All right. Here we go.

La Mer, trois equisses symphoniques pour orchestre: Dialogue du vent et de la mer -- anime et tulmultuex (do diese mineur).

The Sea, three symphonic sketches for orchestra: Dialogue between the wind and the sea -- animated and tulmultous (C sharp minor).

By Claude Debussy. French Impressionistic music, which is between the romantic and contemparary periods. Emphasises not on emotion, but imagery -- the colour, subtlety, and sophistication of the piece, with tonical chords. Definitely not usual band fare.

Four years ago, RIMB made history by playing the Merry Widow, a classical band peice, during SYF when no other bands had tapped on that kind of music before. And they got Gold. Now, there are much much more bands playing classical music during SYF now. Tomorrow, RJCSB would likewise be trying the same thing by playing Impressionistic music, which had never been tried before by a JC band during SYF.

Mr. Oura has put a huge amount of faith in us by choosing this song. Now it's up to us to realise his dream, and successfully make history (thinker leader pioneer!). To play like we're "possessed" tomorrow and "pour our soul into the sea". Not only for La Mer, but safari as well. There are much more I would like to write down but I realise it's too late and frankly, dosen't really do anything. Let's just play our hearts out tomorrow, and we shall have the world.

Go RJCSB, GWH.
