I just heard that the Anglo Chinese Junior College (ACJC) Choir (my college choir whom I sang with during my 2 years in Junior College)just won another Gold With Honours in the 2011 Singapore Youth Festival! Being an alumni of the choir, I was ecstatic when I heard the news, and all the excitement has reminded me of all the wonderful things that I've done and experienced with the choir for the 2 years that I was there.
This post is an ode to them, and am going to post two videos of the choir singing, even though the people singing might be different with all the different batch of students, but I believe the spirit of the ACJC choir lives on, and that spirit is captured in every single song that we sing as members of the ACJC choir.
I sang this song with the choir last year for a competition in St.Petersburg. It's originally an Indonesian Folk song called "Soleram", but a very dramatic and mellow take on the original song which was supposed to be lively. It is an amazing rendition and I have to say one of the most memorable pieces that I have sang with the choir.It never fails to send shivers down my spine.
This is "Hymn To The Creator Of Light" by John Rutter. An amazing performance I must say.
Both songs conducted by our very own Mrs. Valerie Wilson!
Once again congratulations and may the spirit of the ACJC choir lives on!
As I listen to Soleram memories just flooded over me..
