As its name implies (the phrase "Rosh Tov" in Hebrew connotes fun and a good atmosphere), this group has a light, vivacious character alongside its serious professional aspirations. Its repertoire includes lots of rhythm: international and Israeli pop songs, Beatles, Gershwin, musicals - all arranged by Jeanne in five part harmony. Among its most successful performances to date: "Sealed With A Kiss" (2007, 2008), special tribute evenings to lyricists Yoram Teharlev and Shimrit Or (produced by the Rosh-HaAyin Municipality), second place in the Choir competition "Kol Rishon" (Rishon LeZion, Succoth, 2008), and semi-final status in the "Zemer Lach Artzi" competition, 2010. We owe a special thank you to Patrick Kelly and Alex Eshed of "SingIsrael", who have coached us periodically along the way. Comments about "Rosh Tov" from the esteemed judges of the &qu...    less

免除世罪者 Qui tollis peccata mundi 韋瓦第使用了無比優美的和聲、極緩慢的速度、不斷變化的音程，刻畫出人類祈望耶穌垂聽 禱告的心願。全曲更以半音階的和聲進行，前半段4/4拍以沈穩的方式唱出「天主免除世 人罪過」，之後轉換成3/2拍，速度較急切的說出「請接受、請接受我的祈禱」，以迫切 的感覺深刻描繪出耶穌基督將世人罪過除去的恩典。 指揮: 翁佳芬 伴奏: 巴洛克獨奏家樂團 時間: 2007/12/11 地點: 高雄市文化中心至德堂

Die aktuell mehr als 50 chorerfahrenen Amateursängerinnen und -sänger vom „SonntagsChor Rheinland-Pfalz“ wurden seinerzeit aus über 600 Bewerbern, in mehreren Durchläufen, nach festgelegten Kriterien ausgewählt.
