Hey all, on behalf of the Mus'Art Wind Orchestra, I would like to promote the upcoming concert that we will be presenting! Coincidentally, I forgot the title of the concert... oops... But I remember the repertoire! So here it is:
1st Half
Alvamar Oveture
An English Sea Song Suite
To The Summit!
Imperatrix
The Golden Circle
Ross Roy
2nd Half
Space Battleship Yamato
Danceries
West Side Story
Little Mermaid Medley
During the 1st half, we'll present the SYF choice pieces for a few secondary school bands in our area, and the key players of the band will be playing amongst us! Much like a comworks thingy. The 2nd half will be purely our own repertoire, and I guarantee you the 2nd half pieces are all nice :D
Concert is on 3rd Febuary, 7:30pm at the Victoria Concert Hall. Circle seat tickets are available (only circle because the kids have all the stall seat tickets) through me, $12 each. Please come! See some of the school kids in action! Haha.
Have fun and see you guys at band :D

For early bird tickets, please contact any NUSWS members you know or visit sistic website at http://www.sistic.com.sg/cms/events/index.html?content=697.
Repertoire: Others to be confirmed.

Poema Alpestre - Franco Cesarini (Singapore Premiere)
Soaring Over the Ridges: The impression of the North Alps - Satoshi Yagisawa (Singapore Premiere)
Silver Screen - Paul Hart
Immer Keiner featuring our own solo clarinetist Mr Ian Lum
Poema Alpestre (Singapore Premiere):
For someone like Franco Cesarini, born in a land of which every horizon is dominated by the majestic Alps, mountains are in one's heart and soul throughout every moment of life. Therefore, the question as to why Cesarini chose to write a piece dedicated to mountains can have a thousand answers or none.Cesarini creates a world of sound that depicts a real world he has known first hand.This 20-minute creation transports the listener (and performer!) to a land of alpine beauty and terrific natural forces. The fog and mist give way to grandeur and vistas beyond compare that contain grazing cattle (listen for their passage indicated by large cow-bells), birds and other wildlife, and the fury of high-altitude blizzards. The snowstorm subsides into a divine state where the 'mountain-top experience' is revealed as the spirit soars to new heights. The true spirit of mountains is described in the words of Alan Hovhaness: "Mountains are symbolic meeting places between the material and the spiritual world." It is a sentiment with which the composer fully agrees, which also helps explain the titles of succeeding episodes of the composition. These alternate moments of reality, of matter, with those of the ethereal, the spirit. Certain subtitles also refer to Thomas Mann's classic novel, "The Magic Mountain".As in the book, the triumvirate of illness-love-death becomes the key to trying to understand the mystery of life.Another factor that compelled Cesarini to write this piece is the 50th anniversary of the death of Richard Strauss (1864-1949). For Cesarini, "Poema Alpestre" is a modest tribute to his memory. by Franco Cesarini

AUDITIONSEA
Here's a good & fun game for the band folks to kill time.
This' how it looks like.
You need only5 keys to play this game
- the 4 arrow buttons & the spacebar.
Once u see those arrow signs appearing, u can start hitting your arrow buttons.
There's no need to be in beat while u hit those arrows,
you can just key them in as soon as you see the next line appearing.
After hitting the sequence of arrows,
(provided u hit them correctly)
u gonna hit the spacebar, at the white portion of the bar in the game.
And that white portion usually coincides with the 1st beat of a 4/4 bar.
That's the only time u've to be in beat.
If u are able to hit exactly on that beat(where the white portion is),
u see a "PERFECT" over your head.
If u are just that slightly off-beat, it will be a "GREAT" instead,
followed by "COOL", "BAD" & "MISS".
"PERFECT" gets you the most points, and so on.
"MISS" gets nothing.
So players on the dancefloor are basically competing each other.
You see a player ranking table in the bottom right corner,
that's why u see the ranking always fluctuates.
After every sequence of arrows,
you are awarded the number of points based on your performance for that sequence.
- to hit all arrows & hit the 1st beat accurately.
The person with the most points at any point of time
gets to be the the centre of attraction & dance in front.
After every game,
you are rewarded with EXPERIENCE POINTS & MONEY,
based on your final ranking & performace for that game.
Experience points - well just to increase level like normal RPG games.
Money - You can buy yourself nice clothes.
I started a girl's account cos the girls have got nicer clothes.
So this game is a very good test of
SIGHT-READING
RHYTHMIC SENSE
&
your ability to stay calm,
cos the arrow sequences can get rather annoying sometimes.
Download information
Go HERE.
Click on "Download Game Client" on the left.
Warning: Game size is appromximately 600+mb
Next, u gonna create an account.
On the mainpage, u see "SIGN UP" on the left column.
So the registration follows from there.
Any problems regarding how to enter game/how to play,
feel free to sms me. xD
Many players can play at any one time,
so it's a perfect game for the band folks to play together at nite.
They have got many many songs to "dance to",
remixes .... techno .... trance ... those familiar mandarin songs.
And many different levels.
The one shown above is of elementary level.
Most importantly, it's FREE!
Just dun get too addicted to the game.
Want to challenge me can msg me.
No worry,
I started the game not long ago &
my sight-reading for the arrows sux.
This is a practice makes perfect game.
Here's a level-6 stage.
