Each group brings its own musical tradition with it as well as curiosity about the others missing your strums yella have a broad musical education just 6 learn by ear without sheet music they rely on their musicality and intuition will c. L. s classical repertoire fit with the african beats of just 6 thats all beautiful because then its just like how comes on top of what youre doing you know with the rhythm what to do with. It and he joined us make this very make. Those who dont proofread. What. Is it. With. The workshop is being led by marcus dept of vic from germany an expert on South African vocal music hes here to help bring the groups together we know as a consumer student because for some you know in principle they could also do it alone i think my role is just to organize things a bit. There are 3 or 4 really strong players who are contributing ideas and theyre brimming with the school to start ive just given them free reign and lots of space. You know. The name c. L. Is derived from the swedish word for soul this is the ensembles 1st trip to south africa. And i do think. The women from leipsic visit Constitution Hill one of the countrys most important historical sites once a fort it was later used as a prison. Today its the. Each of south africas constitutional court. The day after they 1st meet the groups give their 1st concert at a music school in soweto. Each Group Introduces itself by singing a piece from its own repertoire its. d great to see. That. Right afterwards they performed their 1st joint arrangement him from the middle ages jazzed up with african beats. C c c c her. Can you believe that we just did that. The 1st time. I. See and i have truly arrived. Theyre finding the african audiences enthusiasm infectious unsellable singing has a long tradition here and is part of everyday life. The next day of rehearsals belongs to separate so to see hes been commissioned by george of ella to compose a work that will be rehearsed here for the very 1st time. Its untitled the birth of change. There. The vocalists will later be supported by a full Symphony Orchestra oh well. Were. Here theyre getting acquainted with the new work which was created on a computer and has never been performed before. You can see. 2 feet. At some point things just click into place the jazz musician and composer tiptoe and the vocalists bring the piece to life was there and. I. Was. I was really was with it still i suppose for me to just think since there will be so much attention. It just means to me was. Going to have. That right to ask the and my 1st impression was that it reminded me of many things film music pop music but it also had very rhythmic elements which were a little jazzy to them. Jazz is and i think its amazing the rhythms that will go on there you know the 2 different sections that with the i think were going to have a good time says and a sense does this is really interesting that these 2 or 3 voices are going to fuse together with the orchestra. Thats something new for us to sing with a full orchestra ones to gunson orchestre zing piece took those pieces are usually very exciting and with music so im enjoying the glover does this music and the opportunity to sing together have really bonded us. So immense that it doesnt feel like weve only known one another for 3 a day i sighed haggis and the stillness received it. In. Instinctively the immediate which which is what i hoped it would do certain were going to have a good time i think its going to look really organically nothing true intellectual about it the middle of these easy and the seeing putatively so i think you can embody this piece produced. That afternoon c. L. O. Pay a visit to the parted museum is south africas most Popular Museum and helps visitors understand the effect of the countrys past racial segregation. This car was presented to Nelson Mandela as a gift after his release from prison. The activist who went on to become south africas 1st black president is still ever present here as is his fight against the Apartheid Regime with all of its horrors. One of the most impressive exhibits is the replica of the tiny jail cell where mandela was held in isolation for years. Music was also part of the resistance against departed singing together gave protesters a voice and have a disc for to see lloyd to. Put it to show i get the feeling that people here express their political opinions through music. And have it as it is 5 and that people here process a lot of their fear. And negative emotions light and mass suffering and pain through music zick. Its simply giving voice to what theyre feeling at that moment about whats them and yes making something positive out of their pain. This weekend i think thats really one of africas strengths for africa interesting i had already suspected that singing has a completely different meaning here than it does for us in germany and that it brought people together during the apartheid era and gave them strength and was maybe even used to make political statements political statements akiva this being had music everything and by man. Right now im very angry hesitant because ive just seen or been shown how so many personal fates were affected by a party not my idea that really apartheid could take time and is in the studio but im also thinking about germany. And how there are still racists all over the world and a justice who gives in. So it. Means freedom to the women from leipsic are getting a lesson in soon one of south africas official languages. There was. That the. C. L. O. In just 6 make good use of the break before their next for herself. She should. Stand by. And see a. Shrine to take care of. It it was chanting it was good to get here. And that in the end it was. Wrong. Because. It was. The. Cause. I. Know its winter in south africa it feels like summer. Half.

Germanys National Youth orchestra is taking advantage of its summer tour through south africa to rehearse birth of change with simple to see for the 1st time.

Birth of changes to have its World Premiere at the Beethoven Fest in september in the german city of bonn. The vocalists are struggling to make themselves heard over the powerful sound of the orchestra. After they were still there invited to a broadway the South African name for barbecue. Its a color. Marry tradition that brings people and cultures together. If. Various. C. L. A and just 6 have a lot to talk about music their everyday lives and snippets or to tease composition. Not happen in the sort of all is described by music as new school stiff new school new striving for something different. Look with the same instruments with the same kinds of musicians but its just the perspective that that has changed i mean im a very young guy im 28 years old now and believe that if anything since i have the kids of composing i should be reflecting on the times of today and its our duty as composers i try to to really put say a covenant and feel of what we experience as young people. Almost a week of intensive or her skills is capped off with a concert at the university of pretoria. In this arrangement a traditional norwegian wedding march gets an african twist. Youre. The.

Howd you like to live near him and its so peaceful its nice i like it so much. That. I guess the 1st thing they do after getting up to sing. Ive never seen them warm up or prepare they just ready to go and we find that really inspiring it gives us the confidence to really go for it its. Like a state of man also that i like to think of it as. A rule that says among the forms because we. Have no registers but hearing the sweet voice and top. Teeth their voice is a so deep and velvety but they can sing high tune. Theyre very colorful and happen incredible versatility bands and it gets back to theyre able to sing classical material but also jazz and soul jessica she saw. How that comes together really nice and the very flexible. To some jazz and all those things so it really mixes very well with what were doing its been quite a fun process.

Wasnt finn does it does not i think they complement each other extremely well i know sides theres this powerful african rhythms and these powerful African Voices system and when we have this Crystal Clear highly precise sound of c. L. O. Horn taking this mix is really fascinating when because it brings together different worlds united in sound and even perceive an event and for playing with defiance and.
