Requiem by Mozart, 1791

-
A tranquil summer morning with Mozart, conducted by Karl Böhm

1. Requiem
Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine on them. A hymn becometh Thee, O God, in Sion: and a vow should be paid to Thee in Jerusalem. O hear my prayer: all flesh shall come to Thee. Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine on them.

Lord have mercy on us.
Christ have mercy on us.
Lord have mercy on us.

2. Dies IraeDay of wrath and doom impending,
David’s word with Sibyl’s blending!
Heaven and earth in ashes ending!
Oh, what fear man’s bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all depeneth!

Oculus by Cloud Gate 2

-
The choreographer of Oculus(斷章) is Wu Kuo-chu (伍國柱). Part I and II are stunning and unique. Itching in heart and body expresses the awaken of desire. Repeat and fast moving body languages is the projection of one's behavior and mental images. Unique gestures of dancers are the best part I like the most. Between Part II and before the rain fall, that is the part should be revised. When the rain starts falling, dancers stand still on the stage, cameraman's accurate takes plus mind soothing music, it is like standing in front of The Angelus by Millet. This is the moment shows Wu's solid training in visual arts and aesthetics. The music and costume reminds me of Pina Bausch's Masurca Fogo. Oculus certainly shows influence from Bausch. It is true that, in some level, had created an ingenious and heart-touching piece.

Mahler Symphony no. 5

-
It is a nice thing to spend an evening with Moment Musical , a young musical group in Taiwan. When they are playing Mahler (1860-1911), every musician viberates tremendous love of music and devotion to the concert. In total of 5 movements in Symphony no.5, musicians and the conductor play the notes at full steam, but everyone on the stage literately takes a very interesting 10 seconds break between each movement. This is a style that I have never seen before. I am not sure if that is appropriate of not; however, every performer has showed their passion via music without doubt.
