让世界充满爱 - Fill the World with Love

[Yingchao Zhang]

Dear all,

We will have two young girls, Pearlie (7) and Audrey (10), joining us to sing this finale song at the CJCAA Chinese New Year show on Jan 25th.  This is to kick off the logistics.

Background: 
The song was written by Guo Feng of Mainland China in 1986, in response to "We are the World" by Michael Jackson and other pop stars in USA.

Version: 
We will follow the rendition made in 1998 after a mayor flood in Mainland China (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998_Yangtze_River_floods), and many pop stars got together to record this song for fundraising effort.  Here is the YouTube clip that you should listen whenever you have time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Prt5CNEKdA

Lyrics:
轻轻地捧着你的脸 为你把眼泪擦干 
这颗心永远属于你 告诉我不再孤单

深深地凝望你的眼 不需要更多的语言 
紧紧地握着你的手 这温暖依旧未改变

我们同欢乐我们同忍受 我们怀着同样的期待 
我们同风雨我们共追求 我们珍存同一样的爱

无论你我可曾相识 无论在眼前在天涯 
真心地为你祝福 祝愿你幸福平安

Music: 
Please find the attached MP3 music only when practice.

Practice: 
Let's try to learn the whole song, and I'll assign different parts to different people later.  We will try to get together once before the show to practice.  The girls will start first, and then joined by the board members, and by the audiences towards the end if they know the song well. 

Hope you all like this song, and let's share our love with the audience to wrap up our New Year celebration show!

Thanks,
Yingchao

Dear all,

I hope you've been listening and enjoying the song, and practiced on your own.  The music is actually relatively simple, with little variation in repeats.  If you have tough time memorizing the lyrics, you can print it out and hold in your hands.  I'd encourage you memorize as much as you can, so that we can focus on expression, instead of merely singing the correct lyrics. 

Now, let me introduce two more singers, a boy singer from HXPCS, Han Li, who's been in voice training for a few years.  A female singer who was once the leader of HXPCS chorus, and was a soprano in Xiaofeng Arts chorus group before, Shirley Hui Yang. 

I'll assign parts tonight and email you all.  I planed to call a rehearsal Friday evening, but just got invited to an important business meeting to my company HQ near Boston on Friday.  I've to travel Thu afternoon / evening going up, as well as Friday evening coming back.   Therefore, we'll have to practice individually a bit harder to be ready on Saturday.  And we can gather in hallways during the show to do rehearsal.  We'll have some time since this is a finale piece. 

Again, let's try to sing it with much love and passion in our hearts, and great expressions in our voices, faces, and body languages. 

Cheers!
