練歌

由頭到尾唱一次, 放下樂譜已有種不安感, 記者來了以後感覺到大家更緊張了, 怕甚麼呢. 炒係炒, 唯有炒今晚. 老師還來不來幫手?

皡的聲音很正氣, 在空教堂中也能project, 唯音樂中仍有可處理的地方. Angelie的聲音本就帶點幽怨, 黃河獨唱的技巧﹑聲音和表達都可以放心, 唯對歌曲仍生疏. 另外長音音尾都要注意音準. 對口曲的生意人像農夫, 農夫卻像生意人, 另外過份缺乏代入感. 在台上兩位老鄉如何interact跟歌唱是一樣重要的課題, 不知王老七有否意識到默契需要訓練, 此事很頭痛.

My part in Go Down Moses was still reported to be sharp and faster than tempo. More ears. Don't sacrifice pitch for vibrancy, you will get a mic anyway. Doctor Tsoi is obviously not familiar with Deep River, yet K was not as confident as she used to, plus alto H really require a mic to be heard. Firstly the bass lost the pitch, the rhythm came next, and at last the colour. (What was I reading??) More and more counting + practises to come. One lost then all is lost, common for amateurs.

只唱一場的音樂會感覺分外緊張, 炒掉一晩已經冇得補鑊, 冇機會再唱返好佢, 只有背水一戰.

最麻煩的惱人事取銷了, 還有人說「阿成個樣都開心晒，唔似琴日愁眉苦臉」, 我確是不擅忍隱的人罷. 完全鬆了一口氣, 可以真正投入音樂會. 副團長罵我怎麼不訂票, 她當獨唱的話就搵晒朋友黎包場啦云云. 幸好還有點時間, 之前不知所措, 現在空閒多了找多點朋友來吧. 一方面對自己的唱歌並不大信心, 一方面要熱心推廣, 不知大家有否這種矛盾的想法.

"The song was made famous by Paul Robeson whose voice, deep and resonant as it was, was said by some to have attained the status of the voice of God" (Go Down Moses)
