hello, haven been posting since my first post, but do expect this in future because i am a very lazy person haha. Philwinds finally resume practice and the attendance was pretty bad, but rehearsel wasn't so bad. Our next concert on 7 december 1930 hours and at Esplanade. Do come and support!
Theme: "Classics Less Heard in Singapore" Repertoire: William Byrd Suite A Saxaphone Concerto Music for Prague La fiesta Mexicana (i think?)
So do come! Classics! and yup its only 4 pieces HAHA. Pretty rare for wind band concert eh? this means that each piece is gonna be pretty long~
Went pass a friend's blog and she talked to me too. And this made me ponder too. After graduation from poly, where am i going? Seriously, Music VS Engineering, i still do not know which to choose. I love Music, i like to play i like to perform. But i do not hate engineering. However, given what i have now, in terms of my clarinet skills, i can't be a music student. I know nuts about music history, competition is fierce among clarinetists i know. Gods like Ivan, Victor, Jeremy Chua and Ralph are really a threat in music, if i'm serious about furthering music.
I asked myself, what can i do if i really graduate from a music conservatory? 1) be a clarinet tutor 2) a performer But come on man, clarinet tutor, u think u can teach better then ur own teacher from SSO? People like Desmond and Ivan teach so well too, doubt i can compete with them. Then now left with performing. Perform? Where? Orchestra? Soloist? haha thats impossible. Music really left me with very little opportunities but i really love playing. So i guess i'll just be loyal to my own feelings and be a full time music lover. Play in ensembles to continue clarinet playing. Hopefully after graduation i can go overseas to continue Aero. Also, i thought, if i really hack care aero, then why do i chiong so hard for GPA 3.9 and Dip plus? hm... if i don continue aero, wouldn't it be wasteful? aiyo so mah fan...tsk haha.
F1 just ended and it was WOW! COOL! Pretty dramatic, Ferrari was really lack of luck, Massa too, what a pity. I think Hamilton was the only one more consistent and Alonso was really good and lucky! Congrats.
OMG! and i think i'm going crazy le! argh!! Friday was really a happy happy day for me:D haha can't stop smiling after going home, i even dreamt about her omg! Ridiculous! haha went for a movie, Painted Skin. Well the movie was so so only, i'll rate it 6/10. Not fantastic, plot abit weird, and kinda like the typical romance movie, predictable ending. ya a little disappointment i will say. But get to watch with her wasn't :D:D HAHA HAPPY!!!!
ok then enough of the yacking. Jiarong's Sharing Session (learn from wenshao HAHA).
Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody 2 by TOM AND JERRY :D
This is the serious one HAHA, By BPO conducted by Karajan. BRAVISSIMO
HAHA next one is shared by Fidah, Comedian pianist Victor Borge.
That's Tchaikovsky's First piano concerto if u don't know, u can find the serious full version performed by BPO under Sir Simon Rattle too.
Enjoy, that's all for now. Good night :D
