CGR Update Part II

Oh yeah, I mentioned that it wasn't full in the indonesian service right? Well, the mandarin/english service was VVEEERRRYYYYY FULL. SO FULL that we had to add chairs outside... and alot of people ended up sitting on the steps... That's MUCH MORE than 1200 people who showed up. Well, there are more Chinese people than there are Indonesians in Singapore. I'm just really disappointed that my friends changed their minds on not going at the last minute... I hate people like that...

Time for pictures of the CGR!!!


Here's the 2nd song of the musical/drama. It's called Since By Men... Composed by Hendel, compiled in the songbook The Messiah. There are 2 people in the dancing group who are wearing crowns made of leaves. They were supposed to represent Adam and Eve. And the man in white is Angky, starring role :P And there's the choir behind him. You can spot me :) Hahahaha... And the woman in front of us is the conductor. Then the other woman in grey, the one nearest to the camera, is Leoni. She's the director of the whole thing...


And here's Michelle, with her short solo... singing God So Loved The World (The simple version... coz the choir sang a more complicated one at the end of the show) Michelle was dancing, so she had her hair tied up... She's like, 16 I think, and she sings like those opera singers already. Those where the voice has the variation thingy...


Lemme explain this scene. Okay, we're acting out the scene where David defeated Goliath. The man in blue is David. He's one of the best Tenor solos in the choir. He was singing the song God is Our Refuge and Strength. Then those 5 white people are soldiers (they don't have their armour on yet). The 2 ppl at the most back are women :P Hahaha... they drew fake moustaches on all of them. HAHA!!


Here's Zuriel and Julie. They're dancing "ballet"... Anyhow, the costume isn't complete yet. They had this white scarf thingy around their collar during the show. The song sang in this scene is my FAVOURITE in the whole show. Be Not Afraid, by Felix Mendelssohn. Compiled in the songbook Elijah. The song is the longest, but the MOST fun to sing :D Hahahaha...


In this scene, it's in the manger. There's "Joseph" and "Mary". And there's a Shepherd there. There are supposed to be 3. My dad and this other man wasn't there yet. Anyhow, then there's half of the Youth Choir. Hahahaha... And behind them, it's the Women Choir. We were singing O Little Town of Bethlehem.

K... these are a summary of the show... too bad NONE of you went to see it -_-
