hear. Hello!!! Nung panahon ko sa GC at even nung mga batch '83 to '89 (those who went to Europe for competisyens and festivals), eh mega-vibrats ang GC, somewhere in between MADZ and the Camerata Singers/Phil. Saringhimig of yore. Ewan ko ba, madir but in the old days eh I feel na parang required na magvibrato dahil mas mature daw ang tunog, mas maganda. Yan tuloy, kung saan saang key nagtatapos ang mga kanta ng mga choirs dahil sa misconception na ito. At kawawa naman ang mga talented na singers na hanggang ngayon eh inu-UNLEARN pa ang vibratos chuva para magblend sa mga magagaling na choirs ek. Haaay naku!

O, ayan po ang napakahabang litanya. Mukha yatang magbabago na ako ng nick/handle/alias ditrels at I am thinking of joining a choir here in NYC na megaperform ng mga big pieces of BACH at kung ano-ano pa. Wish me luck at 2 years nang hindi kumakanta ang iyong ditse, madir.

Talaga namang mega-sulat ang mga drama natin nowadays! Ang John Pamintuan ay nag-lamyerda na sa Europa kasama ang Holy Trinity Grand Chorale under Errol Gallespen. Mega-production ang Holy Trinity of Palawan, kasi hindi lang sila choir, may dala pang dancers chuva ekk! I'm sure they will be a big hit.

Ang Choirlowla mo ay naaaliw pa sa kanyang opisina sa San Miguel. Kasalukuyan kong pinapaganda ang aking owpis, para pagdating mo ay mega-Megamall ang drama natin! Dahan-dahan na siyang nalalagyan ng mega-abubot na walang katuturan, at ang Choirmudrash naman ay isang corporate ekk na pumapasok ng Megamall tuwing lunchtime, with ID around the neck kasama ang hordes of other corporate ekk from ADB and SMC! Ma-imagine mo ba aketch mader! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Isa-isa nang tinatawagan ang mga nakapasa sa awdisyen... hindi ka pa ba natatawagan diyan? hehehe... ibig sabihin chugi ka, kasi dati kang member ng Philippine Chinugi... you must live up to your name, you know...

As for the sightreading ekk, it's the standards that are deteriorating. There must be something from way back na okay naman ang produkto (kami and batches before us) kaysa kinalikot ng kinalikot ang curriculum, hanggang makarating sa kinaroroonan ngayon - wala nang marunong bumasa. Bongga!

Ano ba ang ipakakanta ko sa choir ko mother? Hanapan mo naman ako ng maganda at hindi masyadong mabigat sa tenga (tulad ng mga Lauridsen ekk). Yon lang...

[enteng.00]

Sopranina,

grabe na 'to!
syempre, tuwa naman ako at nakilala na kita personally. shocked naman daw ako dahil bago palang ako magpakilala/ipakilala eh knew mo na yata kung *** ako! nagulat ako sa repetiore nyo kagabi - yun na ba talaga yung kakantahin nyo sa june? grabe yun ha! di naman kayo mukhang pinapatay. anyway, lam ko na bc ka kaya matatagalan pa para makapagreply ka! basta gud luck sa inyo!!! the thing that you've performed kagabi was great, i would just like to ask for more!!! anyway, c u! hi nadin kay pol and lex!

JOHNNYBBAD:

HOY, atih! Kamusta ka na? Kilala mo ako at lumaki tayo sa ating church choir sa Kamias (FREEDOM CHOIR, LOL).

Good luck sa European Grand Prix. Who would have thought that the Glee Club will reach this far? After the '89 group of legendary Arlene Bigornia, Dada De Pano, The Company chuva eh mukhang hindi na sila masusurpassed especially when Joel left (our time, remember?).

Anyway, I am very happy for you and the Glee Club. Oveerrrrrr na ang tagal mo dyan sa glee club ah! As in.

Chika naman dyan ok?

Madir JohnnyBBad:

Walang hadahan sa Central Park, madir. Julie Andrews or baka ma-Cheryl Tiegs (tigbak) ang beauty mo at makaencounter ka ng mga serial ek chuva dun. Madaraming hadahan dito so goodbye to parkchuvas of yore except for that one park in Boston. LOL. Kalowka! Mga New Orleans Chuva Mardi Gras ang dramay dito... as in nakakalowka ang mga menthol! As IN!

Hay ayun...mala-land of almuranas sa anghang ng pagkain. Ang kimchi pala ay di lang iisa. Dito pechay kimchi lang. Doon, merong kimching pipino, kimching isda, kimching tubig at iba pang klase ng kimchi. Pero ang favorite na pagkain ng chorale ay ang mixed rice na tinatawag na Bibimpap. Hay naku... we await the day na ma-ban ang bibimpap sa mundo. :) Siyempre pagkain na naman ang unang dinescribe ng ate. As for the performances, medyo magulo ang scheduling kaya medyo kainis pero hindi naman masyado kasi they treated us well. Repertoire naman, merong concerts na medyo heavy yung repertoire (para sa akin ha, ewan ko sa iba) and meron din namang light. Ang babait ng audience. Kaya lang mamamaos ka talaga sa lamig at pagod. Super lamig pala doon as in parang nakakasugat yung lamig lalo na nung gabi pagdating namin. Nung paalis na kami, di na masyadong malamig pero mas malamig pa rin compared dito sa Pilipinas. Ang enet naman kasi dits eh. Yun lamang po. :) Uy, pasabay ako sa concert ng Ateneo ha. :)

[Zack]

Magbebenta ba kayo ng CD niyo on the concert dates posted??

[minette]

For sale pala... 5110 na second hand, good condition and 3 free na casing... free na rin operator logo of your choice... P2500 only. Just text me or contact any chorale member (DLSU ha?) Thanks!

[M_Lover]

Wala lang. :)

[Boccelli]

Hi guys,

Ilang tulog na lang.. concert nanaman.. im soooo excited grabeeeee(mala ruffa-rigno)

Heniway, JBBadd.. thanks for the tickets.. kunin ko na lang sa booth pati bayad there na lang.

I saw Sweet Plantado last night at Linden Suites. She's so galing:) nakakatense yung mga songs niya na ang taas nung key na tinugtog from the original.

ACGC.. anong batch ng Glee Club ulit yung members ng The Company?

Yun lang..

TO ACGC--> I am wishing you da gud lak... but it doesn't defend on da gud lak, but on you!... :)

INGATS!

[JohnnyBBad]

The original Company was a group of 12 alumni guys and gals from the '81 and '83 batches. They originally started yata as a harang group that sang at the old Italian Village restaurant (yata) alaong Quezon Ave. It slowly dwindled down to about half their number when they hit the music mainstream, but most of them still joined the ACGC in the '89 European tour. After they realesed their first album, Tom Callisterio left the group and was replaced by Reuben Laurente. Meus Bartoleme (the girl in the "Everlasting Love" duet), also left shortly after that, and was replaced by a succession of sopranos, the latest being Sweet Plantado <----- amazing gurhl, can do pop and classical really well :)

Sa lahat ng nanood kanina sa concert namin sa CRL, maraming salamat po. At huwag no pong kakalimutan din ang concert namin sa Sabado po, 7 pm sa Philam Life Auditorium.

Any feedback, constructive or otherwise, is higly apprciated (cross my fingers! :P) heheheheheheh

[kobe20]

gud day!
i've been following this thread since it was cited as one of the most famous topic here in pex. by the way,im a junior correspondent nga pala from a big network and we covered the gathering of Ched yesterday and the day before it at the Manila Midtown. what's the relation of that on what have forced me to comment in here?...it's becoz may isang very famous na choir ang kumanata sa culminating program ng ched yesterday - nabalita na sila dito na naghihingalo at nagkawatak watak na pero bat ganun,nagulat ako at nakakanta pa sila kahapon - isa pa sa nakakagulat, kakaiba tunog nila...parang hindi nanggaling sa crisis! i've been a follower of the choral music scene here in the country since my good ol'days sa up. nagulat ako dahil akala ko eh tuluyan ng mawawala ang choir na ito. in a way, natuwa din ako na bumalik na sila - the university presidents and officials there were 'wowed' because of their
unimaginable performance, iba talaga - i hope that the rehabilitation of this choir should be tuloy tuloy na...and to my favorite - MADZ - iba pa din kayo...anyway, yun palang ang chika ko.

[M_Lover]

chaka english. hehe joke lang :)

Sandali lang, musicians have been using the word "harang" since time immemorial. Does anybody know where it came from? Etymology ba. It's really been bothering me :bonkself: Oo really talaga. :rotfl:

[Zack]

Hala! bat di niyo kinanta yung nonot kamo kanako? :tampo:
by the way, impressive ang rendition ng lucis creator.... :balloon: mabuhay ateneo glee club at nawaý iuwi ang pinakamimithing tropeo...:flower:

[M_Lover]

Congratulations to the Ateneo Glee Club! I'm sure it's in the bag na! :bungi: Rina, Robin, Papu, Gideon, Jolegs and Aggie, hoy pasalubong ko ha! hehe Pabigay n'yo na lang kay Niner. :bigeyes:

[Boccelli]

BWAHAHAHAHAHA... what a Saburdei...

Heto na ang hatol.... WINNER!

I wasn't too familiar with most of the songs in the repertoire... I didn't even get to see the "menu".
All i remembered were a few that really caught my attention.

Awit ni Solomon -> Amazing piece... very ... INTENSE! I commend the arranger/composer?

Libera Me(not sure if im right all i remembered was that it was the first or second song after the intermission that was Latin) but heniway... first time i've hear it... GALING!

I Cannot Dance, O Lord -> what a great piece! and just awesome performance of it.

Pamugun -> now I know what this song is... I have constantly heard about it but haven't really heard it.. at least I got to hear one of the best interpretations of it from one of the best choirs in the world. :)

Comments gathered from friends Saturday night during gimik:
...very close to Eastern European Choirs but with the Filipino edge!
...linis ng mga tira and pianissimo
...Galing talaga ni sopranina tumira ng high notes na walang effort!... ever ka girl!


Again.. CONGRATULATIONS to the Ateneo College Glee Club...
May you come home with trophies in hand and your foot in the ground...WE WILL PRAY FOR YOUR SUCCESS!!

please say hit to meanne for me...

NGA PALA: uhm... kung pupunta kayong slovenia... pwedeng pabili ng some small decorative item.. please.. :) thank you.. hihihihihihi

[enteng.00]
