what music is wonderful. This is especially true for music from other cultures. For when we hear a song from foreign countries, such from Africa or Latin America, we get from time to time have a Insight into the strange world of emotions conveyed, even if we do not understand the text file. I would like to make time now to me no later something false is assumed.
One can with the care of exotic songs but also exaggerate. Especially with school choirs and so-called "young" choirs (which are, ironically, sometimes from housewives who need a hobby, because the children have left home and they have cabin on the head) that is the case. The result is always the We-are-the-choir-school of Hölderlin-Gymnasiums-and-we-have-more-rhythm-and-all-Brazil-effect. Maybe you know what I mean. Brave German students (and inside) Trying to immensely to the foreign music sounds really authentic. And it sounds as well: hard.
The thought, at least uncle, when he visited today with Aunt Dilein a concert in Heidenheimer Church of Christ. Heidenheim an der Brenz, insiders know, is a place where people speak a language which is understood not been in a neighboring village. In order to give this place a little cosmopolitan, well, the local school choir, then I would not say forced, but condemned by gentle force, initially a gospel show (who's just interested in Robert Ray) to sing and then together with the Chilean artist Veronica Gonzalez and to present typical musicians spiritual songs from Latin America.
know Now you have that Veronica Gonzalez is a very impressive artist, and largely braces reinforced girls and boys did their best (we may be sure that we have some of them with Dieter Bohlen see each other), but some good behavior was the young people from the rough Ostalb be noted that. They sang quite true, sometimes even really good, but it sounded strained. That has surprised
anyone: Let us take as an example Dilein aunt. Aunt Dilein sings great. She sings so well that sometimes want to give her uncle out of sheer envy a head nut, when a tone brings to light, which can dumplings than he. But Aunt Dilein's just the body and vocal apparatus is not necessarily suited to gospel singing, and even less so for Latin rhythms. Aunt Dileins world would be somewhat more rod-rhymed Valkyrie hits in Bayreuth, complete with winged helmet and lance. Even in Bach's cantatas it does not sound unpleasant. But a Shakira song would not remove her.
Equally it easy for many younger and older choirs who think - or their choir directors believe - that they now have to necessarily be the best gospel music, although they lack the soul in his voice. This strict they are then often so much as they would have to Roberta Flack Aretha Franklin sing or into the ground. It fits containing unfortunately not so. The vocal apparatus and body structure as well as the language proficiency rather containing them ideal for central European Musikgut, and that's not even that bad, there's so incredibly much choice. It then comes over and authentic. Of course one can smell inside also check out other musical worlds. One should not wonder but then, when things come off in such as when a Swabian tried to keep a hand-made paper talk "op Kölsch". Just cute.
One must, however, the authenticity can not be overdone, as uncle, who started in all seriousness, the soldier-songs from the Second World War musicological work up. His dream is to have the list of impending oblivion falling songs in a church by the crew of the "Gorch Fock". His argument: Somebody has to take care of it yes. Love is a dirty job, but someone has to do it. Good thing there is to this concert with the right to come soon forgotten songs ever.
