MYP Moon Festival Chorus
M
oon Festival, as a traditional festival with family reunion as its core value, is celebrated by many East and Southeast Asian people. This year, MYP students put together a chorus to celebrate this loving festival by singing their favorite Chinese songs. Ms. Min & the Secondary Chinese department My class sang 夜空中最亮的星 The Brightest Star in the Sky. It signifies a special someone who leads us through times of misery or leads us through a blurry road. It’s a capella with four parts singing in soprano,alto,mezzo and tenor, really challenging! We spent around two months rehearsing this performance, starting with watching a video example, then moving on to learning, analyzing, and memorizing the lyrics. To further enhance the performance, acapella attributes were added to the song. When the actual performance date arrived, we stepped on stage with the lights off, the music video of starry skies behind us, and the spotlight shimmering as we sang The Brightest Star in the Sky. The practices did pay off! We were able to sing our hearts out since we have analyzed the meaning of the lyrics. We all sang for our “brightest star in the sky”. G10 Khim
