w88 casino News Network (Reporter Shen Jia Photography Wei Donghan)At 19:00 on September 12, the last stop of the "2018 University of Glasgow Choir China Tour" hosted by the Confucius Institute Headquarters/Hanban, hosted by the Business Chinese Base of the w88 casino, and co-organized by the University Youth League Committee, opened grandly in the lecture hall of the w88 casino Library. The lecture hall of the library was full of light and shadow, and the seats were packed with melodious and ethereal singing flowing slowly. The choir of the University of Glasgow and the choir of w88 casino sang together on the same stage, allowing the audience to experience a fantastic artistic journey across the ocean.

The opening dance "Dance the Happy Drum" was performed by the Primary w88 casino Affiliated to the w88 casino. Their childlike and energetic dance enlivened the atmosphere of the scene. Afterwards, the host came on stage and introduced the glorious history of the University of Glasgow and its choir to the audience. Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world and has a proud tradition of high-quality teaching and research. The University of Glasgow Chorus has a history of more than 60 years since its establishment and is the w88 casino's outstanding ambassador for external exchanges.

The performance officially began. Some of the choir members lined up in two rows in the aisle of the auditorium, and some of them walked neatly onto the choir stage on the stage. The first song "O Nata Lux" ("Born in the Light") was brought in this special form. The members standing in the audience spoke first, and the singing on the stage followed closely. The melodious and long three-dimensional singing surrounded the whole place, refreshing the audience. After the singing, all the members returned to the stage and used their melodious harmonies to carefully describe the silky sadness in "Lady Eternity", creating a holy and ethereal artistic conception.

Changing from the original calm and gentle atmosphere, "Gaudeamus Omnes" ("Let's Be Happy") is very lively and joyful, showing the students' vitality with a bright rhythm. "Potato Wassail" ("Toast to Potatoes"), the male bass part sings softly, and the other parts join in to sing one by one, injecting flesh and blood into the original simple melody. The song reaches a climax after the soprano joins, but ends abruptly after a short chorus. The audience was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but feel that they still had more to say. "Chì mi na mòrbheanna" ("I saw the majestic mountains") depicts the magnificence of the mountains and rivers of Glasgow's homeland, in which Laura Blackwood's solo voice is lingering and beautiful.

The traditional Chinese folk song "Kangding Love Song" was performed by the Glasgow University Choir with a unique flavor: Chinese lyrics were interlaced with English lyrics, and high and low voices were sung in turn. Although the tune is familiar to everyone, such layered singing gives "Kangding Love Song" a unique exotic flavor. "Duncan Gray" opened with a light skipping sound, full of rhythm, and then the tune turned to melodious and ethereal after being cheerful and enthusiastic. The song ended with two "haha" sounds, which made the audience burst into laughter.

The performance of the Glasgow University Chorus came to an end, and the audience burst into warm applause.

Then w88 casino choir performed a small chorus piece “The Dear’s Cry”. The ethereal and long melody seemed to have led the audience into the wilderness.

The finale performance of this tour is "Jasmine" and "Long Live Friendship" jointly sung by the University of Glasgow Choir and our student choir. The melody is beautiful, graceful and graceful, with delicate emotions. The music is euphemistic with strength, delicate with passion, and fluttering with determination.The touching singing voice lingered in the venue, and the applause lasted for a long time.

The Chinese tour of the Glasgow University Choir finally came to an end with endless applause in the library lecture hall.
