English challenges


I think that the subject is important, because learn another lenguage is always important... What I like of this subject is that I could talk about others things, they were not always related with music. I could distract me... But very honestly, I don't like English xD not the classes, but I don't like the  I don't like that the society and the capitalism oblige to learn English, obligatory (why not Spanish or French, or German?) ... Only for this reason I don't like the lenguage, but I find very necesary and important to know...
Using the blog was very good for me, because I could "relax me" with the lenguage, I mean, I could dare to write what I think in another lenguage without scary or embarrassment. I think that I could get more trust for when I should talk in English. So, I need more talking, because I never or unusually I do that (only in the class), and I need know more words, because always when I talk, come the words in German xD I confuse both lenguages when I talk xd I must learn to separate or differentiate both... To reinforce the grammar and learn new words, I see movies in English, and I try to understand without read the subtitles... So, I could learn many words in German...
Even so, I must talk outside the Englishclass, because I never do that xD I promise that I will do that! My brothers can speak very good English, because they were at exchange student in USA (I was in Germany xd), and I will talk more in English to practice with them :)

Reflections


I think, this year was ok. I don't want say good or bad, because I had good and bad moments.
This year was special, because in my faculty have been a "toma", and for this reason I could do things that maybe I didn't can do because of the time... One thing, that I could do was composing. I had very much time to compose a work for a composition's competition (Luis Advis), and with this work I won the second prize in this competition. It was one of the good moments of this year for me, because it was a beautiful experience and very exciting for me. I could hear my music in another city (in La Serena), with profesional musicians... It was perfect :)
Another good thing was that I could get a job (teaching cello and readind music). In this year I needed more money than the past years, and this job was coming in the perfect moment. I love my job because I like teaching, and it's very satifactory for me see that the youngs going learn more and more, and in the lastest clases I saw how much the youngs have learnt this year...
And a thing bad (but good xd) was that I had a operation in a finger. I couldn't play cello and piano for four months... It was terrible for me because I love playing music and I couldn't do that!!! u.u but I couldn't play with the right hand, and waht was happen with the left? xD I found works for only the left hand! I learned a few works, one of them was "Nocturne" by Scriabin, a very very beautiful piece! Now, I can play piano very comfortable, because before I had problems to play: I couldn't stretch my finger very well...
That was my year! Now, I'm waiting for the last exams! I hope that I could approve all subjects...

Summer!

Normally, I work in summer. For this reason, I'm not accustomed to planing vacations for the summer. But this summer I will not work because I want do something different than working and I want have a moment to relax.
I don't know really what I want to do, maybe travel to Argentina or make a trip through Valle del Elqui. I was one time in Valle del Elqui, but I didn't know the vineyards and the "pisqueras" because I was for a one day there. I would like to be in this place at least a one week.  Maybe I would make this trip with a friend, because we spoke about know the Valle del Elqui, specially the "pisqueras", but the problem is that he doesn't know if he would have time to do that, because he should work in the summer... well, if he couldn't make a trip, I would make that alone...
And, how I said, I would travel to Argentina with my girlfriend. That is a travel, it we would want to make the last summer, but we didn't have enough money to stay there. I mean, we had only money to pay the tickets xD... Now, I have money to make this travel. We would like stay in Argentina (in Buenos Aires) for one week. We have only one reason why we would want to travel to Argentina: buy books, because the notes and the psychology's books are not very expensive than in Chile. Besides, I have tow very good friends in Argentina. One of them comes from Chile and studies in Argentina, and the other friend is from Argentina, she's name is Anahi. I have know Anahi for a six years I think, when we were in Germany. In the same year we maked a exchange year in the same country and the same city xD. I would like to visit her...
Well, I'm not sure if I could make this two things in summer, because I want compose and I need time for that, because I have a few "orders", they I want do as soon as possible! Maybe, I would make only one... I don't know which...

Money


The money isn't important for me. If the money would be important for me, I didn't chose studying music... maybe I would study engineering to get more money... I don't need money to do the things what I like (composing, playing a instrument, walking), and maybe for this reason the monet haven't a important place in my life.
Well, I have a job now to do something with my friends, buy somethings for my cello (for example strings)... I will spend my money on what I really need and not on what the advertising say that I need . I'm not materialist. I don't need buy all. I buy only what I need... Also, I save part of my money to travel to Germany (that is the biggest reason why I have a job xd). Even so, I don't get much money at the end of the month. I must very organized with my budget, but because I wouldn't suvirve in the month. Always I save a little bit of money for emergency cases (you don't know when it could happen something). Luckily, I never had to pawn something, but if I feel me obliged to do that sometime, I don't know what I could pawn, because I don't have value belongings, except my cello and my notes haha But I would prefer playing cello outside the metro to get a little bit of money xd...
If I would be millonaire, I would buy a few buildings or houses to rent, then I would live with the money of the rents. And the rest of money, that I would have (because I would millonaire), I would hide it, like a "seach of the treasure". I would make maps for the people, then they could seach my fortune and who had reached find the treasure, could keep for himself.

Environment!


I remember when I was at the school, we had more speech about the environment )how the world safe, about recycle, the global warming), but we didn't never something related with that... But when I was in Germany, at the school, the concern about environment is bigger that in Chile, in this moment I think. For example, I remember that every week one class had clean the school (I mean, clean up the papers, etc.), and in the school you have trashes with different colors for different things (one for paper, other for tins for all plastic and metallic, and other for organic things). I think that the concern about recycling you can learn since the school, because in this country the all people separate the things before take out the trash.. you can find different trashes in all places (in stadiums, in the airport, in the railway stations). The school have a important role in the society to have concern about safe the environment.
When I came back, I tried to recycle in my home, but it was useless, because the concern about recycle must start from the government, or the mayor of the city, and then the people can be more concerned to recycle. In my city, since three or two year, started with a "political of recycling", that means that all people must separate the papers and the other things.
Well, other thing is the compost. In my city are not much buildings. For this reason, the people lives in houses, with bigger yards in some houses, then more people concerns to keep very beautiful the yards, and some people have a little farm too. In those cases, the compost is very important because you use it as fertilizer. and you don't spend much money for a fertilizer because you use the organic matters to do that.
In Santiago, I don't do that because I live in a building xd. For this reason my way to contribute whit the environment is using a bike. I don't use often the public transport or cars, I prefer walking or using a bike. Other way to contribute wiht the environment maybe is participated in a organisation like Greenpace... I don't like that and I don't have time to participate in some things xd...

My future job


Well, It's very difficult for me talking about my "working future", because I don't know if I really would have a job as composer...I would say that no composer lives from the composition. You should find other possibilities "to finance" the composition's projects. For example, you can conduct a orchestra, working at school or at the university as teacher, if you play some instruments you can teaching too, or get a place in a orchestra or music group... I find that a little comical, because even though studying composition (a looooong major) you should study other things related with music, if you want to do something with music...

The biggest concern for my parents about that, is if I could get a stable job. Well, that is very difficult to explain because when I decided studying composition, I didn't think in the working field, but I thought in what I wanted do in my life. I think when you do something only because you want to do that (without thinking in the future), the chances came alone. In my case it's so. I do the things only because I want do that, and I have had lucky maybe, because now I have gotten a job as teacher not because I looked for that, but for what I did and accomplished as musician.

In this moment I'm not sure what I would do in the future, but I would like do two things: teaching composition (or another subject) at the university, and conducting a orchestra. First, I would like to study a master in another country (master in composition), because when you have a master (or better a doctorate) is more easy to get a job in a university. And after that, maybe studying orchestra conducting...
Well, I don't have clear my future... xD

Best Friends


I don`t have many friends, but the friends that I have are very good. I can say I have three good friends. One of they I met in the school. He' Alonso. We were in the same class since 1º basico until 4º medio, and now we meet us often, because he and I are studying in Santiago. When we meet us, we talk about the things the "stupid" things what we did when we were young. Maybe because we enjoyed do that... He isn't very crazy, but when we were together, we do somethings a little crazy xD.
For four years ago, I think, I knew Eduardo. We met us in a party. Something that caught my attention was that we didn't talk about interests or alcohol, but we told about books, music and psychology. That was very unusual for me, because until this moment I didn't know someone that is not artist or musician and have common interests with me. After that, we had more contact by facebook, and while we told I noticed that we were very similar in owns personalities. I have good memories with him! Once that we went to a party together, we were not in a "good alcoholic status", and I had the best idea that I would be german for this night. It was very funny because all in the party didn't know me and believed that I was german... Well, we did many things, but I cannot talk about that. It's a promise that we maked. Now we are very good friends and always when I have a problem or something else, I talk with him.
And Pablo. I met Pablo in the university.We started to go to concerts together because we have the same music taste, and after the concerts we went to drink a beer, and then we told about music and about own works (I mean own compositions). Since this moment, we always told about own things, and when we had more trust, we told about other things those were not related with music. We always did the things for the university together and we studied harmony or counterpoint. Now he don't study more music, but he study psychology. I miss him in the university, but we meet us very often and we talk hours and hours about owns things...

A day to remember



A day, that I can remember as if it were yesterday, was when the Chilean Symphonic Orchester played my first work for orchester (the concert was at 16th Januar). This work was a new interpretation of one of the movements of a concert for guitar (it's like a orchester version) . This movement I found very interesting and I liked it too. I had composed relatively fast (so, I needed about tow weeks to compose this).
The first orchester's rehearsal was incredible!  When the music started to sound, I felt butterflies in one's stomach. I had no words to describe the feeling that I felt in this moment... I didn't believe that my music was sounding by a symphonic orchester. It was a "pibe dream", because I think that a lot of young composers would wish to listen a work for orchester.
The concert was other thing. I was very accompanied by my family, my girlfriends and friends, but I was very very nervous (maybe more nervous than the musicians xD). I remember when the music started, I closed my eyes and heard the first note (a unison and the flute took the resonance of this note), it was like to open a window to other world... I cannot describe the feeling, the emotion of this moment... When the music came to the end, I went to the scenary and saw the public in the teather.. I said "wow!" and the aplausses began to sound... it was very exciting for me...
I will never forget this moment... I think it is the most important moment of my short life...

The first concert of my life


Well... I have never been in a concert of popular music (I mean rock, pop, etc.).  Maybe because I listen music of the 70's - 80's (and I don't like really the "tribute bands" because it is not the same)... and maybe because I started very young to play classical music, for this reason I started to hear more Mozart, Bach, Beethoven too and I went often to concerts to listen my favorite composers.
 I was 10 or 11 years old when I went to the first concert of my life in Viña del Mar, in the municipal theater of this city (my uncle was going to play flute in this concert, for this reason I went to Viña with my family). I heard "The Magic Flute" by Mozart (that is one of my favorite pieces by Mozart).It was the best thing that I've never seen and heard!!! It was incredible for me! Listen live the orchester, the singers, all of them... When I listened the first note, it gave me goosebumps!!! the sound of the orchester was very different than listen the same in a CD. After the concert, when I was at home, I listened a CD of "The Magic Flute", and I felt immediately that hear live music is one of the best things in the world haha. Since this moment, I went to concerts very often with my uncle, and today I go often to concerts because I like very much listen live music. It is a unique experience!

A country I would like to visit






I was in Europe for a few years ago, and it was fantastic! the architecture, the landscapes, everythings. But I didn't feel that all was different, or special, or something caught my atention. I think that was so, because in Chile you can find many buildings, those are very similar to the some buildings in Europe. The south of Chile is like a little Germany! hahaha... For this reason, I want  know  something really different with my culture, something "exotic": Indonesia.
Indonesia is, in reality, a group of islands. Each island have differents things, because of that you should travel through the islands in a boat. I think it's like Venice, but bigger xD The religion in this country is the Buddhism. I really like this religion (I don't like say "religion" because I find it is a philosophy of life), how the people express or " pray" them to Buda through their chants (Mantras). I love mantras! In Bali, for example, you can find the "gamelans". That is a orchester with insrtuments very exotic, with special sounds. That's amazing...
And, finally, I like the landscapes of the country. The buildings are unique in the world! It is dificult for me imaginate how people, 2000 or 3000 years ago, could build so bigger structures. I would want to see those...

welcome!



Hello!

I'm Sebastian, I'm 22 years old and I study composition at the Faculty of arts of the Universidad de Chile.
My weakness in English is speaking, because I should know more words. When I speak, I try to think in English, but I get confused with German, because I know more words in German than in English and if I don't know any word, inmediatelly the word in German goes to my mind... I hope that I could get separate in my mind those languages, because I cannnot do that like when I write. And I think that my strength is the grammar, because it's similar with the German grammar (a few things).
To practice listening, I watch movies in English, for example. Even so it is not easy for me to understand English in the different accents, for example, It is very difficult for me to understand the English from India, but the British English is more familiar for me.
For this semester, I hope that I would be better by speaking and know more words to not confuse German and English...

LEVEL 4 - Second term 2015

My experience with the blogs



Well, I found this experience good, but, for my, was a little boring xd because I don't like writting about what I think or what like. That's a very personal opinion. Even so, this activity is very original to learn a language, because you can reading the post of the other studients and you can make a "online interaction" in english with them too... When I started to learn german, I had writting anything in a paper, and after reading that to the class. We didn't give a opinion about what we wrote, then we hadn't a dialog in the class... With the blogs, we can do that... Other thing that I found important of this experience is when I write in english, I must thinking in english, and not trying to translate. That's is very important to manipulate a language. When I began to speak german, I traslated all. That's was not good because something I maked grammatical mistakes or nobody could understand what I meant. For this reason, I found that's important, because when I'm writting in english, I'm thinking in english. Even though, when you can writting fluent in english is more easy reading in english, I think... (that I i find that writting be important to learn a other laguage, not mean that for my is not boring, becuase even so is boring for my xd).
I find that this semester I could be better by writting, because I felt me relax and I could thinking faster in english as before. 

I think that maybe in the future we could make a video in english about any topic. For example, a cooking video. I find that interesting and funny! and we could upload to youtube (or to a blog), and the studients could to give a opinion about that too... I don't know xD

My favorites movies


Today, I'm going to talk about movies.

I have two favorites movies: one for them is "Forrest Gump".I like this movie. because show to you a way of life very special, where the humility that's important. Forrest could get his things, because he didn't have a propose for the life or something similar, but for two reason I think: 1.- he did the things because he wanted doing those 2.- because for him the little things were important like the big things. That's why he told his histories without exaggerate, I think.
And the other movie that I like is "The pursuit of Happyness". What I find very cool for this film is that Chris Gardner (the protagonist) shows to his son that the life could be hard even thought you should to be happy. Chris had a hard life, very difficult who he had to exert himself to get a better life for him and his son. This thing caught immediately my attention when I saw this film, because I think that's important to be always happy without be important the problems in the life, and because Chris maked a special effort to get something in his life.... I haven't a favorite genere, or actor, or director. Normally, I watch a movie when someone tell me about a movie, which it watched before; or I watch the trailer of a movie, and when I find good the trailer, I watch the movie... so easy xd... But I like better movies about mystery, or movies when you after are pensive watching the movie. For this reason I like those two movies :)

Music = my life :)


Hello everyone!

I'm going to talk about the most important thing in my life: the music. For me, the music means all, that is a way of life, way of thinking, way of feeling, etc.

When I was a child, I lived with my grandparents. My grandfather had a "cumbia band" (he has even this), and I listened when they practiced. My uncle played drumms in this band, and he maked a drumm for me with tins and wood boxes (I liked playing it). That was my first approximation with music... Besides, my uncle showed me songs by Silvio Rodriguez. For this reason, I like very much his music! I think he is one of my favorite popular musicians... I grew up with music around me. For example, at 18th september, my family improvises a "fonda" for us, and we play cuecas and very known songs (for example, "puerto montt", songs by Buddy Richard, Pollo Fuentes. I don't like this music, but all in my family know ther songs).

After, when I was 10 years old, I started to lernning cello in a conservatory of my city (La Ligua). I remember that the cello was bigger than me xD that was very funny when I walked with the cello in my back, because that liked a cello with legs haha. In this year, I knew Apocalyptica. It's a metal band, and the members are 4 cellist. The music is very good. They have covers of songs by Metallica, for example ...
However, I was very happy when I played this instrument. I practiced every day, 2 or 3 hours per day. I was lerning very fast; I could play in one year my first cello solo in the orchestra of the conservatory. That was an unforgettable experience for me. Since this first experience, I like play in concerts, in orchestras, in ensambles, solos, etc... After that, wehn I practiced, I liked improvise, and one day, I decided my writing my improvisation. That was my first composition. Some time later, I started to study composition with my cello's teacher (he was a composer too), because I liked writing music... For those reasons, I decided to studying composition, and I think I'm one of the happier persons of the world, because I do what makes me happy (as a clam :)).

Food!!!


Hello everyone!

I'm going to talk about food =)

When I lived with my partents, I cooked never, because I haven't any idea about that... That only waht I could cooking was fried eggs. After, when I moved to Santiago to live alone, I had gone to learn cooking. First, I started to cooking spaghettis, because it's very easy and you can mix this with waht you like (meat with sauce, tuna with cream, etc.) (normally when the students live alone, they cook easy things, because the culinary techniques aren't good ;) )  . But I didn't start to cooking spagetthis because that's easy, but also I like pastas! That's is my favorite food =)

I love spagetthis, lasagna, ravioli, etc... The more I cooked spagetthis, I noticed that the sauce is the most important thing in the pastas. For this reason I started to make in different ways the sause (with naturals tomatoes, with some herbs, etc.). also the most important is how do you flavour... waht I like most cooking is lasagna. I love lasagna. When I have been in Italy, I ate the best lasagna in the world! For this reason I love cooking lasagna. I cook rhis with cheese, tomatoes sauce with meat (I don't talk about how I do the sauce, because it's a secret), ham and olives. The only wath I don't know how cook that is the pasta ( I use the pasta, which you find in the supermark, to cooking lasagna), but I want start to do that =) And I want try to cooking a vegetarian lasagna, but I don`t konw clearly which ingredients I can use for that, have you any idea for that?

About a big musician!



Hello!!!

In this post, I will talk about a great french musician (one of my favorites composers). He's name is Oliver Messiaen.



Oliver Messiaen was born in 1908, in France, and dead in 1992 at the age of 81. When he was a child, exactly 11 years old, began his musical studies in the conservatory of Paris. Between his teachers were Marcel Dupré (organ) and Charles-Marie Widor (composition). He was organist Église de la Sainte-Trinité in Paris and he teached harmony and compisition at the Conservatory of Paris until 1978. He had very distinguished students, some for them were Pierre Boulez, Iannis Xenakis and Karlheinz Stockhausen (they were important composers of the 20th century). In 1940 he was capturaed at prisoner in the second world war, and then was taken to Görlitz the same year. Where he was, he wrote one of his most important pieces: "Quartet for the end of time". This work was written for musicians, they were at prisioners too.  

In "Quartet for the end of time", for example, he used the modes of limited transposition and rhythms very specials. On one hand, the modes have a particular harmony and you can transpose the mode to limited notes, for example, the first mode you can transposing only to one note; the tirth mode only to three notes. And On other hand, the rhythm  (it he often used) was abstracted of the "gamelan" (music of Bali). He had analysed this music to undertand how function that, and then can write with this new method to compose. For this reason, rhythmically his works are difficult.
And something important about Messiaen is that he transcribed the birdsongs. That's is other important thing in his work. You can se that in different Messians's works, for example, "Catalogue d'oiseaux". In this work, you can find differents birdsongs, in differents ways.
With his "tools" to compose, he could make his own musical lenguage, and with that distinguished betweet the composers in his same time. He wrote the book "the technique of my musical lenguage" in 1944, where you can find how he "run" in his music. That I find notable, because is very dificult for a artist getting a own lenguage, with which one can be most notable between the composers.
I consider this composer very imporant, because he used things, they are around me, for example the birdsongs. That is so daily, that isn't important fr me, but when you pay attention to waht is around you, you could find more interesting things, they could use for a composition, for example. And, because his music is easy how composed it is, it's easy to listen too. His music has a special color for the modes and for the instruments. He used a little bit of his tools to construct a big piece! For example, in the piece "Praise to the eternity of Jesus", he used only one rhythm in the piano over the piece, while the cello plays a beatiful melody.

the best picture in the world =)






     This is a very famous photo. It was taken by Charles C. Ebbets, in a New York during a construction in 1932. I don't know how he has taken the picture, because you can don't see the floor, you see that the men are seating as if they were flying, and that's very dangerous, because it could be very terrible when one for their had fallen down while Charles took the picture... for this reason I think that how he has taken this photo is a mystery....
 
    I like this picture because for me, that's the workers are above the city, is like a "symbolism". This photo is for the time of the Industrial Revolution, and I think that the workers in the construction or same works, were the most important people in this time, and it's no casual that because they are seating above the city because they are in the "height" of the city. Only this people, the city couldn't be as it is in the picture's background... Besides, I like for this picture the perspective of the city too, and when I would put myself in their shoes, I could have the best view of the city from this place!

my pets :)



When I was a child, I had two pets. One of them was a dog, Severino. When I met him, he was very old, I think 7 years old. I grew up with him, and I have a good memories for this time... I remember that when I ate ice-cream or something else, I got him to eat to, or when I gave food to him (dog food) I ate too :). Besides Severino was a quiet dog. He had never fought with cats or another animals, in fact the cats slept on him while he slept too! that's is very "curious" for a dog... And when he died, (because he was very old and sick) it was sad for me...

After, I had another pet. It was a cat, Matias. He was my brother's pet. I didn't like really cats, then for this reason I didn't play with him... I remember when he slept on my bed, I took him out it, because I'm allergic to cat hair. I hated it, because I couldn't sleep good, but Matias could sleep excellent! maybe because my bed was very comfortable... well, he left my house after 3 years to living with us. I think he left us because we weren't the all day in at home, and the animals need be in contact with others, and he was always into the house, then when we were at home, we left him to be in the yard. Maybe he had taken this oportunity to go back... My brother was very sad, because he never came back...

My favorite piece of technology


Hello again :)

Today, I will tell you about my favorite gadget (or better my favorites gadgets) because they are the electric instruments :)

                                                 


I have a keyboard (or synthetizer), and I got it when I was a child, because I wanted play piano, but a piano is more expensive as a keyboard... for this reason I got it :)... I found there instrument very interesting and funny, because the instrument have options to change the sound, then you can do more sounds,  most differents as the normal sound of a piano. For example, when you connect the keyboard with a computer, you could get another sound, and they could be very interesting for you... always when I want make strange sounds, I play keyboard to have fun :)
I like there instruments, because you can do that with all electric instruments, and I find it fantastic, because normally you can make some sounds only with the instrument's posibilities give you. For example, with a electric cello or violin, , for example, connecting a "guitar pedal board", you can make strange sounds, they aren't normally "typical" of the instruments.
Without there instruments, maybe the rock or pop couldn't have exist, because the electric instruments are very important to make this music, and maybe, the life would be boring...

Expectations for a new semester



This semester will be very hard for my, because I have taken ten subjects and I will begin to working in a school in May (specifically to teaching cello and music-theory). Even so, I have a big expectation for this term: playing oboe :) I love this instrument and I practice every day, because in this moment I have the time for that, but I'm not sure if I will have it... About the subjects, I have piano lessons and "notes reading" (it's a playing notes for choir, orchestra or ensamble in the piano). There two subjects I find very interesting, because I learn more about harmony and orchestration (although I have more to do, when I play piano I forgot all and I feel me very good, it's very comfortable for me).

I conduct a ensamble, and I have a project with it: that's is a playing compositions for students of composition for the arts faculty in a concert in October (I hope that). This project I find very important for the career, because the students have a few chances to hear or listen their music. I hope that the concert would be spectacular!

Besides I play cello in a little orchestra to relax me :) because I play cello for a 9 years I think, and I find that funny, because the people for the orchestra are likeable, and in this orchestra it's not very important if you can playing the instrument good or not very good, because we do that only to enjoy the music :)

I hope this year I could become good at playing oboe and piano and about my project with the ensamble  I hope would be it special for the composers, they could perform a work with us...

Hello!!! :)

Hello :)

I'm Sebastian and I was born in Viña del Mar, in 1993,but I didn't lived in this city; I spend my childhood living in La Ligua with my parents. I studied the elementary and secondary school in La Ligua, when I lived with my mom, my sister, and my brother still, but I made a student exchange in Germany wehn I was 16 years old (it was for a one year). And wehn I came back from Germany, I moved to live with my father trought in La Ligua (near of my mom's house).

After the school, I started studying degree in Composition in the Universidad de Chile, in Santiago. For this reason I came to Santiago to live, alone... In the future I want studying a master in composition in Germany, particulary in Leipzig with Claus Mahnkopf, because I find his work very interesting, he is a good composer, and his musical esthetic I find enought "similar" with waht I try searching for a musical lenguage.

Apart from studying composition, I love playing cello. I play in a little orchestra in Santiago at Saturdays. It's very funny, because for almost everybody in the orchestra it's a hobby. We want only playing music for ourselves, for ours spirits :)!!! When you want comming to this orchestra, you must be enthusiastic and want make music only because you want do that :)...
