Update!

What are the marketing people doing these days?

I saw this CD at HMV entitled "Funeral Songs". The solemn cover consists of a solemn stone statue in a very solemn grayscale. So far so good. Now, turn it around and scan through the tracks.

What the hell is Allegretto from Beethoven 7th doing inside?!

It's more like a happy dance for goodness sake!

Adagietto from Mahler 5 is a love theme dedicated to his wife. Or was it lover? Whatever it is. The point is: it's a love theme, not a funeral theme.

Shouldn't these people do some research before compiling?

I haven't been able to get myself down into the blogging mood the last few days. In fact, just yesterday, I sat down and typed for 20 minutes and ended up deleting the whole thing. The feel wasn't right. My choice of words wasn't appropriate. My language flow wasn't fluent.

Well, you get the idea. =)

There will be 2 major concerts coming up for the Central Band in May and July.

In Harmony 20 - James Barnes
27th May 2005, Victoria Concert Hall

Highlights
Festival Music for Singapore (World Premiere), Barnes
Fifth Symphony - Phoenix, Barnes
Fantasy Variations, Barnes

World Association of Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE)
Conference 2005
10th - 16th July 2005
Esplanade, Theatres on the Bay

Central Band will be performing in the evening slot on 15th July 2005.

The James Barnes concert would be free. Please watch the events space on this site. Tickets to the WASBE conference would be out in mid-April from SISTIC.

As some of you might already know, I will more or less be the principal player for these 2 concerts. Stress, can?

I'm much better now and is slowly adapting to my new responsibilities. Thank you all who have encouraged me in one way or another!
