Black Bird
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise,oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, oh
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

剑桥，留给我的印象，是亭亭玉立的大家闺秀：大方、庄重、雅致。
而它的国王学院，则象一位绅士。
无论是院内的建筑，还是门口的喷泉池和草坪，都与我印象中学院派完全吻合。
１９６６年，就在这里，６位声乐专业的学生自发组织了一个小型的无伴奏合唱团，
从此便诞生了令世人惊奇的＂国王合唱团＂（The King's Singers)。
前几天看报道，７月１３日，国王的歌手们来到中国，为参演国家大剧院奥运演出。
很想能有机会亲耳聆听这样的音乐，纯粹的，只关于声音的一场盛宴。
我知道，国王合唱团演唱披头士(Beatles)的歌有一大特色，
他们在和声之外会大量使用口技，利用口腔共鸣制造的各种各样稀奇古怪的声音，交错融合。
如果有朝一日可以有这样的机缘，一定不要错过。
国王合唱团一直固定只有六个人：
２个假声男高音，２个真声男高音，１个男中音，１个男低音。
虽然成员不断更新，却始终保持如一的活力与和谐。
尽管只有六张嘴，却会达到40个人的混声合唱团加40个人的管弦乐团以及各式各样乐器的打击乐团的效果。
唱宗教圣歌时，他们堪称最顶级的唱诗班；
唱民谣时，他们的语调诙谐，甚至带有方言；
唱流行音乐时，他们充当乐手，可以逼真地模仿出打击吹管配和弦效果；
唱古典音乐时，六张嘴能够发出整个管弦乐团的幻觉。
我一直无法抗拒这样的音乐会：
没有绚丽的声光效果，没有华美的服装布景，更没有夸张的肢体动作。
六个人围成弧形站在舞台中央，唱出了独特而深刻的理解。
合唱讲究站位，他们的声音有强烈的定位感、空间感，
他们的音域宽广，不同声部层次分明，使人不敢相信自己的耳朵。
Let's enjoy the music!
