Paraiso by Ryan Cayabyab and arranged by Chris Borela. Sung by the Madz at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in NYC, September 9, 2007. A tribute to the humanity and dignity that endure in the residents of a garbage dump.
Rest in Peace Sir JH. You’ve set the benchmark in singing the solo part of this piece. You will be missed. Thank you for the music. This has been in my playlist since forever.
Joe, the soloist will surely be missed... he just passed away today... See u on that glorious morning.. in a different Paraiso where there's no more death...
Return to a land called paraiso, A place where a dying river ends. No birds there fly over paraiso, No space allows them to endure. The smoke that screens the air, The grass that's never there. And if i could see a single bird, what a joy. I try to write some words and create A simple song to be heard By the rest of the world. I live in this land called paraiso, In a house made of cardboard floors and walls. I learned to be free in paraiso, Free to claim anything i see. Matching rags for my clothes, Plastic bags for the cold. And if empty cans were all i have, what a joy. I never fight to take someone Else's coins and live with fear Like the rest of the boys. Paraiso, help me make a stand. Paraiso, take me by the hand Paraiso, make the world understand That if i could see a single bird, what a joy. This tired and hungry land could expect Some truth and hope and respect From the rest of the world.
Ang ganda, rinig mo yung harmony ng choir, tamang tama, rinig mo bawat boses SATB walang nagmamalakasan. Tapos ang galing rin ng soloists, same lang ng volume, hindi masyadong malakas yung isa tapos mahina naman yung isa. Ang ganda at ang galing, expected sa Madrigal Singers
Makinig sa grupong ito at ang aking kaguluhan gumagalaw sa akin, ang isang grupo na may mahusay na kulay ng boses, perpekto pitch, maganda presence. Gusto ko ako ay nagkaroon ng kagalakan ng pakikinig personal dito sa Venezuela. Canto noong nito founding huling 25 sa CantArte may Master Cesar Alejandro Carrillo.
Sa bawat oras na marinig ko kahanga-hangang group, hindi ko maaaring makatulong ngunit huwag mag-masaya sapagkat ito ay kaya propesyonal at kaya kagila, ang isang thousand binabati kita at magpatuloy Pag-ani ng tagumpay bilang magandang group.
I really love how they sing this piece ..balanced sound of each Section,clear diction,Dynamics etc. nakakainspire magpatuloy sa Choir :) Keep it Up guys..I'm from BPSU Chamber Chorale po pala :)
Privileged nga po ung choir namin dito sa calumpang marikina... kasi po si ate jacq na alto ng madrigal ang nagtuturo sa amin ngayon for lent season... sobrang galing niya... at naimbitahan pa kami sa nakaraang concert nila sa CCP... thanks ate jacq,,,
Love this song, esp. when it was performed by the group, Smokey Mountain, which won the top award in a musical Tokyo festival in Japan several decades ago.
