Eyes of dream water 

Was doing some research on songs and composers online (for my role as the emcee for Jubilate's three concerts) and found myself at Eric Whitacre's home page.

Brought back a lot of memories of the time he came to Singapore and did a concert with us. Of course, him being so charismatically handsome, most of us (both men and women) had major crushes on him. And his songs. He is so immensely talented, his songs awed all of us.

I should be sleeping (have a writing test tomorrow and need to emcee tomorrow's concert) but I can't help but stream his choral works onto my computer. It reminds me of the concerts. We had so much fun then, especially when doing the choreography for Five Hebrew Love Songs. All that con fuoco "lalala" in Kala Kalla and then the giant snowball for Rakut.

Ahh...good songs. So hard to come by nowadays. And the feeling you get when singing in a choir that sounds good and has so much rapport and chemistry - priceless.
