2012 Reunion

2012 ¦~ 10 ¤ë¸t¼Ö¹ÎªF®ü»E

I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Ni Bo-Feng's passing, as many of you were. He was such a vibrant and thoughtful person, even though quiet and reserved. His obvious love for music was always evident, even as a student at TungHai. In his essay about our 2012 reunion, he quoted the names of so many of the songs we had sung, some of which I had forgotten. I remember him as Melchior when we presented "Amahl and the Night Visitors" before Christmas one year. The solo he sang was so moving, speaking of the Christ child whose kingdom was built on love alone.

I also remember at one of our reunions, 2004 or 2006, we were visiting the old Taiwanese village not too far from TungHai. I was walking with him and You Huei and 2 or 3 others, when we passed a coffee shop and he suggested we go in for a coffee and to sit down a bit. I was so grateful, for I needed a few minutes rest!

We will miss him dearly. But how fortunate we are to have known him in this context of music we have sung together. For he will never be far from us as we continue to sing Alleluia in praise to our God. Thank you, Bo-Feng, for your friendship, and thank God for your life among us.

Thanks Shao-Tang,

I just wanted to tell her that our church choir here at Pine Lake Covenant Church (Sammamish) sang the "Alleluia" by Randall Thompson on Mother's Day Sunday. (Singing Tenor part for me this time) It brought back lots of emotions and memories!

Here's a link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSWgw8pZ50E

I also learned this piece of information, Thompson once wrote that the Alleluia is -- a very sad piece. The word "Alleluia" has so many possible interpretations. The music in my particular Alleluia cannot be made to sound joyous. It is a slow, sad piece, and ... here it is comparable to the Book of Job, where it is written, "The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

Take care of yourself and the family too, we are only close to 60!

Dear Dr. Rose,

I have a secret need to tell, thanks to the training received in Tunghai, we now have a very diverse musical family!

40 years ago you allowed a non-music major couple (me and fiancee) to attend Tunghai Summer Music Camp (still remember Mozart g minor No. 40 and Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique).

As a result, our two sons inherited (some kind of) musical genes. Older son is a graphic art major turned full time musician working in Taipei, writing Hip-Hop music for pop singers like ±i´f©f¡A¿½¨È°a¡A³¯«Ù¨³¡Aand most recently ´Î´Î°ó¡]Lolliop-F¡^.

The younger son is a full time Microsoft geek and part time choir director. He established a Young Adult Choir for his church in Boston, from auditioning members, re-arranging music, to conducting an Annual Christmas Benefit Concert (we are going to see the concert this December.)

Sons

By the way, your favorite clarinetist Shao-Tang had the misfortune of getting a visit from me in June of 2010. I think he is still not fully recovered from playing the role of an exhausted tour guide, showing us all the great places in Delaware and Philadelphia.

Here are two wonderful ladies in 2004.

And I need to listen to Mozart K. 448 more often these days!

2003 ¦~¦è¶®¹Ï»E·|

It's been more than a month and it's still so difficult to take in this shocking reality that Po-Fong has passed away. We the Choir folks here in Seattle are deeply saddened. We grieve with Po-Fong's beloved wife You-Huei. She has totally collapsed and has been trying hard (so hard !) to cope with the loss of her other half ( they were truly one.). We comforted her that Po-Fong would smile if he could see from above that she was happy again. You-Huei is courageous. Hope time will help her heal.

Po-Fong's sudden death is a huge loss for our Choir. He was a good bass and a good tenor too! In the last two years, during our practices several times in Seattle for our small choir group (formed under Miao Shiao-Ping's leadership, another wonderful person we Choir produced ), I learned that Po-Fong had a profound knowledge on church music. The last letter he sent to Yuan Chu-Ping entitled " ...Alleluia..." after our 2012 reunion showed how passionate he was for the songs we had learned from Mrs. Rice and how these songs connected to his devotion to God. Also the letter expressed his love and gratitude to Mrs.Rice. We could tell he wrote this article from the bottom of his heart. He told me after the 2012 reunion that "Alleluia" was his most favorite song. At the time I gave him a kind of a bitter smile, because it's so hard a song to sing. But now I would like to suggest next time when we have a chance to sing together let's sing "Alleluia" for Po-Fong. I don't care how hard it is.

There are 2 photos attached. One was taken several years ago ( 2003 ? ) when Mrs. Rice visited Seattle. The other one was Po-Fong holding his grandson Brandon on his 1st birthday this year.

You Huei is my good friend since middle school. I knew that she and PoFeng, a church friend that she has known since very young, has become a couple in college. Since PoFeng is considered as the most handsome fine young man from my elementary school, I was so happy for You Huei. You Huei must has certain traits to attract Po Feng to set his heart on at such young age.

After attending their engagement party, we all separated and went on our journey to US. One day in 1990, an anonymous lady called me. Surprisingly, I can recognize that it was You Huei immediately after separating for almost 10 years.

1990

Since then, we got to know more about PoFeng when we spent time together with their families.

In May, 2011, We visited them night before we took the Alaska Cruise at Seattle. We are so impressed when we saw PoFeng played with his airplane kits. During the visit, we invited them to join us for our annual Lake Tahoe vacation that June. They purchased the airplane tickets right away. Later, we learned that it was the week of their anniversary. We had a wonderful time together. I learned that PoFeng is such a talented and patient photographer. PoFeng sent us a DVD with lots of good photos of our trip. Since PoFeng is the photographer, he is in none of these photos.

But, these are some photos from his portfolio:

This is after PoFeng found Youhuei's eye glasses that was dropped under the bridge at eagle fall around their 37th anniversary.

2011

This one is where they wanted to build their lakeside house for the later part of their life.

2011

We promised to go back to Seattle after their new lake front house is built. (Planned in 2014)

We didn't realize that GOD's plan is higher than our plan. GOD is so anxious to bring PoFeng to rest in HIS house. We believe PoFeng is rest in peace in GOD's arm. We are also appreciated that You Huei has Bryan's families close by during this hardest time of her life.

2012 Gathering

2012 ¦~ 10 ¤ë 24 ¤é¦b Dr. Rose ®a

Dear beloved choir friends,

Two days ago I learned about the sudden departure of our choir friend ­Ù§B®p, and I was totally saddened and shocked. I can not believe the tragic news because David looked healthy and happy at our Oct 2012 TH choir reunion.

Thinking back, during Dec. of 2011 & Jan. of 2012 when I first started discussing our choir reunion song selection with our choir members, David and I had exchanged several emails. I was amazed at how smart, happy, helpful, friendly, and calm he sounded in his emails, and how brilliant his son and daughter-in-law have been in music, academics, and other areas. Of course, David and Corina were most proud and happy having their most adorable and handsome grandson. I learned a lot from reading his kind and well-written emails, and also enjoyed the YouTube songs he sent to me (especially those choir songs conducted by his son at Boston before.)

This morning I went through my Yahoo email, and found 3 previous emails I received from David. Please see the attached file I made which contains 3 David's 3 emails, 2 choir reunion pictures, and a 'guitar pattern' graduation card design made by David for our 1969 choir member graduates. I thought I will share these precious letters and pictures with you for our memories.

By the way, even though my email communications with David was brief in 2011/2012, I have learned a lot on religion, music, and friendship from him. Till now, I still listen to Highrock Church Choir performances, especially during the Christmas season.

Let us pray David's (§B®p) soul will forever rest in peace and in heaven with God and angels. My deep sympathy and my hearts go to Corina and her entire family at this difficult and heart-breaking period.

love,
Patsy »¯ÀR©É

Dear Patsy,

Just have to brag about my son, the amateur conductor, and his church choir in Boston (¦Ñ¤ý½æ¥Ê¦Û½æ¦Û¸Ø) . Please see the link:

"Christmas Joy Reprise" performed by Highrock Church

Jan. 4, 2012

Dear Patsy,

Thank you for the kind words, last December was the first time we attended my son's Christmas concert, we had no idea that he could direct a choir. (and made them memorized the music)

He moved to Boston in 2006 (working for Microsoft) and established a new young adult choir for Highrock church. The concert was their 5th annual Christmas Benefit Concert, with 72 members on stage. By the way, the soloist of "A Savior Born" is my daughter-in-law Amy, can you tell she is going to have a baby in April? They just moved back to Seattle last week because Amy is starting her post-doctoral research at UW, and we promised to take care of the new baby.

On the first day of new year we had dinner at Larry (§õÀs¶Q) & Grace Li's home, there were 7 Tunghai choir members out of 10 people at the table. Everyone is planning to attend the choir reunion! We wish you and your family, a very happy new year too!

Hi Patsy,

I sent an email to Mrs. Rice 2 days ago. Sun Shao-Tang used to relay Mrs. Rice's news to us, but I only learned her recent surgeries from you, Patsy. (Oops, the email was returned - the correct address should be ........)

When I retired from singing in church choir here 2 years ago, I sent her an email on Mother's Day; the last song we sang was "Alleluia" by Randall Thompson, I wanted to thank her for introducing so many meaningful hymns to us. If I remember correctly, this piece was one of our choir music in "68 - '69; here's a recent version by ¥x¤j Choir on YouTube.

Alleluia (Randall Thompson) by National Taiwan University Chorus

And by the way there's also this interesting link on YouTube:
