WSK concert @ 掃晴閒工夫

I went to the Vienna Boys' Choir concert with Ma, Pa, and my dear sis this evening.

     I guess I just prefer polkas and waltzes better; being neither very religious nor familiar with medieval and Motets, I was not very into the singing.

     They first performed Veni Creator Spiritus then O! Fortuna. I really like the video they have on their official website. But when they came out tonight, it seemed there's still a thin layer of ice between them and the audience. They sounded shy. Could it be because I was sitting too far away on the 2nd floor? I don't think the boys brought out their entire feelings— they sounded pretty quite and timid (perhaps they're tired? They've been traveling a lot...), but they still looked adorable in their lovely uniforms, and they sang beautifully (but not as good as I expected ). They are kids after all, and I still love them when they sang something like "Lollipop".

     They performed my favorite song — Schubert's Ständchen. What a blessing! ( compared to the other songs they did

) I loved it, bringing back a lot of memories, but again, I couldn't hear it very well, probably it's because my hearing is pretty bad after hearing all the screams in class for years. Here's one I found on Youtube, singing by Terry Wey. You can practice your French and German a bit.

OK, that's pretty much about it. I'm running out of words:p
( Sorry, my English-reading pals!

It's really hard for me to write in English. I write like a 10-year-old.)

續─
昨天跟老妹帶爸媽一起去聽演唱會
老爸老媽坐樓下，我們則坐樓上
( 因為阿桑抱怨太多坐太遠的話題，讓老妹有些火大，這邊得要說聲抱歉
當初我自己也覺得坐樓上也好的原因也是怕萬一演唱不夠好，就會覺得摳摳花得很冤，才買樓上票的，真是不敬業的粉)

這場演唱會頗賣座，幾乎是滿座
現場扶老攜幼，還有很多不方便的同胞一起來看
蠻令人感動
所以我想這些孩子還是帶給很多人好時光
尤其是在場的有許多位惠明學校的孩子，聽老媽說他們說好謝謝他們的校長帶他們來聽

不過壞心的阿桑還是要挑剔一下
不知是否因現場地形限制，坐在二樓聽得十分不清楚；
要嘛就是這團還沒完全開嗓，讓阿桑不斷在心裡想：孩子們，加油！唱大聲點！拿出你們的全力來唱呀！

基本上，小孩子們的表現也還好
他們演出了我喜歡的小夜曲，算是整場中我最專心的時候
也有傳統的史特勞斯的圓舞曲，讓我蠻開心的
其他的聖歌類的曲目，應該算是他們的拿手曲目
但嘔只是個音樂門外漢，又不信神，感覺十分疏離，尤其是現代的合唱曲，說實話，我有聽沒有到
〈就已經夠聽不清楚了，加上沒感情，空調不夠，簡直有點昏昏欲睡〉

現代的維也納少年合唱團開始演唱比較現代的歌謠
有個疑問
他們一唱起流行歌，音調就會變得好低，神奇捏〈

讓我想起我的小孩們唱歌的德性〉

好啦，雖說諸多批評但會後我還是做了很蠢的事：強迫老妹一起等在門口看他們上遊覽車
我很想親眼近距離的看看"真人版"團員呀
等著等著覺得自己好......蠢，是戀童症咩？

都幾歲了還醬
不想等放棄要走人時，他們果然就出來了
還換穿了藍色的制服，真是超可愛的啦！連不是粉的老妹都覺得可愛
但是害羞的阿桑就隔著馬路看，沒有要求要照相
小孩子還是要讓他們早點回去睡覺才好長得高呀......
( 藉口！看看你的白頭髮！若跑過去會粉丟輾吧)
騎車要走時，跟遊覽車上的他們揮揮手說再見，其中有個孩子看到了（勉強地）咧咧嘴，回了個微笑
對不起，嚇到你了嗎？嘔已經是師奶級的怪阿桑了
