Joining a chorus

Like anyone else, I spent most of my time/energy in studying and working until I retired recently. Thanks to Fara who introduced me to a chorus group, 中國高等院校香港校友會合唱團(高校聯) . Since then, my life was changed into upside down! It was like going back to my long forgotten dream, but without the complication and worry of earning a living.

It was my first time to encounter this kind of music. The way they sang was called Bel canto (
美聲唱法; in English, 'beautiful singing' or 'beautiful song'). In a nutshell, I had no idea what did it mean. My first song:

雕花的馬鞍 (Carved saddle)
  
Q: How does a young man become a member of a high school chorus?
A: On the first day of school he turns into the wrong classroom.
