Last friday 30 March, me with the choir "capella universitaria" feat. the orchestra Sinfonietta Universitaria, we finally performed Mozart's Requiem on San Luis Potosi's Cathedral
The original plan was to start the concert at 8 pm but, we had very bad luck because there was a mass at 7pm and they finished it really late, and then, the orchestra had to take their places, technicians were puting the microphones.... Epic fail, I'm not sure if fail was from church or university, but, ok, we started really late.
Anyway, the concert was great, lot of people was there, Cathedral was filled with people!!!!! Here you can watch the videos of the concert but, my mother recorded it with my cell phone, and it was a little hard for her at the begining, that's why from requiem there is only the part of "kyrie", dies irae wasn't recorded.
Enjoy the videos!!!
For my next singing class, now I have to study this aria: Comme raggio di sol
So let's se how I do it, it doesn't seem too dificult, so I hope to do it good..... let's see what my teacher tells me the next class.
Now I am going to write about a very talented musician I found in YouTube: Dean Kopri
I don't have many information about him, I just know that he is from Croatia, and he plays the piano really great!!!
On his YouTube Channel you can find covers from Nightwish, and other artists, but also, songs that he had made. As I said, he is really talented, but also, a very nice looking guy ;)
Visit His YouTube Chanel and watch his videos!!!
Nightwish is a symphonic metal band from Finland. And personally, my most favorite band.
Nightwish is the most popular and succesfull band from Finland, with more than 7 millions albums saled all over the world.
The band was born in Tuomas Holopainen's mind in the summer of 1996, while he was camping. He talked with his friends Tarja Turunen and Emppu Vuorinen; and Jukka Nevalainen joined a little latter, realeasing their first album "Angels Fall First" on 1997, with the song "The Carpenter" as their first single.
Angels Fall First is the only album where Tuomas sings, after that album, he will never sing again anymore unfortunatelly. When they release the album oceanborn in 1998, Sami Vanska joined the band as bassist.
In 2001 or 2002, Sami Vanska was fired from the band, and Marco Hietala from Tarot joined Nightwish as bassist and male vocalist to make duets with Tarja Turunen.
In october 21, 2005, they had a gig in the Hartwall Arena of Helsinki, that show was recorded for a DVD named End Of an Era, because after that show, Tuomas Holopainen gave to Tarja Turunen, their vocalist unill that day, a letter which also was published in the band's webpage where the band fired Tarja Turunen, because of her attitude with the band.
In 2007 Nightwish started to look for their new vocalist, they recieved demos from many women all over the world, more than 2000, and the winner was, the sweddish singer Anette Olzon who was the vocalist of the sweddish band "Alyson Avenue" until then.
Nightwish has realeased 7 albums:
Angels Fall First - 1997
Oceanborn - 1998
Wishmaster - 2000
Century Child - 2002
Once - 2005
Dark Passion Play - 2007
Imaginaerum - 2011
Personally, I love Nightwish, they came to my life in my hardest and darkest moment, when I heard "The Phantom of the Opera" by first time with them, I felt that my life took a better direction. Their music, and every member of the band is so important for me.
I'm sure I'll do more posts about Nightwish, by now, I say goodbye with this beautifull song, a masterpiece.
