我朋友連續第三次寫了一些感想~~~ This is definitely the best performance I have seen of the NTU choir. The good singing, musical selections and arrangements, stage presence, and spirit of the conductors and pianists have made this performance a memorable one. The beautiful blending and powerful delivery have held the audience captive. As you said, there are several new members. The only familiar face I saw was the short tenor. Gone were the ones from Mama Mia cast, like the tall, fair guy with curly hair. Among the new members was a Middle-Eastern looking lady with very curly hair and thick eyebrows. The performance was also made unique/enjoyable by having several soloists with varying voice qualities. I particularly enjoyed the duet of the 2 sopranos. It was such a beautiful piece, and the choir has done justice to the song. The pronunciation of the English songs was so clear that I was able to understand most lyrics. The conductress skillfully assigned solo parts to the voices which suit the material and for this, she is to be commended. It was pure joy to listen to fortissimo tapering off to pianissimo at the end, with such control and beauty. The choir has mastered doing this, which must have been a result of practice and discipline. Not to belittle the past soprano groups, I think this set of sopranos is the best ever, as you have several ladies who can sing solo. The conductress must be very happy to have such a talented cast. The male group was already strong right from the time I started going to the performance so I can not add any more comment about them. Although I liked all the songs they have chosen for the performance, Sanctus and the Chinese song arranged by a student who is now in Berkeley are at the top of my list for favorites. It was good to hear popular songs like Bridge over Troubled Water and Scarborough Fair sang well and with beautiful arrangements for the choir. END --
