The TSO concert yesterday was amazing!! They opened with Wizards in Winter...of course they had their awesome lights too...I wanna know how they do that haha. They played other songs like First Snow, Christmas Eve Sarajevo, and An Angel Returned. OMG I'm in love with the guy's voice who sang An Angel Returned. It was SOOO beautiful!!! They did one part of the song first and the other part later. "Kyrie among nations, hear the bells ring through the night" is now my favorite quote. THAT PART WAS SO AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL!! I just had to sing along! I didn't like a lot of the singers though...their voices were rhaspy and jazzy...there was a part that was SO BORING. I think I liked the second part of the show more than the first haha. There was a song that seemed familiar but I dunno where I've heard it from. Then the announcer guy said "the next song dates back to the 6th century and is in Latin...I don't understand any of it...this is Carmina Burana!" OMG I about died!!! THEY PLAYED O FORTUNA!!!!!! OMG IT'S THE MOST EPIC THING I'VE EVER HEARD!!!!! It was sooo amazing!! They way the singers sang it...maaan. Requiem the Fifth was awesome too...the people singing sounded kinda weird though. Ohh and Flight of the Bumblebee...I admire their speedy talent haha. Of course they had sweet pyrotechnics...some changed colors haha! OMG and Queen of the Winter Night...the singer went to a platform where I could see her much better...OMG it must take some serious training to do what she did with her voice!! Her end note was sooo high! Near the end the pianists had a duel...the guy did this AWESOME epic organ piece and the woman played seriously fast...she has some fast hands haha. It was a really awesome concert..
Today's Latin: nec possum tecum vivere, nec sine te (I can live neither with you nor without you)
"It was the glow of a light, it was the heart of a song, it was the tear of a child where they never belonged, it was the wish of a soul on an old neon light, and the Lord smiled at him on that cold winter night"--"An Angel Returned," TSO
