Draw on Blockchain : Christmas Carols 報佳音

cover




One more for advent calendar :D An old memory of street carol singing. When I was in primary school, I was brought by a relative to a church choir. On the Christmas Eve, the choir had a little carol tour. Street, shopping center and hotel.

I am not a follower in any religion, but I studied in schools with Christian background, so I read stories of bible and learnt different prayers and songs. I was also a member of choir in secondary school. Mostly alto because of the low voice type. Hm... in fact I was not very interested in choir, I joined because my music test score was bad and at the same time, there was a "rumor" that joining choir guarantees a pass. Anyway, the teacher was nice, like those heart warming school musical movies :)



再來節日倒數小品。小學時被親戚拉進教會合唱團,平安夜到街上、商場、酒店大堂報佳音。其實我沒有信任何教,不過因為從小上的學校都有天主教背景,所以一直在聽聖經故事,過各種節日和背不同的禱文和聖詩。上中學時也曾參加合唱團。不是把玻璃杯唱到爆開那種喇... 因為聲線低沉,大多數被安排唱中和低音。想起來也神奇,沒有對唱歌有很大興趣但一直都在參加合唱,是因為初中音樂測驗爛,傳說參加合唱團可以保底合格(是缺人缺到用傳言招人嗎) 不過老師挺好人,就像那些放牛班音樂電影那種感覺,所以音樂測驗也一路平安(合十)

The most amazing thing, I could sing 'O Sole Mio but I don't know Neapolitan. And many hymn songs in Cantonese are not well translated. The pronunciations of words totally not fit with pitch.

奇怪的事是, 那時大家都可以把一整首'O Sole Mio生硬硬地記下來唱。更更更奇的是,廣東話的聖詩十之八九都是走音的,音調跟聲調對不上,但大家還是記下來,還要唱的津津有味...
