Narration 1
After giving the audience of Shanghai and Nanjing wonderful performances, the world-famous Eton College Chapel Choir comes to Beijing. Upon their arrival, the boys practice earnestly under a tight schedule. During the concerts held in Beijing, the marvelous conducting skills of Mr. Ralph Allwood and the boys’ exceptional singing win a standing ovation from the Beijing audience.
Narration 2
In early spring, trees in Beijing start to sprout their new leaves. This is the very season when both domestic and international tourists start to gather in the capital for sight-seeing. During the short breaks between their performances, tourist guides take the boys to enjoy some of the marvelous views of Beijing.
This unforgettable experience in Beijing includes a visit to Tiananmen Square, which will become a pleasing memory for the choir, a tour of the glorious Forbidden City, which rids them of their weariness from their journey, and other outings which make these boys feel relaxed and happy.
All of the choir members feel excited during their trips to the Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs. And, the magnificent trip to the Great Wall even provokes their interests in becoming a “hero”. Various kinds of traditional Chinese artifacts available in the free markets not only attract the boys’ attention, but also encourage their spending habits.
Narration 3
Using chopsticks, they taste the delicious Chinese food. Why do the boys handle in hands the articles with traditional Chinese flavor chosen for the families and friends so enjoyably, and even reluctant to put them down? Maybe they are just thinking which ones they would keep for themselves.
Narration 4
At the night party with students of China Music Conservatory, everybody laughed and talked happily. Exchanging their understanding in the art of music and discuss singing skills, perhaps both the conductors and students feel regretful for the late meeting. The students from the choir of China Music Conservatory can not help singing “Fengyang Flower-Drum”, a Chinese folk opera popular in the Yangtze River Valley, together with the teacher’s accompany. At this moment, the exciting atmosphere appeals to everyone there. The young artists perform the significant singing with emotion and in beautiful voice. The common feeling, the harmonious cooperation as well as the melodious and integrated Song of Shepherd, a Chinese folk song popular among people of Mongolian minority, closely connect the heart of everybody together.

伊頓公學合唱團(2)

在上海、南京成功演出之後，世界著名的伊頓公學男童合唱團來到了北京。經過緊張、認真的排練，在首都音樂演唱會上，指揮高超的藝術水平、合唱團孩子們精彩的演出贏得了首都觀眾熱烈的掌聲和歡呼。
早春的北京，新芽吐翠、遊客雲集。在短短演出間隙，在導遊的帶領下，孩子們遊興昂然。天安門前留下難忘的記憶，紫禁城的輝煌沖淡了旅途的疲憊，他們的心隨著春色盪漾。
頤和園、十三陵令大家興奮不已，雄渾的萬里長城更激發了他們爭當“好漢”的熱情。市場上，各色的中國民間手工藝品吸引了孩子們爭相購買。
試著使用中國的筷子，大家津津有味地品嘗著東方的美食。給家人和朋友挑選的民族手工藝平品看得他們愛不釋手，也許是琢磨著那一件該留給自己。
在與中國音樂學院師生聯歡的晚宴上，歡聲笑語共敘心聲。指揮、同學交流技藝，相見恨晚。中國音樂學院合唱團的同學們跟隨著老師的節拍，情不自禁的唱起了中國民歌“風陽花鼓”。此時此刻，大家都激動了，年輕的藝術家們聲情並茂、意味深長。共同的心聲、默契的配合伴隨著中國蒙古民歌“牧歌”那悠遠、渾然的旋律，大家的心緊緊的連在了一起??????
