On last Sunday night(25/5/08), my parents and myself went for Singapore Chinese Orchestra(SCO) concert at Singapore Conference Hall. Although it was Sunday, this concert was only one night stands performation unlikly the one that held on Friday and Saturday events or the weekend concert.Anyway,the title for the concert was Music Ties which were be performed by three family members of the musical, Wong On-yuen,(gahu) Wong Sun Tat(younger Wong who plays the erhu) and Yu Jia(pipa). And the concert was very good this time and enjoyed the music pieces during the concert.
Here were the number of songs that they had played during the concert:
1)Mt Kinabalu*
2)Lquidmanada
3)Flavours of Tian Shen
4)Spring and Autumn
5)Guangdong Music Concerto^
*Composed by Simon Kong Su Leong
^Rearranged by Hu Wei Li
The Mt Kinabalu was written by Malaysian composer, Simon Kong as he went to trip to the country side of Indionaese. And he found out that many tibets were worship to the Mt Kinabalu as their god. Something must be interesting. And the song? I find that it was not bad for this song as it comes altogether for the sounds of the mountie, the nature and the people.The Lquidmanada was the song about the dunker man with his own wine. And the music was fine with me ever thought it supposed to be played on one person.The Spring and Autumn which was written back in 1994 and it's piece played by the pipa soloist within the orchestra. But what I liked the most was the Guangdong Music Concerto which it had combine on both folk songs and opera songs in Cantonese. And it was very nice piece I ever heard as I used to hear one of the Cantonese songs before. Very familiar with some of these songs. And that was a good night performation.
By the way, both Wong On-yuen and Sun Tat are the father and son musical players on erhu while Yu Jia is the daughter-in-law of the older Wong.(which I was asking to myself, is she married to younger Wong?)oo? Oh well..... perhaps that I better not dare to ask such thing after all. ^^;;
