Esplanade Presents...
Limelight - Celebrating Life, with Song
by the Methodist Girls' School Choir
7th April 2009, Tuesday
7.30pm
Esplanade Concert Hall
Ticket Price: $20 (concession for Students, NSF and Senior Citizens: $15)
Tickets can be bought from Esplanade Box Office and SISTIC's authorised agents
Songs are found in every culture and woven into daily life. While there are those that are from our childhood or tell of stories long ago, there are some which are part of rituals, and others which sing of the dance in our heart and feet .
From the sacred poetry Hildegarde von Bingen and the kulning calls of Swedish folk-hymn to the island dances of Japan and the sassy skirt-twirling dances of Latin America, The Methodist Girls’ School Choir celebrates life in every aspect, through song in this special choral performance.
About the Methodist Girls' School Choir
The Methodist Girls’ School Choir has been sharing the joy of music and singing through performances and competitions since their formation. One of 30 school choirs on Singapore’s Ministry of Education’s Choral Excellence Programme, the choir received the Gold award for the 4th Ambassador of the Arts Awards (2004) and has consistently achieved Gold awards in the biennial Singapore Youth Festival Central Judging Choir Competition. Representing Singapore in international festival-competitions, the Choir has toured San Francisco (1999), Athens (2004), Bratislava (2007) and Prague (2007) and returned with excellent results.
Coached by Ms Jennifer Tham since 1998 and Albert Tay since 2005, the choir’s wide-ranging repertoire embraces the work of living composers, contemporary sacred and art music as well as spiritual and gospel.

CANTABILE 2008

anyway, i'm here to say, on behalf of all the sec fours, that you guys delivered an absolutely delightful performance tonight and we are so extremely and incredibly proud of you all. we, your lovely seniors, had a wonderful time cheering you on, and you simply cannot imagine how much we wished we were up there on stage with you. but that aside, tonight was your night. and you totally owned it!
i'll tell you this: God loves the mg choir.
i miss you guys!
all my love,
claire

yourselves.
we have worked so hard for this, and what we saw today was just awesome. AWEsome. AWEMUCH. hahahaha. see! isnt this much better than disappointing ourselves, hahaha. :Di will forever cherish every memory made, every note sung, every scream uh screamed, every heart that made today such a success.we didnt just make everyone around us proud,we impressed them and blew their socks off. or shoes. whichever.
to the mgchoir comm 2007-2008:
we made it.
and now, it's time for us to hand over and take the lead (yet again) to bring the choir to greater heights.
to the awesomest president i've ever seen: RACHEL CHIU BOBO.
i'll never forget everything you've done for me. i'll never forget the really difficult times we had when we first started working together. it wasnt easy; IT WAS DIFFICULT, but we did it. we did it! we're the best pair of boboheads ANYONE has ever seen. I LOVE YOU, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! :D:D
to the most incredibly patient secretary: NICOLE CHEE.
i seriously hate your job, HAHAHAHA. i'm sorry i just have to say this. but oh well, you rock at it so who's complaining but you? hahahahaha. LOVE YOU SO MUCH, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING THESE PAST FEW/MANY YEARS. :D:D continue singing for the glory of God, yes! :D

to the mgchoir comm 2008-2009:

to the awesome powerpuff girls: MS THAM PEI WEN, MS ANGELA NG, MRS CHERIE HENG.
i'll never forget everything you've done for us. never ever. imagine us without you! ah hahaha. your guidance, love, support, encouragement and care is GREATLY APPRECIATED.
to the two loveliest conductors: MS JENNIFER THAM AND MR ALBERT TAY.
thank you both SO MUCH for everything you've given to us, the music, the passion, the life. without you two, we (literally) wouldnt have been up on stage. except for chispa and las amarillas, of course.

and the smiles, they were blinding.
for once.
I LOVE YOU ALL.
XOXO.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
mg choir concert was a blast.
i think the choir really just... went on to stage and just... enjoyed what they were singing
although most songs were rushed or out of tune, i think we really put in everything that we have learnt from all the past practices and rehearsals.
abba was fabulous. we really just enjoyed it and sang out. the audience was wonderful.
and to see all our old friends again was amazing. grace, feli, qing, enqi, rachel, patty, nicole, etc seeing all of them again was just... so awesome. and anna, jan, michelle chan, abi, roxanne, suat, all those from 3t and 3g. you guys were such an awesome audience and such good friends. i will never forget you guys for coming to support us. you guys are just great.
tjc was great too. i loved their dance moves. they did it with so much energy. i wish i could dance as well as them. HAHA.
we couldn't start dancing queen properly!!! HAHAHAHAHA and the encore was worse. HAHAHAA. but it was fun, cos we just sang and didn't care. HAHAHA.
after that when we went backstage, my ears were practically bleeding from all the screaming. it was like
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
non-stop.
so fun, i haven't screamed like that in such a long time. just couldn't stop screaming. HAHA.
and all our old friends came back to give us flowers. it was so sweet. i can never thank them enough. my gratitude towards them can't be put in words.
good job mg choir.
i can't believe this is my last day as an sl.
i love you guys sop ones. you guys are a great bunch and are lovely people to be with. and you ALL have amazing voices, unique voices. and it's really an honor be your leader. i know you guys have always been putting in your all and i thank you guys for that. i will never forget this experience of being an sl of you guys. i hope you guys continue to grow to be better singers and better performers. i will always be supporting all of you. and i'll be there if you need me.
i really can't believe it's my last day as an sl.
i hope i did well. i hope you guys continue to grow and love not only the choir, but music more each day. you guys have such great voices and it's been an honor.
:)
i will never forget all my experiences with all of you as an sl.
hope you won't too.
but i know that all this isn't about us. it just goes to show how faithful God is. He truly is miraculous in helping and guiding us through everything.
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks unto the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich
Because of what the Lord has done for us"
God is amazing. and all this goes back to Him.
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
here in the love of Christ I stand
it's overwhelming. gosh, this really is my favourite song...
tonight has been so wonderful. everything passed so fast.. but they will remain in my heart and my mind forever.

CHOIR!
Hello,
so Founder's Day has passed. done better than i had expected it, what with the microphone system and dry acoustics in the hall etc. dont be discouraged, though, those of you who had hoped to have performed better. i'm sure our concert will be a BLAST. everything is working out pretty well now! besides choreo, but thats a whole different thing.
anyway,
28 JULY 2008 MONDAY (which is tomorrow)
CHINESE CHAPEL (haha however strange it sounds)
please remember your black files and to MEET OUTSIDE THE HALL (like usual) AT 6.45 AM SHARP. late comers will be fined with jumping jacks. :D
i've drawn up so new logos for the choir, so i'll just put them on here.
hahaha sorry my handwriting is kind of standard. anyone who has new ideas/designs please FEEL FREE to share them with the comm and the choir. the old logo is a little bit outdated, haha. here's what the old logo looks like, btw:
perform well tomorrow! but remember, it's for the glory of God's name.
till then, Elizabeth.

upcomings
HELLO CHOIR!
Important, please note that we will be rehearsing with the String Ensemble for the Founder's Day item. Here are the details (so make sure you've all gotten your music right by then!)
16 July (Wednesday)
3-3.30pm
Secondary School Hall
Also, practices are now extended by half an hour (i.e. ends at 6pm instead of 5.30pm). Please make any necessary arrangements.
Reminder that ALL THREE South American pieces are to be memorised by this week (9/7, 11/7 pracs). Yassa Bushi (and Yagi Bushi) is also to be memorised by the 18/7. To put things into better perspective, we have 11 practices until our concert and only 7 of them are conductor-led. I really hope you feel the urgency of things now.
I know we can put up a really great performance this year! :D it's just a bridge between potential and performance, so make sure you give everything your all. We're not just singers, by the way, we're performers, and we dont want half-hearted performers on stage. Alright, i shall stop nagging (:
thanks!
Elizabeth
PS some of you would have been invited to the MGS Choir group on facebook. those on facebook who havent been invited please request for an invite. :D

HELLO CHOIR!
on behalf of the entire committee, as well as all the sec 4s,
a very big thank you to all of you
for making the sec 4 farewell party such a success.
thank you for putting in the effort to ensure that the little notes and letters were sincere and came from your heart. i can tell you that the sec 4s really appreciate it.
thank you all for being so lovely and discreet. without your discretion we would NEVER have pulled it off (until rachel chiu went to open the video herself. but nevermind).
if you all have any pictures from the sec 4 farewell, please send them to me at chanmqe@gmail.com . PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
and if any of you still have things to say to the sec 4s, don't worry, because they're not going to be gone so soon.
and the last thing i have to say is, enjoy your time in the mgchoir. because it'll be ending really soon, right sec 3s? ):
(hints intended)
STUDY HARD FOR THE MIDYEARS AND DO YOURSELF PROUD! :D
love,
Elizabeth.

Reflections
One more day of carolling
Three more days till we sing on stage
Five more days till we fly off
Do youthink feel we're ready?
I feel we ARE ready; we just need the confidence and independance, as well as, inter-dependance. I'm so excited at the thought that we'll be performing in a totally foreign (to me) country, and knowing that we'll come out of it stronger than before. But then again, predicting the future is bad bad bad--that is, without evidence.
Carolling today: 291107
Felt that uncommercialised homes were more sincere. the first home (Singapore Christian Home for the Aged) really touched me, and I'm sure the occupants did to most of us. I really enjoyed singing for them; even though we weren't exactly at our best what with the conditions and difficulties, we still managed to bring joy to them. :D
St. Luke's Hospital was fine, although I felt we didn't have much time to interact with the old people (but I'm sure Gabby did AHAHAHA). Our octet (OCTET 3 <3) did EXTREMELY well, right? we brought tears to one of the "Less Responsive" guys on the fourth level when we sang Little Lambs.
Bright Vision. i kinda figured out why they didnt want us to carol carol. they were in fact a buddhist home. whoops. haha. nevertheless, we still managed to bring JOY to them. many quirky and cute characters there hahaaa. i'm sure you all know what i'm talking about:D
this is elizabeth, btw, in case you haven't figured it out yet!
i still feel a few of us have to work on the issue of complaining at any and every chance you get, although i know it's difficult to adjust so quickly. try, at least, if you cant be thankful for the difficulties, be thankful in them. you'll find this familiar overseas (And also if you read this post).
We can do it!
YES WE CAN.
much love,
elizabeth♥

Yagi Bushi
Hello! i think this is the translation of Yagi Bushi :)
The famous Kunisada Chuji was born in renowned Kunisada Village, Sawagori District, Joshu Province. His father's name was Chubei; Chuji was their second son. Born with a chivalrous spirit, he would willingly fight to help others.
He became a great gambling boss, envied by all. In 1846, mid-autumn, he built a gambling palace. There he passed each day in gaming battles - today, tomorrow, everyday.
Well, I'd like to continue this tale further: a long and skilful performance would be wonderful. But a long and untalented one would upset the gathering, so as voices cry out "Stop! Stop!", I'll halt my tale right here.
