Program
1. 野子
Composer: 苏运莹 Arranger: Estee陈伊唯 Soloist: Estee陈伊唯 Conductor: Bianca Sheng 介绍： 《野子》是黎族歌手苏运莹的出道及成名曲，这首歌是苏运莹在北京上学的时候，哼着哼着就创作了出来的。歌词传达了一种即使渺小也要无畏地勇往直前的力量感，让我觉得很适合送给即将毕业的seniors们。大家马上要离开学校进入社会丛林，应该也像我一样又有期待又有彷徨吧。希望seniors们可以如歌词所述，“握紧手中坚定，却又飘散的勇气”，无论有什么困难，都要勇敢、一直往大风的吹的方向走过去。 这首歌本身的伴奏非常简单，所以我在编a capella的时候加入了很多自己的想法和创意。在歌曲中给soprano写了很多民歌范儿的歌词，比如说"ho-yi-ya",还有“a-e-yi-ya", 有点像野性的呼唤，感觉是一个少数民族的孩子在对着大山和大海随性地高歌。同时，在“吹呀吹呀我的骄傲放纵”的高潮部分，我用了“Dang”这种洪亮的伴奏音，让整首歌充满了激昂的情绪，像是大山和大海回应了歌者的呼唤。同时，女低和男高的部分时不时有上下的琶音音阶，给人一种不断越过山丘、攀登一座座高山的感觉。最后，bbox的装饰音也模仿了大风吹过的感觉。我如此改编，是想给听众带来希望和宏大感，希望大家听完之后，能浑身充满豪情和冲劲！ Introduction: "Wild Child" is the debut song and the most famous song of singer Su Yunying from the Li Ethnic Group from China. This song was composed by Su Yunying when she was studying in Beijing, purely by humming, when she was free. The lyrics tells the story of a girl who moves forward fearlessly despite being young, which I think is a perfect song to sing for my Class of 2022 peers. I guess all of us are both aspirational but also a little anxious like me. I hope that seniors can "hold the firm, yet scattered courage" as the lyrics say. No matter the difficulties, they must be brave and "keep walking in the direction of the strong wind". The original arrangement of the song is very simple, so I added my own ideas and creativity when arranging this song. In the song, I wrote a lot of folk song-like lyrics for Soprano, such as "ho-yi-ya", and "ae-yi-ya". They are like the calling of the wilderness, like a child singing towards mountains and the sea. At the same time, for the chorus part, I use the sound "Dang", which sounds powerful and grand, like the mountains and the sea responding to the singer's voice. call. At the same time, the alto and tenor sections have arpeggiated scales up and down, which feels like climbing mountains. Finally, the bbox sound also imitates the wind. I arrange the song this way because I want to bring a feeling of hope and grandness to the audience. I hope that after listening to it, everyone will be full of aspiration and energy.
2. 成都
Composer: 赵雷 Arranger: Bianca Sheng Soloist: Nick Sha Conductor: Estee陈伊唯 介绍： 《成都》是赵雷演唱的歌曲，由赵雷创作歌曲。此歌曲收录于赵雷2016年发行的音乐专辑《无法长大》。歌曲《成都》的旋律舒缓，歌词刻画了许多有关成都的细节，歌曲中出现的”玉林路“等地名，许多民谣音乐人所心爱的小酒馆。特别是在耐人寻味的歌词里，比如”和我在成都的街头走一走，直到所有的灯都熄灭了也不停留“等，无不引起了成都人的共鸣，同时也勾起了网友对成都的憧憬与回忆。歌词中透露着一些生活中稀疏平常的小事被赵雷弹唱成曲，其中没有过多花哨的技巧和华丽的辞藻，只有自然而然的真情流露，在不经意间击中了聆听者的内心世界。 Introduction: Chengdu is a song sung by Zhao Lei and composed by Zhao Lei. This song is included in Zhao Lei's 2016 album Unable to Grow Up. The song Chengdu has a soothing melody, and the lyrics describe many details about Chengdu, including place names such as "Yulin Road", and pubs beloved by many folk musicians. Especially in the thought-provoking lyrics, such as "Walk with me through the streets of Chengdu until all the lights go out and don't stay", all resonate with Chengdu people and arouse their longing for and memories of Chengdu.The lyrics reveal some common sparse things in life are played and sing into a song by Zhao Lei, without a lot of fancy skills and beautiful rhetoric, only natural truth hits the listener's inner world inadvertently.
3. 让我留在你身边 x 陪你度过漫长岁月
Composer: C.Y. Kong Arranger: Xinqing Huang Soloist: Xinqing Huang Conductor: Bianca Sheng 介绍: 《让我留在你身边》由唐汉霄作词作曲，《陪你度过漫长岁月》由葛大为作词、由黎晓阳、谢国维谱曲；两首歌曲都由陈奕迅演唱。在选择毕业solo的时候，“陪伴”这个主题关键词出现在了我脑海里，我立刻就想到了这两首歌。因为两首歌我都很喜欢，不想舍弃任何一首的我便开始构思如何可以把这两首歌串在一起。唐汉霄创作的歌有很鲜明的个人特色，主歌常常是低吟浅唱，而进入到副歌部分便开始释放情绪、放声高歌，曾有一位歌手描述唐汉霄创作的歌曲副歌部分是在“抓光”。这个特色在《让我留在你身边》里也有所呈现。歌曲开头的低语是向内收的，是经历、是回忆、是沉思；到了副歌部分则开始外放，正能量在明确地传递出来之后才能更好地被汲取，就像是一束光突然洒下，而演唱者在追光。在安可版的编曲里，我也有意地让情绪在三次副歌中层层递进，在最后一次副歌的情绪最高点转调进入《陪你度过漫长岁月》。《陪你》的MV里有一句出自电影《陪安东尼度过漫长岁月》的经典台词：“世界上有一条最寂寞的鲸鱼，叫Alice。这个世界里有很多很多人，都是Alice。”而当我偶然发现这两首歌的歌名缩写是“让我陪你”的时候，我更确定了加入《陪你》副歌的想法。两首以“陪伴”为主题的歌，旋律歌词无不在传递温暖；于我而言，再动人的情话也比不上一句“让我陪你”。孤独寂寞总是难免的，但希望你的身边总有一个可以陪伴你的人，或许是你的朋友、你的爱人、你的家人，也或许是你自己。而对于我，安可的陪伴就是我大学四年最离不开的温暖。哪怕即将毕业，我也希望自己可以在未来的日子里，以另一种方式陪伴安可很久很久。 Introduction: Let Me Stay is a song written by Tang Hanxiao; Sleep Alone is a song composed by Lai Hiu Yeung and Tse Kwok Wai, lyrics written by David Ke. Both songs were sung by Eason Chan. Let Me Stay and Sleep Alone both have a theme of company, which I would like my graduation solo to have. In Let Me Stay, the songwriter applies the unique style he uses in his other songs—the chorus conveys some high spirit, giving a sense of chasing after the light, chasing after the rainbow, with the important person by one’s side. Sleep Alone is the theme song of the movie A Journey Through Time with Anthony. One of my favorite lines from the movie, which also appears in the MV of Sleep Alone, is “The loneliest whale in the world, her name is Alice. In this world, there are many Alices among us.” I noticed that the Chinese titles of the two songs can be abbreviated as “让我陪你,” which can be translated as “let me accompany you.” If loneliness is inevitable, then such a promise is more romantic than any whisper of love. For me, in my four years of college, Enchord has brought sunshine, joy, and warmth into my little world. I wish I can also accompany Enchord on our journey through time.
4. 未来へ x 銀の龍の背に乗って
Composer: 玉城千春&中島みゆき Arranger: Estee Chen陈伊唯 Soloist: Lucy Yuan Conductor: Estee陈伊唯 介绍： 《未来へ》也就是我们熟知的《后来》的原版，而《銀の龍の背に乗って》就是《最初的梦想》的原版。 和中文版刘若英的《后来》有很大的不同，日文版Kiroro的《未来へ》，描写的是追梦路上温暖的亲情——小时候，是妈妈拉着我们的手，一点点教会了我们走路，那个时候对妈妈的温柔是依赖；渐渐地，有时候，也会嫌弃她的温柔念叨；然而，等真的有朝一日，离开妈妈之后，才会明白她无微不至的爱。 《未来へ》的歌词，就像是妈妈的嘱托和祝福：“来看看你的脚下，这就是你要走的路；来看看你的前方，那就是你的未来”，整首歌非常温柔动听，让躁动的心可以安静下来。 《銀の龍の背に乗って》同样也是一首温柔的歌曲，却又带着坚定的力量。歌词讲述了一个离岛医生的故事，而这首歌正是对医生们怀着一颗赤子之心，忍受孤独，肩负生命重任的勇气献上敬意。特别在最近这样特殊的时刻，听到这样的歌曲，更让人尤为感动。 歌曲在起初是压抑低沉的，却陡然间，一切变得慷慨激扬，酣畅淋漓。就像是追逐梦想的路上，任何人都有失落的时候，尤其欲望未达，理想未见时，却突然被母亲微笑着安慰：“别难过，悲伤啊伤痕啊统统飞走吧，飞往远方，你需要轻装上阵，快快出发！”希望大家听的时候，也能想起自己少年时候最初的梦想——那种热血沸腾，乘风破浪的感觉！ 我在改编《未来へ》的时候，尽量把和弦写的非常简单，节奏也很规则，而且伴奏时不时有全团都静下来的时候，给予solo充分的空间来慢慢地吟唱这首歌。 Introduction: “To the future“ is also the original version of "Later" that we know well, and "Riding On The Silver Dragon's Back" is the original version of "First Dream". Different from the Chinese version of Rene Liu's "Later”, the Japanese version of Kiroro's “To the Future" describes the warm parental love along the road of dream-chasing. When we were young, it was our mother who held our hand and taught us to walk. At that time, we relied on our mothers’ tenderness; as we grow up, we sometimes complain about her care and tenderness; however, it is when we really leave our mothers that we start to understand her meticulous love. The lyrics of “To the Future” are like a mother's entrustment and blessing: "Look at your feet, this is the road you have to walk; come and look in front of you, that is your future", the whole song is very gentle and sweet, which can quiet down our restless emotions. When I was arranging "To the Future", I tried to simplify chords and rhythms, and leave pauses and blanks in the song, in order to give solo plenty of time to narrate the lyrics.
5. Haus of Gaga
Composer: Lady Gaga Arranger: Yihan Wang Soloist: Yihan Wang Conductor: Estee陈伊唯 介绍： 自从加入安可的那一天起，我就已经决定好了自己的毕业solo要唱Gaga的歌。但是等选起歌来，我却犯了难—作为一个十多年的老粉，她的每一首歌对我来说都有特殊的意义，选出一首歌来实在是太难。起初我思考过《Always Remember Us This Way》来献给我即将毕业的安可，也思考过Gaga出道的首支单曲《Just Dance》。在我犹豫不决之时，灵光一现：为什么不写成串烧呢？ 作为一个仪式感满满的人，我在她的每一张个人录音室专辑和《A Star Is Born》原声带里至少选择了一首歌曲放入串烧中。歌曲顺序更是水到渠成：开头的《Poker Face》是我知道她的第一首歌、第二首《Just Dance》不仅是她的出道单曲，更是我知道她的第二首歌、中间的《Applause》、《Bad Romance》、《Judas》、《Rain On Me》、《The Edge of Glory》、《Shallow》、《Million Reasons》更多的是考虑到转接效果和由快渐慢的整体节奏变化、结尾的《Always Remember Us This Way》献给我亲爱的安可家人们，我爱你们，我会永远记得和大家一起唱歌的样子。 Introduction: Since the first day I joined Penn Enchord, I’ve already decided that my graduation solo will be a Lady Gaga song. But then I realized how hard it was to pick which one to perform—as a huge stan since I was around 8 or 9 years old, every Gaga song has a special place in my heart. It was just so difficult to make the selection: at first, I thought about Always Remember Us This Way to dedicate to Enchord, where I’m graduating from soon. I also considered Just Dance because it was her debut single as Lady Gaga. Just as I was frustrated, a new idea came to me: why don’t I just arrange a Gaga medley? As a person with great sense of ceremony, I put at least one song from each of her solo studio albums and the original soundtrack of A Star Is Born into the medley. The sequence of songs came naturally: I put Poke Face in the beginning as it was the first song I got to know her from. Just Dance was in the second as it was not only her debut single, but also the second Gaga song I knew. The lineup of Applause, Bad Romance, Judas, Rain On Me, The Edge of Glory, Shallow, and Million Reasons was more from the consideration of smooth transition and the gradual change in tempo from fast to slow. I put Always Remember Us This Way at the end and would like to dedicate it to my Enchord family. I love you, and, I will always remember us this way.
6. 算你狠
Composer: David Tao, Wasabi, Zhen-Nan Tsai, Dr.Dre, etc. Arranger: Martin Shen Soloist: Gala Ni Conductor: Estee陈伊唯 介绍： 90年代随着古惑仔系列经典香港电影的风行，陈小春所饰演的山鸡哥深入人心；而华语乐坛R&B教父陶喆更是一代人的青春回忆。这两位跨界的合作成就了《算你狠》这首名噪一时的单曲 —— 开头苍凉的马头琴和闽南语经典《心事谁人知》的融入，生动地勾勒了“纵横四海”的硬汉形象。 作为编曲者，我在原作的基础上更进一步，采用了复古的编曲风格，结合了funk和disco的元素，也sample了一些可以让大家会心一笑的motif。 由PennEnchord为您重新诠释这首OG风格的作品，希望大家能够感受到这首歌的律动。 Introduction: In the 1990s, with the popularity of the classic Hong Kong movies of the Young and Dangerous series, the character "Shanji Ge" played by Chen Xiaochun was deeply rooted in the hearts of the viewers; and Tao Zhe, the godfather of R&B in the Chinese music scene, is a generational memory for the young. Their collaboration has resulted in the well-known song, "Heartless You" - the fusion of the desolate matouqin at the beginning and the Hokkien classic "Who Knows What's on Your Mind" vividly outlines the tough guy who is "all over the world". As the arranger, I went a step further on the basis of the original work, adopted a classic arrangement style, combined funk and disco elements, and also sampled some motifs that can make everyone smile. PennEnchord presents this OG-style work for you, and hopes everyone can feel the rhythm of this song.
7. When I Don’t Wanna Party Anymore
Composer: Billie Eilish Arranger: Joseph Leblanc Soloist: Amelia Peng Conductor: Bianca Sheng 介绍： “I don’t wanna party anymore” 将 Billie Eilish 的两首歌曲mashup在了一起：在“idontwannabeyouanymore”中，Billie Eilish 直面她的不安全感，表达了她缺乏自信和自嘲的情绪; "When the party's over" 谈到了在一段关系中，无论Billie做什么，对方最后总是会离开她。她用谎言来掩饰自己的情绪，说她喜欢独处，但实际上她非常难过。 Introduction: "I don’t wanna party anymore" mashes up two Billie Eilish’s songs: On "idontwannabeyouanymore," Billie Eilish faces her insecurities, addressing her lack of self-confidence and self-deprecating emotions. "When the party's over" talks about a relationship where no matter what Billie does, the other person always leaves her in the end. She hides her emotions by lying, saying that she enjoys being alone when in reality she is incredibly sad.
8. 从前慢
Composer: Huyi Liu Arranger: Bianca Sheng Soloist: Bianca Sheng Conductor: Shenze Zhang 介绍： 《从前慢》是木心创作的一首诗歌. 木心半生在外漂泊，从乌镇到上海，从上海到纽约，再从纽约重回故乡，文学之于木心就是“散步散远了的乡愁”。全诗写的是诗人对过往生活的回忆，描绘了但睁眼看世界的少年，冒着热气的小店，传递爱意的车马、邮件、书信，精美的锁和钥匙等从前的事物，有着丰满生活的质感. 选择这首作品是怀着对故乡的思念，让大家感受这首曲目的复古情怀和“慢节奏”的魅力.在这首歌曲的acapella改编中，加入了自己的想法.soprano ，alto ，tenor 唱着主旋律的和声，并且添加了一些复调的改编.在结尾添加了所有声部包括主场在内的大合唱，将情绪推向尾声. Introduction: “cong qian man" is a poem written by Mu Xin. He spent half of his life wandering around, from Wuzhen to Shanghai, from Shanghai to New York, and then from New York to his hometown. The poem is a reminiscence of the poet's past life, depicting the young boy who saw the world with his eyes open, the hot store, the carriage, mail and letters that conveyed love, the fine locks and keys, and other things of the past, with a rich texture of life. This piece was chosen because of the longing for the hometown and the charm of the retro mood and "slow rhythm" of this song. In the acapella adaptation of the song, the singers add their own ideas. soprano, alto and tenor sing the main harmonies and add some polyphonic adaptations. At the end the chorus is added for all the voices including the main one, pushing the mood towards the end.
9. The Show Must Go On
Composer: Queen Arranger: Henry Yang Soloist: Henry Yang Conductor: Bianca Sheng 介绍： The Show Must Go On是皇后乐队在主唱Freddie Mercury在世时发行的最后一张单曲。这是一首非常有力量又同时很洒脱的歌，用来做一个华丽的谢幕最合适不过了。这首歌是我对安可的告别，同时也寄托着我对安可的期望：如同歌曲名一样一直唱下去。 此外，我在编这首曲子时融入了The Phantom of the Opera, 并且会有一位嘉宾来帮助我一起完成这首歌曲。希望大家喜欢。 Introduction: The Show Must Go On is Queen’s last single before Freddie Mercury’s death. It is a powerful song, and very suitable as an ending. This song is my farewell to Enchord, and I have attached my hope for Enchord to go on and on, just like in the title of the song. Also, I mixed The Phantom of the Opera into this song’s arrangement, and there will be a special guest that will sing this song with me. Hope everyone likes the song.
10. 电台回忆杀
Composer: Tayu Lo Arranger: Kevin Zhu, Xinqing Huang Conductor: Xinqing Huang 介绍： 《电台回忆杀》是五首罗大佑歌曲串烧，从《追梦人》《滚滚红尘》这样的电视剧主题曲到《野百合也有春天》《鹿港小镇》《光阴的故事》这样广为传唱的民谣，都有机地结合在一起。不论是童年时代的收音机，还是搭车开车时收听的广播电台，希望这首歌能够唤起大家的美好记忆！ Introduction: Radio Retro is a mashup of 5 Luo Dayou songs, ranging from famous TV series theme songs, like Zhui Meng Ren & Gun Gun Hong Chen, to well sung ones like Lu Gang Xiao Zhen & Tale of Time.

11. One Day More
Composer: Claude-Michel Schönberg Arranger: Josh Rodriguez Soloists: Estee Chen, Gary Chen, Frank Dong, Rachel Gu, Vivian Huang, Tony Wang, Henry Yang, Troy Zhang Conductor: Estee Chen 介绍： 《One Day More》选自音乐剧《悲惨世界》（Les Miserable），改编自法国作家雨果的同名小说。 故事围绕主人冉·阿让（Jean Valjean）的个人经历，讲述了1832年巴黎共和党起义时期各色人物的种种遭遇，融进了法国的历史、革命、战争、道德哲学、法律、正义及宗教信仰。《One Day More》则是全剧最高潮的部分，描述了在起义决战前夜和面临人生重大抉择的关键时刻，各个人物对即将到来的各自不同的命运的心声。冉阿让即将离去，开启新的生活；马吕斯和珂赛特相拥缠绵，互诉真情；爱潘妮对马吕斯爱而不得，兀自神伤；安灼拉身为革命领袖，则是为了起义而不断呼喊；沙威依旧坚信着自己心中的正义，决心将革命扼杀在萌芽中；旅店老板则是为了即将到来的混乱暗自窃喜，企图从中攫取利益……所有人的心声在这一刻交织，组成了这首宏大的合唱曲目。 Introduction: One Day More is a song from Les Miserables The Musical, which is adapted from Victor Hugo’s novel of the same name. Following the experience of Jean Valjean, it tells a story of the 1832 Republican uprising in Paris, integrating French history, revolution, war, moral philosophy, law, justice and religion. One Day More is the climax of the whole play, describing each characters’ aspirations at the eve of the decisive battle.
