2. I was able to completely visualize the suffering of Christ through the vocal glissandos in the song "Eli! Eli!" The image was something like "Christ inundated with exhaustion and suffering". The immense depth of every repetition of "Eli! Eli!" still reverberates through my mind.
3. Until now, I'm still trying to completely contemplate and get a grasp of "De Profundis!". Profundity means "depth", and the lyrics are lifted from Psalm 130. In their song there were continuous, constant, low-note repetitions of "De Profundis!" while the other lyrics were done in a chaotic-domino-effect fashion, along with several other arrangements which I most likely didn't notice. Indeed it is something which I could call "several lamellated layers of depth-filled music".
4. Since two songs were dedicated to Torrevieja, I had to search it up. Torrevieja means "Old Tower" and currently it is a municipality in Spain.
5. Their rendition of the "Bituin Walang Ningning" is otherworldly.
6. I can only remain in utter reverie in their rendition of "Rolling in the Deep". Despite the choreography, stomping, rhythm variations and dramatic sforzandos, they were able to maintain such an immaculate synchronicity.
7. Contrary to the programme sheet, they performed additional songs, "Overture" and "Circle of Life" (from Lion King). Overture was really awesome, with its perfect metronome.
8. Circle of Life, on the other hand, transcends the very definition of "vividness" and "reveries". They were not only able to maintain a perfect rhythm, but they were also able to integrate animal sounds, meticulous as they are - bird, monkey, etc. Hats off to the amazing soloists who powered up the chorus.
P.S. Maybe it would be even better without the "mic of death".
