<description><![CDATA[In June 2007, I had been playing the baritone in a small local wind orchestra in the Kfar Yona conse]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>In June 2007, I had been playing the baritone in a small local wind orchestra in the Kfar Yona conservatory near my home for about 5 years, when a new conductor arrived. Yaakov Kling introduced himself as the conductor of numerous orchestras throughout the country during his 40year career. (He started when he was 18) He said he was the current conductor of the Youth Orchestra of Ramat Gan (a large city bordering Tel Aviv). I didn’t think much of it. But soon we were playing much more interesting music and in a short time, our sound improved. This guy really seemed to know what he was doing.</p>
<p>Just a couple of weeks after he’d been working with us, Yaakov approached me and started telling me about his Ramat Gan Youth orchestra and how they were planning to do a music tour of Florida in the Winter of 2007 that would include visiting and performing at my hero’s creation, Disney World!</p>
<p>Yaakov asked me if I was interested in coming to their rehearsals to see about joining that orchestra. Boy was I!! Yaakov explained that they needed a baritone and in fact hadn’t had one in the orchestra for three years.</p>
<p>There was one small issue &#8211; how was I going to get from my village to the city and back two evenings a week. My last foray into the public transportation jungle didn’t go very well. About three years prior, I had been offered a summer job in Netanya, a city near my village. I had never taken any public transportation at that point. I was OK on the bus from here to Netanya but when I had to figure out how to get a bus or public cab to the job, I was horrified because I couldn’t figure it out. I got totally turned around – north, south, east, west. I asked people and bus drivers, but I couldn’t understand how to get there. Finally after a bunch of phone calls and an hour of going in circles around the central bus station in Netanya, I finally made my way to the job. But it was just too much for me to handle at the time. My parents and I agreed to let the job go.</p>
<p>Somehow that nightmare didn’t impede my willingness to give this a chance. Maybe it was because it was three years since it happened or maybe it was my determination not to miss this opportunity no matter what. We thought one of my parents would have to accompany me on the first trip to the Ramat Gan Conservatory. But I told them I was sure I could do it this time. (and I know they weren&#8217;t thrilled with the idea of riding the bus all that way, sitting around for a 2hr rehearsal and then riding back.) They gave me the exact stop on the train where I should exit. I also had the address of the place. We agreed that if a bus was too complicated from the train station, that I should take a taxi this once. It would be the first time I traveled so far from home alone. (Sometimes I get upset about the fact that kids younger than me can do these things I can&#8217;t or know things I don&#8217;t or understand things I don&#8217;t get.  But then I&#8217;ll talk about it with my mother or older brother. They always help me see that it really doesn&#8217;t matter what others do or how.  I have to look at my own situation and be happy with my achievements within it.  Sometimes it&#8217;s really hard to remember. But that&#8217;s the way it is. So I learned to cope and be open to learning even from kids younger than me.)</p>
<p>I was advised that I should take my national ID to show the security guard at the train station so he wouldn’t have to open my instrument case. It all went really smoothly. I exited the train at the right station, found a taxi and arrived at the conservatory with time to spare. After that first trip and until today, I get myself to the youth orchestra by bus or train and bus on my own, on time and with no hitches.</p>
<p>From my first rehearsal with them, I loved the atmosphere of the new orchestra! It was the first time I participated in something that serious. The one near home was all beginners. This one was comprised of kids who’d been playing for many years and at a relatively high level. It was really fun to be with kids who were closer to my age even though I didn’t really talk to them. I still had this problem of not being able to talk to my peers and not knowing how to make friends. Nonetheless I was happy in the atmosphere of the kids being serious about their music. I loved the fun music we played and my important role as the only baritone.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Tay is on fire with &#8220;You You You&#8221;. We are seeing more and more of side &#8220;H&#8221; for hot! This masterpiece of near musical perfection is like a gift so near the holidays. The song starts in signature Tay Zonday style then transitions to a faster, deeper, sometimes echoing musing on love, want, desire, and longing. Barry White is gone but if Tay wished he could have overwhelmed us with a firestorm of guttural growls. Instead, he purposely emits a warm steady fire that slowly touches without burning.</p>
<p>The background for the video set the right tone for it&#8217;s fast pace. Hearing the song first you expect a scene similar to &#8220;Cherry Chocolate Rain&#8221;. Instead, we are left with imagery harkening to an outdoor concert. Not closed off at all but visuals full of freedom and expression.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZ8URhMkf7o"></a></p>

<description><![CDATA[The axolotl is the best known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders. Axolotls are used extensivel]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>The axolotl is the best known of the Mexican neotenic mole salamanders. Axolotls are used extensively in scientific research due to their ability to regenerate body parts. As pets, they are popular with teenagers as they remind them of themselves, – happy to lie in their own filth, and completely inert unless feeding or mating. I wonder if this blog isn&#8217;t a bit of an axolotl at times, in as much as it tends to sink to the bottom of the tank if I don&#8217;t feed it. You&#8217;ll recognize these idle, first-paragraph meanderings as those of a writer summoning inspiration, then again you might not, but if you do, and you are still with me, and you&#8217;re not averse to the odd comma, then your perseverance is extraordinary! Such loyalty deserves an explanation&#8230;</p>
<p>I&#8217;m currently on leave from the band, so I&#8217;m out of the loop for a while. As mentioned in an earlier post, we&#8217;re planning to cycle the Otago Rail Trail in early December and, what with the out-of-town event itself <em>and</em> the arduous training regime (pah), I didn&#8217;t feel I could do the charts justice for the forthcoming Cathedral Christmas Concert so I decided to step down. Consequently, the posts might be slower, somewhat less immediate, and possibly not band-related (remind me to tell you about my brush with norovirus some time, then again, perhaps not).</p>
<p>I circulated an email round the membership yesterday touting for news tips and hot gossip, but I only got two replies. One was a plea from a baritone player suggesting I write a feature on “Baratones” (sic). The other was from MD Graham Hickman suggesting, with a smiley face attached, that if I wanted to know what was going on, then I needed to get my fat a*** down to the band room. Fair call.</p>
<p><a href="http://woolstonian.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cameron-hoy.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1507 alignright" title="Cameron Hoy" src="http://woolstonian.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/cameron-hoy.jpg" alt="" width="163" height="220" /></a> Seen and Noted: Woolston Concert Band member Cameron Hoy appeared in yesterday morning&#8217;s paper in a shot illustrating a story about NCEA exams (he had just finished the English paper). A man in his own right, Cam is of course also the Grandson of the late Des, and Son of Brent. A few pages later in the same edition of The Press, Phil Johnston and Jess Blair appeared performing a haka with the NZ Army Band.</p>

<p>Scotsman John Dunlop was a veterinary surgeon and a good friend of Queen Victoria. I don&#8217;t know if he ever operated on a distraught teenager&#8217;s ailing axolotl, but I do know that in 1887 he developed the first inflatable rubber tyre. However, his application to patent his invention was rejected as another Scottish inventor, Robert William Thomson, had patented the idea in France in 1846. But Dunlop’s actual production of the pneumatic tyre arrived at a crucial time in the development of the transport industry and it is his name that we first associate with the pneumatic tyre to this day.</p>
<p>Perversely coincident with all this was the invention, or at least the advent, of the puncture and the mending thereof. So puncture repair became a rite-of-passage handed down from father to son, or so it was with my generation anyway. I can&#8217;t look at a set of tyre levers or a repair kit without hearing my father&#8217;s gentle voice issuing instructions. Those instructions included a step whereby the newly-patched inner tube was dusted with ‘French Chalk’ (Calcium Carbonate/unscented talc) to prevent it sticking to the inside of the tyre, so I was a bit perturbed when I couldn&#8217;t find any in the kit I&#8217;d bought.</p>
<p>No one at Mitre 10 has any idea what French Chalk is. Some of the older hands did remember it was something that ‘used to come in puncture repair kits’, but no, I&#8217;d need to go to a specialist bike shop. The guy in the specialist bike shop had heard of the practice of dusting repairs with chalk, but&#8230; and then he uttered the lightening-bolt words that struck me dumb.</p>
<p>‘We don&#8217;t actually repair punctures any more, we just put a whole new tube in’.</p>
<p>‘Wha&#8230;’?</p>
<p>‘&#8230;only costs eight bucks for a new tube as against thirty for my time to repair a puncture, so it makes sense&#8230;’</p>
<p>It did make sense. The carbon footprint might have been size 18, but there was no denying the logic, or the disturbing fact that here was yet another irrefutable indication that I have grown old and the world has moved on without me. I bought a couple of his chinese tubes and, as I contemplated the possibility that I might be the end of the puncture-repairing line, tossed the useless repair kit in the red-lidded (out-and-out rubbish) wheelie bin. No Grandchild of mine will need to know how to mend a puncture. It&#8217;s probably a good thing, they&#8217;ll be too busy juggling their gadgets and admiring their axolotls.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Whilst attending the Gaither Homecoming Concert in Glasgow, Scotland last month, we were greeted wit]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;">Whilst attending the Gaither Homecoming Concert in Glasgow, Scotland last month, we were greeted with the news that Ernie Haase &#38; Signature Sound would be returning to the UK in February 2010. I had been informed of this by a good friend who had attended the Belfast concert a few nights previous. Exciting stuff to say the least.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">For the benefit of any UK readers of this blog here is the UK Tour breakdown of venues and tickets -</p>
<ol style="text-align:justify;">
<li style="text-align:justify;">First up is my home country of Northern Ireland. On Friday 19th February 2010 at Assembly Buildings, Belfast, you can catch Ernie and the boys live. Tickets are only £19 and this represents fabulous value for money! Tickets are available from Faith Mission Belfast or Portadown. Tickets are also available from <a href="www.erniehaasetour.co.uk">www.erniehaasetour.co.uk </a></li>
<li>The next destination of the tour is in Scotland. The venue is a Church called Findlay Memorial in Glasgow. Tickets are also available from <a href="http://www.erniehaasetour.co.uk">www.erniehaasetour.co.uk</a> and from the Wesley Owen bookshop at their Glasgow branch.</li>
<li>Finishing off the tour is a lovely location in London, namely City Temple, Old Hoburn. Again the tickets are available from <a href="http://www.erniehaasetour.co.uk">www.erniehaasetour.co.uk</a></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">This is fabulous news for Southern Gospel fans and for fans of Ernie Haase &#38; Signature Sound from within the UK. What it demonstrates for me is the sort of growth and success that Signature Sound have managed to achieve. To undertake a tour of this magnitude is a big challenge. I have only covered the UK segment of the tour, the entire European Tour looks likely to spread over the 11th  to the 21st of February.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">From a personal perspective, i am delighted about the prospect of having an EHSS solo concert. Whilst i thoroughly enjoyed the Gaither Homecoming Concerts, i always have hoped and wished that one day EHSS would come back on their own and we would get to experience a full length concert. At last, it seems, i will have another experience to remember and cherish! I plan to attend at least one, most likely two of the concerts, so you can expect a concert review or two in February 2010!</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">All tickets available from <a href="http://www.erniehaasetour.co.uk">www.erniehaasetour.co.uk</a>, just click on the relevant icon for the venue where you wish to attend. I would book as soon as one can, i would doubt that tickets for these events will hang around. Book now and tick off the days!</p>

In &#8220;Baby I&#8217;m Not&#8221; Tay has made great use of not only his musical skills but also that great voice. I like his videos best when it&#8217;s just Tay and his keyboard. I must say that this song has it all.  He&#8217;s singing about the universal language in a very classy way. Fantastic! See and listen for yourself.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.paulirwinmusic.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-92 aligncenter" title="forgive_album" src="http://southerngospel.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/forgive_album.jpg" alt="forgive_album" width="227" height="228" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The following CD Review is of a local artist who resides in my own country of Northern Ireland. Paul Irwin commenced his singing ministry at the tender age of 16,  at a Gospel Mission close to his hometown of Fivemiletown. Since then, Paul has had the opportunity to present the Gospel through song all over Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and in Scotland.  Paul counts this as a tremendous privilege and blessing to be able to share the Gospel through the very accessible medium of song.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Paul&#8217;s musical influences are derived mainly from the Southern Gospel and Contemporary genres. His all time favourite vocalist would be Steve Green.  Guy Penrod, David Phelps and Marshall Hall would also be stylistic influences. In terms of groups in Southern Gospel, Paul draws upon material that the Gaither Vocal Band, Greater Vision, Ernie Haase &#38; Signature Sound and many others have recorded. When you consider all the different influences and contrasting styles of music that each artist contributes, what Paul then translates into each project is a great mix of material, from &#8220;Because He Lives&#8221; to more modern day classics such as &#8220;Thank You for The Cross&#8221;.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">&#8220;Forgive Me&#8221; is Paul Irwin&#8217;s fourth album. I feel that with each release the level of quality goes up another notch. This is in terms of the vocals, production and basically everything! The initial projects were of a high standard, but Paul is raising the bar in terms of quality, the quality of the song selection, vocals, tracks and the aesthetic appeal of the CD case and contents. The presentation, CD inlay and the photography are of a standard similar to what the Gaither Vocal Band, Ernie Haase &#38; Signature Sound or any other &#8220;big-name&#8221; group would produce. It is the simple little things like this which often can be overlooked, yet make such a big difference in the final equation.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The song selection has something for everyone. This is not to say that it is a mishmash of genres and stylings, rather it is a carefully pieced together collection of material that anyone can comfortably listen too all the way through. Often i find myself skipping tracks on other projects just to get to the favourites, but not on this project.  One thing  i particularly like about the project as a whole was the use of new tracks. The project does not always have the same track that other artists have used. For example on &#8220;He Made A Change&#8221; the track used was not the same one that Ernie Haase &#38; Signature Sound used on &#8220;Get Away Jordan&#8221;. It is different and this really does allow for new interpretations which gives the listener a more original experience. Another big plus for me is the clarity and diction that Paul uses in his vocals. Nothing annoys me more than an artist performing a song where you have to struggle to make out the words. You do not have this problem on a Paul Irwin project. Every word is clear and concise without being too &#8220;proper&#8221; or compromising the musicality of the song.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Track Listing</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Favourite Song of All</li>
<li>There Is A Fountain</li>
<li>He Made A Change</li>
<li>He Could Have Called Ten Thousand Angels</li>
<li>Thank You For The Cross</li>
<li>Go Ask</li>
<li>When He Comes Again</li>
<li>Tears Are A Language</li>
<li>Jesus What A Friend</li>
<li>Forgive Me</li>
<li>Favourite Song of All (Reprise)</li>
</ol>
<p>Standout tracks would have to be &#8220;There Is A  Fountain&#8221;, &#8220;He Made a Change&#8221;, &#8220;He Could Have Called Ten Thousand Angels&#8221;, &#8220;Go Ask&#8221; and &#8220;Jesus What A Friend&#8221;. These are my personal favourites, the entire album is very strong indeed. &#8220;Go Ask&#8221; is what i would have envisioned the Gaither Vocal Band version had Guy Penrod had the lead for example. it was also nice to hear it being sung, instead of being partly recited like ol&#8217; Bill!! On &#8220;He Made A Change&#8221; there is a strong progressive feel and an element of  Michael English thrown in for good measure. This works very well and slots into one of my all time favourite cuts of this song.</p>
<p>The album is not, however, a collection of  parodies of other artists. It is original and fresh, injecting new life into older songs, and putting a new perspective on others. I would highly recommend this album to anyone who enjoys  Southern Gospel, Gospel or Contemporary Gospel music.</p>
<p>The album is available from <a href="http://paulirwinmusic.com">www.paulirwinmusic.com</a>.  You can also purchase Paul&#8217;s preceeding album, &#8220;Castles In The Sand&#8221;. The website also has booking details, photos and a biography. You can also listen to some samples of the latest project. Be sure to listen, purchase and let me know what you think. If you have ever wondered what Southern Gospel, Gospel or whatever you wish to label SG, sounded like from a Northern Irish perspective, you will not be disappointed.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>When I was in high school I played the flute in the concert band and the marching band.  I am the very slender, very short marcher over there on the left of the picture. </p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-5886 alignleft" style="margin-left:0;margin-right:10px;" title="BCC Marching Band" src="http://torchlakeviews.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/bcc-marching-band.jpg" alt="BCC Marching Band" width="487" height="348" /></p>
<p>I never excelled at playing, but I was competent, and I learned a lot about music and teamwork and perspective.  I developed a lifelong appreciation for the importance of the arts in public school education.  I also fell in love with jazz and longed to play the alto sax, but that&#8217;s another story.</p>
<p>Along the way I learned to identify a whole lot of instruments and their various shiny parts.  That explains a little interchange at the market last week.  I looked at the fat silver object young Brett pulled out of his pocket along with his change and said, &#8220;Whoa!  That&#8217;s no trumpet mouthpiece.  What do you play, a baritone?&#8221; </p>
<p>Big grin.  He&#8217;s working on the baritone to begin with, he told me.  He hopes to master the trombone so that he can be in the Jazz Band.  He has a loaner that he can use at school, but he has no instrument to practice on at home.  His mother was there, too, and she said they had been looking at rentals, but Holy Wah large brass instruments are pricey, and the passions of middle school students are notoriously fickle.  Well, I had a little idea. </p>
<p>I decided to ask if you have an instrument case tucked away in your attic.  I know how it goes.  You play in high school, maybe a little in college.  You stop playing, but you keep the instrument, because after all maybe your kids will use it someday.  Your kids, of course, want to play <em>different</em> instruments.  That, too, is how it goes.  Your instrument stays in its case in the back of your closet, unplayed. </p>
<p>If your instrument case happens to contain a baritone or a trombone, you might consider lending it to young Brett, or making him a good deal on a purchase.  Think of all the closet space you&#8217;ll gain.  If that sounds like an interesting idea, send me an email or a comment and I&#8217;ll put you in touch with Brett and his mom. </p>
<p>Um, if that instrument case happens to contain an alto saxophone, you might let me know about that, too.  I&#8217;ve been talking to my friend Helmy who has known me a <em>very </em>long time, and he has expressed utter contempt for the notion that it is too late for me to pursue old dreams.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_3034" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3034 " title="#9840-(can't-see-face)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9840-cant-see-face.jpg" alt="Who's hiding behind the baritone?" width="400" height="440" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Who&#39;s hiding behind the baritone?</p></div>
<p>Remember that high school <a title="Friday Night Lights" href="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/2009/09/16/friday-night-lights-for-the-bogus-pro-photographer/" target="_blank">football game </a>I shot last Friday night under the lights? You didn&#8217;t think I would forget about taking pictures of the band and dance team now, did you?</p>
<p>Especially since the boys&#8217; high school&#8217;s marching band and Angels dance team are worth the price of admission . . . even when our football team is struggling.</p>
<div id="attachment_3033" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3033" title="#9837-(baritone-part.-hidden)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9837-baritone-part-hidden.jpg" alt="The baritone horn sounds great but reveals little of the musician!" width="500" height="508" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The baritone horn sounds great but reveals little of the musician&#39;s face!</p></div>
<p>I was as excited about shooting photos of the band and Angels with the sideline pass as I was football. These kids are some of our school&#8217;s best athletes! The musicians are able to play while marching to and fro, backwards and sideways, all without knocking down any of the dancers. And the Angels are leaping about while staying out of the way of the big tubas. It&#8217;s entertainment at its very best!</p>
<p>But for a photographer, it can be an exercise in frustration. Take the poor lighting causing you to shoot at high ISOs (I was at ISO 2000 even wide open at f/2.8 with my Nikon D300 and Nikon 70-200mm lens). Then add to it hats pulled down so the musicians&#8217; eyes are shaded and horn bells that can completely cover up the players&#8217; faces. I&#8217;m not trying to take photos of musical instruments for catalogs, for goodness sake! Faces are everything.</p>
<div id="attachment_3027" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3027" title="#9781-(euphonium)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9781-euphonium.jpg" alt="A better shot of a baritone player" width="500" height="442" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A better shot of a baritone player</p></div>
<p>It meant that I had to shoot some of the musicians a little off center in order to not have their instruments obscuring their faces. It was an interesting photography lesson in patience and timing for me.</p>
<div id="attachment_3035" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3035 " title="#9844-(alex)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9844-alex.jpg" alt="Alex gives the baritone his all." width="400" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Alex gives the baritone his all.</p></div>
<p>And I also got a lesson in some of the different face-obscuring instruments, thanks to my &#8220;half&#8221; son <a title="Happy Birthday to My Half Son" href="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/2009/07/02/happy-birthday-to-my-half-son/" target="_blank">Chase</a>, who is a marching band veteran. So now I know that the first four musicians pictured are playing the baritone horn. Chase says it looks similar to the mellophone, which is a marching French horn but sounds deeper. Who am I to dispute that? I just take the photos.</p>
<div id="attachment_3032" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3032 " title="#9836-(euph)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9836-euph.jpg" alt="The euphonium doesn't obscure faces." width="400" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The euphonium doesn&#39;t obscure faces.</p></div>
<p>Here&#8217;s the euphonium, which I like, because the bell doesn&#8217;t block faces. But look at that hat shading his eyes! Sometimes you just can&#8217;t win when it comes to snapping band photos.</p>
<div id="attachment_3028" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3028" title="#9783-(trumpet-w_bokeh)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9783-trumpet-w_bokeh.jpg" alt="Trumpeter (love that bokeh-ed background!)" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Trumpeter (love that bokeh-ed background!)</p></div>
<p>As long as you don&#8217;t shoot straight on, you easily can capture the trumpeters&#8217; faces.</p>
<div id="attachment_3031" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3031 " title="#9835-(trombone)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9835-trombone.jpg" alt="Trombonist" width="400" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Trombonist</p></div>
<p>Same thing for trombonists.</p>
<div id="attachment_3029" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3029 " title="#9810-(piccolo)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9810-piccolo.jpg" alt="Love those smaller instruments!" width="400" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Love those smaller instruments!</p></div>
<p>Those piccolo players? Piece of cake!</p>
<div id="attachment_3026" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3026" title="#9767-(angels-band)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9767-angels-band.jpg" alt="The Angels are on their toes!" width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Angels are on their toes!</p></div>
<p>Our Angels dance team adds some color to the production. Plus it&#8217;s easy-peasy to see <em>their</em> faces!</p>
<div id="attachment_3024" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3024" title="#165-(btr-paige)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/165-btr-paige.jpg" alt="Paige contemplates a job well done." width="500" height="418" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Paige contemplates a job well done.</p></div>
<p>Of course, I didn&#8217;t just shoot the show on the field. I also snapped some shots where the musicians were sitting in the stands.</p>
<div id="attachment_3037" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3037" title="#9910-(tubas)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/9910-tubas.jpg" alt="Tuba players call it a day." width="500" height="333" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Tuba players call it a day.</p></div>
<p>And I took pics as the band was getting ready to leave with their instruments—away from their faces.</p>
<div id="attachment_3039" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3039" title="waldo-#9762-(band)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/waldo-9762-band.jpg" alt="Where's Waldo?" width="500" height="334" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Where&#39;s Waldo?</p></div>
<p>The <em>real</em> fun of shooting—and watching—the band is trying to pick out your favorite musicians. Like <em>this</em> character, none other than Chase. He&#8217;s fairly easy to find, because he&#8217;s tall and lanky and plays a big instrument, the bass clarinet. But sometimes in the midst of all that movement that&#8217;s the hallmark of every marching band, we lose him in the madding crowd.</p>
<div id="attachment_3038" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img class="size-full wp-image-3038 " title="here's-waldo-#9829-(chase)" src="http://susansternberg.wordpress.com/files/2009/09/heres-waldo-9829-chase.jpg" alt="Here's Chase!" width="400" height="600" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Here&#39;s Chase!</p></div>
<p>There he is . . . and we can even see his face!</p>

<description><![CDATA[Hermann Prey (1929-1998) Rõ ràng là Prey bị cái bóng khổng lồ của baritone đồng hương Fischer-dieska]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-84" title="pra" src="http://figaro83.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/pra.jpg" alt="pra" width="273" height="500" />Hermann Prey (1929-1998)</span></strong></p>
<p>Rõ ràng là Prey bị cái bóng khổng lồ của baritone đồng hương Fischer-dieskau che phủ nhưng Prey vẫn là baritone tớ thích nhất kể cả trong opera và lied. Cái tên &#8220;Hermann&#8221; trong tiếc Đức là 1 cái tên cực kì đàn ông (người Lính) nhưng Prey thì gần giống với 1 cậu thiếu niên hơn (ngay cả khi đã ngoài 40t). Prey có có cái chất tự nhiên, nhí nhảnh, hết mình lại vừa tình cảm, nhẹ nhàng chứ ít chất nghiêm túc và đôi khi hơi cứng nhắc như Fícher-Dieskau.Tất nhiên so sánh với F-D là hơi khập khiễng, F-D thu âm nhiều hơn, mức độ phổ biến lớn hơn, và tài năng thì không thể phủ nhận. Ngay cả trong giọng hát, 1 baritone dầy , sâu như F-D mà vẫn có thể lên đên Si đầy ấn tượng trong khi Prey giọng sáng, nhẹ nhàng hơn nhiều mà lên đến La đã căng thẳng. Âm vực không phải là thế mạnh của Prey, khu cao và khu trầm đều k0 có gì đặc sắc, nhưng khả năng nhập vai, thể hiện tình cảm thì tuyệt vời. Nếu xem Figaro thì sẽ thấy từ trong điệu bộ, động tác ánh mắt đến những xử lí về âm nhạc đều có dụng ý và rất thông minh, cái chất thông minh đầy cảm tính như kiểu tự nhiên đã thế chứ không như là cố gắng để như thế (cảm nhận của YIH thôi, <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p><img src="http://www.cs.princeton.edu/%7Esan/prey3.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Ngay cả trong lieder, cái buồn, cái suy tư nếu có cũng rất trong sáng, nhẹ nhàng, tình cảm. Prey hát rất nhiều lied, đến với thanh nhạc cổ điển từ lied, và yêu thích lied trước cả khi thành danh với sân khấu opera (Prey là người Đức đầu tiên được La Scala- một nhà hát siêu bảo thủ trong những vai thuần Ý, mời hát Figaro(rossini)- 1 vai chính điển hình của bel-canto cho baritone). Nhiều người hay so sánh Prey với F-D ở lieder, nhưng Prey và F-D cũng là bạn và mỗi người cũng đều trân trọng tài năng và có những nhận xét tốt đẹp về nhau. Bố của Prey là đồ tể, và rất có thể Prey sẽ thành 1 anh đồ tể tương lai nếu chiến tranh k0 nổ ra. Năm 16t, quân Liên Xô nhảy vào Đức sau WW2, không hiểu sao nhà Prey cũng bị soi, tất nhiên là vẫn được đối xử tử tế, được cho ăn uống đầy đủ, thậm chí, prey còn ngồi uống Vodka với cả lính Hồng Quân nữa&#8230; Ơ mà thôi, Bio đầy đủ để sau này viết sau, cũng có nhiều cái hay ho. Còn giờ mọi người ngồi nghe mấy bài dân ca Prey hát xem có vừa tai không.<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';"> </span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Dmitri Hvorostovsky (1962) Năm mới năm me lăng xê Hvo nông dân. Mọi người trong box vẫn hay chê tơi ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-82" title="hv" src="http://figaro83.wordpress.com/files/2009/08/hv1.jpg" alt="hv" width="220" height="285" />Dmitri Hvorostovsky (1962)</span></strong></p>
<p>Năm mới năm me lăng xê Hvo nông dân. Mọi người trong box vẫn hay chê tơi bời mái tóc bạch kim sành điệu của cu cậu, với lí do là nông dân, bốc xếp, vác bao xi măng (trắng) để rơi vào đầu nên tóc mới bạc thế này. Hehe, thế mà bọn People Magazine cũng cố nhấc vào trong top 50 người đẹp nhất thế giới đấy, rồi bọn Elle Magazine thì cho hẳn 1 số để Hvo làm dáng (khoản này là nghề của cu cậu rồi) và tán dương là &#8220;Elvis Presley của sân khấu Opera&#8221;. Các chị em phụ nữ, dù biết anh chàng đã 2 đời vợ rồi, nhưng khi đến xem Opera cũng toàn cố mua vé hàng đầu để được nhìn rõ ràng hơn (là chính), và nghe rõ ràng hơn (cái này phụ thôi) vì quả giọng của Hvo cũng không được hoành cho lắm. Mình thì chưa được nghe trực tiếp, nghe qua thu âm, cái âm sắc rất dày, các note hát đều đấy đặn, thoải mái, khiến mình cứ nghĩ là giọng chắc &#8220;vạm vỡ&#8221; lắm, không ngờ chỉ là baritone trữ tình thôi (từ trước đến giờ thấy chiến nhiều Verdi nên cứ đinh ninh là baritone kịch tính, rêu rao suốt)</p>
<p>Lần trước đã một lần nhắc tới ở trong entry: <a href="http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-VKAqjbA5eq9XNI2gEKE5?p=263">&#8220;nếu giờ này bạn hiền còn thiếu 1 gia đình&#8221;</a></p>
<p>Nhưng cứ theo tình hình này thì chắc là mọi người lại nghĩ Hvo chỉ giỏi mấy bài nhạc đỏ Liên Xô, mà quên rằng anh chàng từng thắng cả Bryn Terfel (Mình cũng thích Bryn) ở Cardiff hẳn hoi. Hồi đấy, E. Soderstrom làm giám khảo, không biết chị ấy cảm nghĩ thế nào nhờ. Chắc có lẽ tại xa Nga lâu quá, mà anh chàng trở nên cực kì cực đoan và bảo thủ, vẫn dành những lời tốt đẹp nhất cho thời kì Liên Xô hồi trước, thậm chí còn lên án của mấy anh chị tỷ phú giàu xổi ở Nga bây giờ: &#8220;Lũ người Nga tầm thường, cái bọn mà bạn vẫn thấy đeo đầy dây xích vàng, đi xe Cadillacs cùng những ả nhân tình diêm dúa khoác áo lông, bi bô qua điện thoại di động trong thang máy chật ních&#8230; Những kẻ như vậy luôn làm tôi thấy khó chịu, với chúng, tôi cứ giả vờ như cóc phải người Nga&#8221;. Và lúc nào cũng khoe là mình thích hát cho các bác công nhân nhà máy bánh mì như hồi mới vào nghề hơn là ở những nơi sang trọng và cho những kẻ trưởng giả như vậy(nhưng thực tế thì hành động ngược lại, hehe).</p>
<p>Nhiều báo chí phương Tây khai thác chuyện Hvo sau khi đạt Cardiff thì bỏ nước, vì chuyện KGB đòi hết một nửa tiền thưởng để chỉ trích xã hội Liên Xô. Chuyện chẳng qua là Hvo hồi đi thi không có tiền mua áo đuôi tôm, thế nên mới vay 1 chị KGB đi cùng, sau này đạt giải, chị ấy đòi lại tiền (quá đương nhiên), Hvo chỉ được giữ cái cúp. Mà Hvo được nhà nước nuôi ăn học, thì bớt chút phần tiền, coi như đóng thuế có sao đâu, bản thân Hvo cũng sung sứong nói :&#8221;tôi chỉ nhận chiếc cúp&#8221;, thế mà bọn nó cứ phải mỉa mai.Mình thấy chuyện này thật nực cười. Chính Hvo cũng tự nhận rằng mình quá được nuông chiều trong xã hội Liên Xô, được bao cấp ăn học, được taọ điều kiện phát triển về NT, mới 24t đã được đề cử danh hiệu Nghệ sỹ công huân (1 trong những người trẻ nhất có đc vinh dự đấy), sau mỗi giải thưởng lại được cấp nhà, thậm chí nhà ở Thủ đô (quê của Hvo là ở xứ mù căng chải Siberi lạnh lẽo), Chị mezzo huyền thoại của Liên Xô I.Arkhipova ưu ái tiến cử, chắc gì ở Mỹ hay các nước phương tây, 1 đứa trẻ bình thường vùng sâu vùng xa được chăm sóc đầy đủ thế. Hvo sống ở nước ngoài, vì nước Nga rộng lớn nhưng cũng không đủ chứa được cậu ấy thế thôi. Cậu ấy vẫn là người Nga rất Nga. Dù j` thì cậu ấy vẫn yêu Nga và là niềm tự hào của opera Nga hiện nay.</p>
<p>Tính cách kiêu ngạo thừa hưởng từ thời cụ kị (cụ nội thì tham gia cách mạng tháng 2- 1905, cụ ngoại thì cũng là lính Hồng quân và hi sinh, rồi ông ngoại, ông dượng cũng đều là lính Hồng quân, anh hùng trong thời kì chiến tranh Vệ quốc). Profile thế nên thuộc loại chẳng sợ trời đất gì. Từ chối cả Solti, kén cá chọn canh, không chịu đóng Iago (trong Otello của Verdi), (nghe nói năm nay -2008 mới chịu đóng). Không hát lieder Đức, vì sợ Hampson hát hay hơn mình (sợ qué gì nhỉ, Hampson giọng khô như ngói, đặc Mẽo), chê Puccinni sến, chê mấy vai baritone Pháp (dù cũng hát cả Ravel, Bizet, đóng cả Faust của Gounod và vài vở của Massenet), thậm chí đến mấy vai kinh điển trong opera Nga mà các baritone Nga đều mơ chinh phục cũng không chịu, sợ hỏng giọng. Mình đoán là anh chàng nhát không dám thôi chứ kén cái gì mà kén, thèm xừ, hehe</p>
<p><em>Lúc đang viết blog thì TX nhắn tin rủ đi ăn chơi đầu năm, nên tí tởn đi, giờ lăng xê tiếp.</em></p>
<p>Dmitri rất hay xuất hiện trong trang phục rất xì tin: áo da, quần jeans, kính đen, bụi phủi, thực ra là để làm dáng lấy lòng các em xinh tươi, nhưng lại ngụy biện :&#8221;Đâu, tôi mặc thế để hát cho thoải mái đấy chứ, mặc đuôi tôm khó cựa quậy lắm&#8221;. Tự nhận là hát mấy bài nhạc CM Liên Xô thì bảo chỉ là 1 dạng classical pop, crossover, nhưng đụng đến pop thật thì giãy nảy lên: &#8220;Có các 1 triệu đô thì tôi cũng không thèm hát cùng Madonna (10 triệu thì may ra, hehe), nghĩ cũng xót ruột đấy, nhưng tôi phải cho cô nàng rớt đài thôi&#8221;. Nhiều người (trong đấy có Eli nhà ta) bĩu môi cho rằng, chính Maddie mới phải là người nói câu đấy. Thậm chí đến Andrea Boccelli hắn cũng không tha. Mình thì mình cũng không thích Boccelli, nhưng nghĩ ông ấy tật nguyền, nên cảm thông, còn Hvo thì vỗ mặt thẳng cánh luôn: &#8220;Thật không thể tưởng tượng nổi ca sĩ opera nổi tiếng nhất tại Mĩ lại là Boccelli, điều này lố bịch như thể món ăn ngon nhất thế giới là &#8230; kẹo cao su ấy.&#8221; Cầm tinh con giả vờ vậy, chứ cả nhà đều biết rằng thời trẻ, thần tượng của Hvo chẳng phải là những baritone huyền thoại: M.Battistini, G.de Luca, E. Bastianini, P.Lysitsyan,&#8230; như cậu chàng hay khoe sau này (lúc đã theo học thanh nhạc cổ điển) mà chính là Queen, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Louis Amstrong,&#8230; thậm chí còn tập tọe lập rockband, tham gia tụ tập với thanh niên hư hỏng, gây gổ đánh nhau (vỡ mũi, gãy răng hàng tá lần). Sở thích &#8220;thời thanh niên sôi nổi&#8221; là: bóng đá (có vẻ lành mạnh 1 tí), boxing ( có vẻ thể thao 1 tí) và &#8230; gái gú (ôi! hết nói). &#8220;Có một thời gian tôi trở nên nổi loạn và bất trị đối với bố mẹ&#8230; tôi rất thích nghe nhạc rock, đặc biệt là khi luyện tập. Tôi gọi đấy là thứ âm nhạc cho <em>chân &#8211; cẳng</em> tôi&#8221;, (nguyên văn: &#8220;I call it music for my feet and legs&#8221;, hehe)</p>
<p>Thế thôi, tiết mục lăng xê đến đây là hết, vài thông tin lượm lặt ngoài lề, không đưa vào bài bio chính thức, quẳng lên blog cho đỡ phí, <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p><span style="background-color:#60bf00;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#c00000;font-size:x-small;">Và đây trái tim ta chỉ vì nàng mà đập</span></p>
<p><span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:x-small;"><span style="background-color:#60bf00;"><span style="color:#c00000;">Đừng vò xé nó bằng đôi tay trắng</span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span style="background-color:#60bf00;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#c00000;font-size:x-small;">Hãy để lắng cơn bão lòng đắm đuối</span></p>
<p><span style="background-color:#60bf00;font-family:arial,sans-serif;color:#c00000;font-size:x-small;">Và để ta chợp mắt theo nàng.</span></p>

<p>Chưa bao giờ thích Melodies Pháp, thứ âm nhạc mơn man, bồng bềnh, bảng lảng và dễ gây cảm giác say&#8230; Souzays thì lúc nào cũng &#8220;điệu&#8221; một cách &#8230; rất thanh lịch, kiểu Pháp. Mình không thích baritone Pháp &#8211; yếu đuối, mỏng mảnh, không thích Souzay, không thích cách hát như đang nói: &#8220;nào lại đây, ngồi xuống đây và nghe câu chuyện của tôi nhé, cũng không có gì đặc biệt lắm đâu, nó thế này, thế này&#8230;&#8221;. Chà, nhưng mà người Pháp kể chuyện có duyên thật&#8230; lại tự dưng muốn ngồi xuống và&#8230; lắng &#8230; nghe&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>Download:</strong> <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/g2uj6vtgs0">Melody: Green &#8211; Gabriel Fauré &#8211; phổ thơ của Paul Verlaine : Gérald Souzay (baritone)</a></p>
<p>Thực ra nếu không đọc bản dịch, chắc là chẳng bao giờ mình nghe bài này, dù rằng bản dịch giống như là sự tưởng tượng của một cô gái hơn là lời trái tim của cậu trai đang yêu. Ah, tất nhiên, 10 năm nữa, mình cũng không dịch được thế, <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Uhm, nếu không có những bản dịch của chị, em sẽ chẳng bao giờ quan tâm đến melodies Pháp cho dù Souzay, Ameling, de los Angeles, &#8230; có hấp dẫn đến đâu. Cám ơn chị!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><strong>Die Mainacht</strong></span><br />
<strong><em>Ludwig Heinrich Christoph Hölty </em></strong></p>
<p>Wann der silberne Mond durch die Gesträuche blinkt,<br />
Und sein schlummerndes Licht über den Rasen streut,<br />
Und die Nachtigall flötet,<br />
Wandl&#8217; ich traurig von Busch zu Busch.</p>
<p>(Selig preis ich dich dann, flötende Nachtigall,<br />
Weil dein Weibchen mit dir wohnet in einem Nest,<br />
Ihrem singenden Gatten<br />
Tausend trauliche Küsse gibt. )*</p>
<p>Überhüllet von Laub girret ein Taubenpaar<br />
Sein Entzücken mir vor; aber ich wende mich,<br />
Suche dunklere Schatten,<br />
Und die einsame Träne rinnt.</p>
<p>Wann, o lächelndes Bild, welches wie Morgenrot<br />
Durch die Seele mir strahlt, find ich auf Erden dich?<br />
Und die einsame Träne<br />
Bebt mir heißer die Wang herab!</p>
<p><span style="color:#bf005f;">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</span><br />
<span style="font-weight:bold;color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Đêm tháng 5</span><br />

<p><span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Ánh trăng bạc chiếu qua rặng cây, </span><span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;"><br />
Lan toả thứ ánh sáng mờ ảo trên thảm cỏ </span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Những chú chim sơn ca hót líu lo</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Tôi lững thững bước từng bước qua khu rừng.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">(Chim sơn ca hỡi, chắc ngươi hạnh phúc lắm?</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Vì bạn đời bên ngươi trong tổ ấm kia</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Đang hát vang bản tình ca lứa đôi</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Và trao tặng ngàn nụ hôn say đắm.)*</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;"><br />
Có đôi chim câu ẩn mình dưới tán cây</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Cất lên khúc hoan ca mời gọi, </span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Nhưng tôi quay bước,</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Kiếm tìm một bóng tối sâu thẳm,</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Để rồi nhỏ từng giọt nước mắt cô đơn.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Khi những hình ảnh tươi tắn  như sớm mai</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Chiếu qua tâm hồn tôi, </span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Tôi còn tìm thấy Em trên cõi đời này không?</span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Những giọt nước mắt cô đơn </span><br />
<span style="color:#c00000;font-style:italic;">Lại rớt xuống gò má, cháy bỏng!</span></p>
