Easter Friday Song

指揮：連芳貝 / 鋼琴：陳丹怡 　　"化作千縷微風"為日本作家兼歌手新井滿改編自911時追憶罹難者的英語詩歌"A Thousand Winds"，由聲樂家秋川雅史演唱，並在2007年日本NHK跨年年度節目紅白大賽中一唱成名，成為日本流行音樂史上首度成為銷售冠軍的古典聲樂歌曲。歌詞訴說著逝者安慰生者的深情話語，溫柔的旋律，款款道出亡者心願，逝者已遠，幻滅的形體化作一縷縷微風，吹過原野，越過山岳，穿過林間，掀起水面波瀾，與大自然融為一體，思念之時請別哭泣，仔細感受，滋潤大地的空氣水與陽光，處處是我的關照與祝...  more指揮：連芳貝 / 鋼琴：陳丹怡 　　"化作千縷微風"為日本作家兼歌手新井滿改編自911時追憶罹難者的英語詩歌"A Thousand Winds"，由聲樂家秋川雅史演唱，並在2007年日本NHK跨年年度節目紅白大賽中一唱成名，成為日本流行音樂史上首度成為銷售冠軍的古典聲樂歌曲。歌詞訴說著逝者安慰生者的深情話語，溫柔的旋律，款款道出亡者心願，逝者已遠，幻滅的形體化作一縷縷微風，吹過原野，越過山岳，穿過林間，掀起水面波瀾，與大自然融為一體，思念之時請別哭泣，仔細感受，滋潤大地的空氣水與陽光，處處是我的關照與祝福。生者能在此曲中拾起悲傷，獲得撫慰與寬適。

PG Carnivalesque" under the patronage of Prof. Krzysztof Wilde, rector of Gdańsk Tech, attracted several hundred People who listened to daring performances of popular pop music hits. During the performance we heard choral arrangements of hits such as: "Dancing Queen", "Memory", "California Dreamin'" and "Maria". This time it was not Mozart or Bach, but ABBA, Queen and Songs from the musical West Side Story that graced the walls of the Gdansk University of Technology in carnivalesque musical artistic creations. Jazz musicians performed along with the choir, and the musical effects were accompanied by a unique lighting arrangement, which required appropriate space and audience arrangement. the more-than-hour-long performance by the Academic Choir of the Gdańsk University of Technology, conducted by Prof. Mariusz Mróz and accompanied by musicians from the Music Academy in Bydgoszcz, ended with joint singing, encores and a standing ovation.  less
