Making good music, choir write-up

I thought that it'll be cool for the choir to see the write-up that was done for the SAJC concert programme booklet by Yan Peng and I. In a way, it sums up the aspirations of the choir and remind us all of what we set out to be. So here goes:

Making good music: what else can a choir do? No matter the size of the choir, good music transcends all: time and languages, cultures and styles.

River Valley Chamber Singers (RVCS) aims to do just that. Conducted by Ms Jennifer Tham and consisting of just the first batch of IP year5 students, the choir has been making good music together for ten months now.

Despite having a total number of only 27 singers, RVCS is still able to produce sounds that will amaze. This is because every single member in the choir is an independent singer who, when put together, creates fantastic, youthful group dynamics and beautiful harmonies.

As a young choir, RVCS has not had any chance to showcase our voices yet. In tonight’s virgin performance, we present As Torrents in Summer by Edward Elgar and Norvég Leányok by Zoltán Kodály as depictions of rain; Ubi Caritas by Imant Raminsh and Cantemus by Ilne Arne as expressions of love.

As Torrents in Summer is a soulful number with rich imagery to match while Norvég Leányok is a Hungarian song filled with the drips of rain backgrounding the simple story of love. Then we sing of the love and charity of God in Latin in a prayer for joy and round off our repetoire with Cantemus, a clear representation of how much we absolutely love singing and how much joy we derive from singing.

RVCS also cherishes the chance to sing Immortal Bach together with SAJC choir and sincerely thanks them and Ms Tham for this wonderous oppotunity to make and share good music.
