just wanted to say that I MISS EVERYONE TRUCKLOADS and i'm super super super proud of everything you guys have accomplished. EVERYTHING. even with the changes that the choir is going through now (what with mr tay leaving :'( and changing comms and the new year and everything) please never forget the love you have for singing and your fellow choir members, because that's what's gonna keep you going through all the hard times.

work hard, play hard, and don't bully the comm.

Nintendo Accapella

Heyy guys! 

Hope y'all did well in CTs. Anyways. This is an AWESOME video. AWESOME. We should do this :D Hehe. It's AWESOME. :D 

It's a Nintendo accapella thing :D 

Anyways, remember to tell your SLs and ASLs the thumb drive thingy :] And there isn't choir til further notice :] 

THAAAAAAAAANKS :D 

Meesh :D

HEY GUYS:)

long time no see, miss you all:(

okay so here's the deal with the cantabile CD.
the disc doesn't burn copies on CDs no matter how many times i right click burn:S
i think you need a special kind of software. or hardware, i'm not sure.

SO if your computer can burn copies of the CD, you could drop me a message and i'll pass your the disc for you to burn yourself/whoever a copy?
ALTERNATIVELY, you could just download the content from the disc onto your computer. if you're using a mac, you can open the dvd player ->file ->open dvd media ->open the video file.
if you're using windows, i'm not sure, but it should work the same way.


PROBLEM WITH THE ALTERNATIVE IS, the file can't be sent as an email attachment, so i'll pass the SLs the soft copy and yall can get it from them? is that okay?:))))

but if you want it burned in a disc, i'll find a way to get the CD to you okay?:)))

sorry about all the inconvenience buddies, it might just be my computers that are ancient (not really, i don't know) or something.

MISS YOU ALL, SEE YOU SOON (hopefully)

love aly <3

GOOD LUCK FOR THE EXAMS PEOPLE.

<3 Janine :)

Hey Choir :)

Are you happy? We got GOLD WITH HONOURS! So cool right? I think we sounded amazing and we somehow managed to cut off well :)

Don't forget how we got here - by working really hard and doing not so fun things like details and more details. But it paid off didn't it? 

Let's continue to work hard for upcoming things like the July concert and for Founder's day.

But for now, just CELEBRATE because we got GOLD WITH HONOURS!!!   Oh yeah!

Love,

Me :)

p.s. I finally figured out how to post on the blog. Are you proud of me? XD

HEY GUYS!! =D
GUESS WHO? =)=)=)
Well, I know I'm alumni, and I dunno if I'm supposed to be able to post anymore (HEH!)
BUTTT, I really can't contain this!!!

WE ARE SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU!!!
GOOD JOB AT THE SYF!!!
GOLD WITH HONOURS YO! SHIOK TTM!!!

You girls have really done the school, teachers, conductors, and all us alumni proud. Thank you so much for all the hard work put in, and now you all know exactly what your limits are: LIMITLESS. (LOL!)
Remember at choir camp when we were discussing the expectations of the choir? I am very sure that you've proved to yourselves that working towards your expectations, though tough, is definitely worth the while.

Ms J Tham, Mr Tay, Ms Tham PW, Ms Ng and Mrs Heng, thank you so much for all the hard work you've put in! We know that he Choir could not have attained this height without your input. We really miss all of you, and we still keep in mind all that you have taught us! We really miss singing with the MGS Choir, under your baton, but we promise that we are doing our best to spread the joy of singing! =D

WELL. So in short, CONGRATULATIONS!
Tonight, as you all go to sleep, thank the Lord for blessing us, yea?
And don't forget to continue praising His name with your beautiful voices =)

Loving you always,
Eli Sayampanathan, on behalf of all Alumni

ps. We're really proud to be able to call ourselves Alumni of the MGS Choir. And one day, when all of you become alumni too, you'll understand...thank you for giving us this legacy Choir!!

So hey guys

well it's 2.25 in the morning and i somehow woke up in the middle of the night (that never ever happens) and I'm laying here and I can't get back to sleep so I thought why not post a little something something?:P

I think we've come a pretty long way in our prep for SYF and although it was mighty stressful and all I kinda had fun, did yall?

Anyway I wanted to say thank you all for making rehearsals so vibrant and interesting, thank you comm for keeping the choir going, thank you SLs & octet leaders for organizing practices, thank you newbies to being so diligent and thank you non-newbies for helping the newbies and everyone along.

And thank you teachers and conductors for all the support and for whipping us into shape.

Kay I"m kinda excited but kinda apprehensive, scared that I'll freakv out and goof or something, and that's bound to happen if I don't get enough sleep so I'd better stop blogging now.

See yall later peeps.

Intensity V.S. Volume

Hey guys, 


You know, for parts like bar 75 of the Icelandic Song, Mr Tay is always telling us to be quiet but intense! so guess wot? 


While I was studying, I came up with this great analogy. 


You know right, if you check out the shower in your bathroom. The tap can move vertically or horizontally? Well, let's just imagine, that you want cold water to come out in a big amount. You turn the tap sideways and upwards, right? 


So... in the same way, you have to go 2 directions when you are singing. Whether it's greater intensity or less intensity. Whether it's loud or soft and quiet. And BTW, loud does not mean greater intensity all the time okaay? 


I know this analogy is pretty funny. But I sing better when I imagine it as something else. Haha, am I weird? But I hope this helps you to see the difference, especially those newbies out there. (: 


Okay, let's pray hard for a GOLD WITH HONOURS for our SYF kay. But the thing is, we should just give our best. I think God will be pleased with that. 


Bye, (have to study for history nao) 


Barberella barberella barrrberellaaeee 


p.s guess who? 

HEY GUYS

okay sorry for the delay. okayokay.

Londali Bridge

hey all, so i'm using the blog for the first time - hey this is cool! :) Anyway, I've decided to upload this COOL AND EPIC pic from facebook so the juniors know what the actions for Londali Bridge are supposed to look like. COOL RIGHT? Okay so practise your scores and actions! 

so hey guys

hope yall had a good time and camp:)
and learnt aloooooooooot from mr turunen and mr tay and ms tham!
i know i did:)))))))))

okay i found Hjaðningaríma (bet you're wondering how i typed that out) on youchoob and it's titled Gjallarhorn- Hjaðningaríma (lyrics) 
and Gjallarhorn (according to wikipeed) is Jenny Wilhelm's band so i figured it's the one that mr turunen was telling us about, y'know the one with the didgeridoo?

anw i'm not sure if this is the original Jenny Wilhelm version.
it's a little different from the version we sing but pretty cool nonetheless.





(heehee see there how i make the video fit within the big white column i'm so proud of myself obsessive-compulsiveness [obsessiveness-compulsiveness?] isn't always bad)


yepp 
okay.

and that you all for making camp wonderful!
i had a great time with you guys:)

and practice hard for the auditions kay?
okay?
YAY.


see ya!

Hey guys

so i feel kinda bad for not posting so here i am.

okay so anyway keep up the good work and i hope y'all are looking forward to camp:D

and hey eli rachael and leekhim how's life?

okay byeeee.

helllooo choristers!

so... the blog has been dead for quite some time now so i decided to liven it up with a post. *crickets chirping*... okay anyway let's just get straight to the point:) for those of you who weren't at choir practice last Friday (and there were quite a lot of you), in a nutshell, we practiced the three SYF pieces, namely the wind, londali, and hiathningarima(is that how you spell it?). aaannd please remember that for the seniors are supposed to have memorised ( or at least internalised) these three pieces and (according to allison) SYF auditions are coming soon sooo if you still don't know your stuff you better make sure you do it or get someone to help you or else... okay i think that's all for now. remember that you chose choir and choir chose you so work hard and most importantly enjoy yourselves!(i got that from one of the older posts, i'm not sure which one but it really does make sense in a literal sense, doesn't it?)

loads of love,
Ankita

HULLO GUYS WE HAVE LIKE THREE GROUPS OF FACEBOOK SO LET'S JUST USE THIS ONE OKAY http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=24150599973 EXCEPT NICOLE AND LIZZY ARE STILL IN ADMIN UHH SUGGESTIONS ANYBODY TAAAAANKS

helloooo! ~

helllooo choristers! (:

hahah this is such a random post but it's the start of a new year of school! And isn't that just so soo awesome? (: Hehehe i know for some of us, it's kind of scary or intimidating being in a new class, or having to deal with so many scary subjects and all, but let's continue to stay excited and happy for the new year alright? A new year means new activities, new friends (yay can't wait for the new Sec 1s) and new songs! (:

For those who are graduating this year (Sec 4), make this year your best year! Sing your heart out for every practise and make choir practise your time to chill out and relax from your study schedule or something. Go and make the effort to get to know other people in the choir personally, make this year count! (: Be a legacy. Jiayouu to the veryveryveryvery maxx for your 'O's and remember alwaysalways that God is with you, yes? pl0xx please go study and make the choir proud!  

For the rest who are going to continue staying in choir this year, whoopee for you! Really continue to stay excited for this year! Don't come to practice every week looking and seeming so sianzz ... Put on a smile and be positive about choir practices ;D For example, instead of being so sian and unhappy, be happy and think of all the wonderful fellowship and friends you can make! Think of all the happy memories you'll make in the choir! Haha i know it's pretty lame ... but it makes a difference seeing the positive side of things! (: Let's all put in effort this year (SYF year) and really strive for our best (GOLD WITH HONOURS) Let's not be discouraged or demoralised even when we make mistakes! Let's really be determined and persevere to the end, alright? ON!

Anyway, after this superduperrr long post, i just want to end with this. I love it whenever the choir starts with prayer. Cause i feel that we are bringing God into the picture, which is just awesome and radical woohoo! So let's come to choir practise, and proclaim (not literally of course) that we want to depend on our God 100% and rely on His great strength, even if we are tired or weary or stressed etc. Let's not forget who we are really doing this for - our awesome God.

So let's start this new year with a BANG! kthxbai.

in God's great love,
ruijun

Hello Choir! =D

Righto. So, its New Year's Eve, and as the year 2010 officially draws to a close, so does my beloved mgchoir journey. I write this on behalf of the rest of the batch of 2010, who have walked this journey with me, and with you. For blur people, this summarises to the following : ELI's FAREWELL POST =)

I entered the mgs choir in 2007 as a wuss. Ms Tham PW is around to testify for my blur-ness. :D And it wasn't just me, but all those Sec 1s who joined the choir, not knowing what in the world we were in for. I mean, seriously, how hard would it seem when we were doing warm-ups? Literally, those were the WARM-UPS. But as the years went by, and more and more people my age joined the choir, well...we grew up. Well, not completely (heh!), but we did mature. And now, we are all proud to call ourselves alumni of the MGS Choir =D

I would like to thank the batch of 2010 for all the memories we've had together. Yes, there were hard times, but it was the struggles that actually made our celebration worth the while. Our Pizza Hut memories, with all the tabasco and pepsi and cherries...all the prank calls and early morning cup noodles meetings in Prague...the wide-awake moments during choir camps (every single one, without fail)...many many more. It's interesting that although, as a choir, we live to sing in big events, the real meaningful memories we have still lie in the everyday events.

To all still in the mgchoir (and those yet to come), I encourage you to choose your friends wisely. And make as many as possible. I am proud to say that the friends I made in choir have been some of my closest friends in MGS. =D Rachael, Moi, Ruth, Siying, Lee Khim and the rest, THANK YOU. =D I have no enemies in choir, okay? And I DO NOT believe anyone else has any either. We're a family, and will always be, yea? With God as our Father.

I would like to thank the comittee of 2010. Thank you for your enduring patience with all my failures, and thank you for working so hard to make this choir grow. I know that we have succeeded in many areas, and that the committee of 2011 will be there to make all our own failures their successes =)
Ruth: You have been an amazing VP, friend and supporter. Not just in choir, but in every aspect of my life. You were always there (next door!) when I needed someone to talk to, and I just hope I was there for you too. Thank you for always being the one to encourage me on, and support me in whatever I do! =D
Yann Ting: You have great potential, my friend. Use it for God's glory, okay? Thank you for being such a good VP. I will always remember you as being a voice for the people, standing up for the choir's needs. Lead the choir to greater heights, and never forget to give all glory to God. All the best for SYF!
Rachael: Fatass! I've had awesome times with you. Thank you for being such a dedicated committee member, being there to tie up all the loops and manage all the details. You've been so enthusiastic about choir, and that has been such a motivation for me. We shall continue being buddies for life, yeah? I LOVE YOU!
Daphne: Hello Ms Secretary! Thanks for keeping all the choir scores and tolerating me eventhough I nag so much. I'm sorry for always being at your back, I know that the Secretary's job is really difficult! Keep spreading your joy around to others, yea?
Chongs: Our dear SCs! Thanks for making the choir sound so great! The two of you have done such a good job, keeping the choir in good form. I know it would have been hard, having to take after such talented conductors like Ms Tham and Mr Tay, so THANK YOU =D I will never forget the CH-CH-CHONGS =D
SLs: You have the most exaustive job on the planet. Taking care of the needs of the people. Thank you for being such dedicated souls, and taking care of both the music and the admin in the choir. Thank you for your hearts and minds, always being in the choir, all the time. To present and future SLs, ALL THE BEST. It's a tough world! =)

TO TEACHERS AND CONDUCTORS:  Well, someone has to say it, so I shall say it =) YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST. Really. Thank you for all the dedication, blood, sweat, tears and strain that you've endured not just this year, but for the past umpteenth number of years, and will be enduring in future years. The MGS choir is really very privilaged to have you. The choir would not be who we are with any one of you removed from the equation. You have blessed our lives, so when the going gets tough, just know that we're actually a blessing in disguise =D

TO THE CHOIR OF 2010:  I LOVE YOU =D I really do. You have changed my life and....okay, whuutt-evah. Don't ever forget my shunshilk hair, and the schicken pie, and the cherry stems and my "chick" (check...) moments and every other little wincy detail we've had laughs about together. The hours clocked in for choir this year have been the best hours of my year. We are, with NO doubt, the AWESOMEST CCA MGS has. So do me a favour, would you? Make it your New Year's Resolution to make this fact known to the rest of the world ;D

TO THE CHOIR OF 2011 (and all future choirs): Choir, God has given each and every one of you BEAUTIFUL voices for the sole purpose of giving it back to Him. He has given you a good past, that cannot be changed. But He's also given you the gift of the future, which you can choose to mold in various ways. Please, PLEASE choose to make it good. SYF is coming up next year, and I have perfect confidence that we have the potential to attain a Gold with Honours. Commit every future endevour into His hands, and trust Him to lead and guide you to the right paths. The Alumni are looking forward to seeing you excel in every way in the coming year, and in the years ahead =)

As you can see, my summary writing is still fail. And I dearly hope that's not reflected in my 'O' Level Cert. I will miss all of you. Please don't forget me, cause I will NOT forget any of you =) To God Be The Glory.

Love,
Eli Sayampanathan
MGS Choir Alumni 2010

HEYY Y'ALL! :]


Sooooooo, we got our SYF set piece (IMPORTANT PIECE!) on Wednesday. Which means that you'll have to practice the piece. It's a nice piece so it should be fun to practice :D Hahas. The chorus bit is AWESOME. Hahahaha. Okayy. Anyways, try to practice the piece (A LOT A LOT) before the next rehearsal. Especially cause there's so much time in between sooooo, you should have time to practice the piece. :] OH! For those who didn't manage to come for rehearsal, whatever your reason was, the new piece is called The Wind by Kelly Tang. You can listen to the MIDI version on www.reverbnation.com/kellytang then under "songs", click "see all 61 songs" and scroll down til you find "The Wind (Demo)" then go listen to it :] It's really nice. For the people who were at rehearsal, you should have already done this. If not, please go listen and practice at the same time with your score. Okayyy. Have fun with whatever is left of the hols (which actually is quite a lot...). Byebye :]


Smiles, 
Michelle

Stuff to be Done This Wed

Dear Ladies,

Am very proud of what the choir has achieved in the past year and I thought we had a good performance - even though there were small iffy bits, we connected and communicated with the audience, the calm hope of "You are the New Day" as well as the ecstatic joy of "Laudate Dominum".  Kudos to Janice who did a fantastic job despite the last minute surprise sprung on her. 

I do hope this excellent onstage fearlessness, self-discipline (can always be better of course if we're twice more sensitive to our surroundings and the people around us) and good student leadership momentum will be passed on to future generations of MGS girls as a tradition that will last for the next 987654345674324567876543 years.  :)

While it is very good to have distinct goals in life e.g. a concert/competition/clock a gazillion NYAA points, I think it is just as important to understand/remember that goals should not be an end in itself - the process of getting there is just as important as life should be an exploration of what is, what is not, and what it can and should be.  For this purpose, we will read through pieces like the Holst Ave Maria and Wilhelms Hjathringarima just for fun.  :)

While there are many ways of looking at same thing, here are the tonal centers I think might be easiest for learning purposes:
Bar 01 Eb
Bar 17 Bb
Bar 21 Eb
Bar 29 F
Bar 34 Ab
Bar 39-end Eb
But of course, feel free to be flexible and find/use whatever works best for you.  There are no hard and fast rules in life.  :)
