发帖数: 3872 | 2 上星期去Eva唱歌时跟Julia提起Chanticleer的这张唱片，今天找出硬盘上的映像
来刻，意外地发现自己以前在伊美姬上传时写的介绍，抄录在这儿：
无伴奏合唱·世界民歌[Chanticleer: Wondrous Love. TELDEC 1998]
Chanticleer是美国最优秀的无伴奏合唱组之一。除了演唱很多经典的合唱歌曲外，
他们更致力于新音乐和民间音乐的挖掘和发展。著名的旅美女作曲家陈怡
http://www.melodyofchina.com/02chn/cy.html曾担任他们驻团作曲和艺术指导，
在这张唱片中，我们可以听到她整理编配的安徽小调“凤阳花鼓”
[2: Fengyang Ge]、江苏小调“茉莉花”[7: Molihua]和台湾童谣“丢丢铜”
[20: Diu Diu Deng]。
其中“茉莉花”的编配和演唱尤值一提：三叠歌词的乐曲中，每一次反复在保留原
曲旋律主线的基础上，分别采用不同的对位丰富手法，来逐渐加强编者对词曲内在
意味的表现强度。第一叠歌中，女中音（Alto）作为旋律主线，两声部对位的男中
音（Bariton）在五度以外的音程上保持基本 |

据“中央社”报道，美国零售业重要的年底假期旺季正如火如荼展开，亟欲提升经济增长和就业率的美国总统奥巴马26日带着两个女儿，在华盛顿提早展开圣诞节购物之旅，买了许多书。
奥巴马推广“星期六小型商业”(Small Business Saturday)活动，带着13岁的女儿的玛丽亚(Malia)和10岁的萨沙(Sasha)前往华府市区的高档商圈，进入一家书店买书，并与民众握手寒暄。
奥巴马与孩子亲切交谈
据悉，今年是美国推广“星期六小型商业”活动的第2年，这一活动用意在美国经济面临困境之际，帮助购物街上的商家。
零售业者鼓励消费者在感恩节后的周六光顾小型商店，活动类似让美国人疯狂购物的“黑色星期五”和百货公司、其它大型零售业者推出的畅销和特惠活动。
奥巴马与两名爱女逛书店，买了一叠书
奥巴马说：“今天是小商家星期六(活动)，所以我们出门，支持小商店。”他与书店内的民众握手寒暄，并向大家致意，接受民众的拍照。大女儿玛丽亚站在奥巴马身边，胸前抱着一叠书。
