##Symphony No.9 in D-minor##

I and my sister went to hear
"Ludwig van BEETHOVEN's Symphony No.9 in D-minor"
played by JAPAN PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA.

"Symphony No.9" is a music of "JOY".
It was composed by BEETHOVEN deeply captured
with the ideal of "Freedom,Equal,Humanity" the French Revolution carried.

When I hear "Symphony No.9", I feel the end of a year,and at once
I appreciate I could spend the health and happy life for all this year.

Kobayashi Kenichiro,the conductor
is internationally famous.
I was looking forward to seeing his condacting.
The condactor is so important
in a good performance!


"Symphony No.9" played by the orchestra & a choir of 100 & over voices
under the direction of the great conductor was very wonderful^o^.
I was so moved that I got goose bumps!!!

When the performance finished, the hall resounded with the clapping
of the audience for the while.
All the orchestra were pleased with their success*^-^*.

By the way, in my high school,
all the students sing "BEETHOVEN's Symphony No.9" in German
at the entrance and graduation ceremony.
This is one of the traditional events.

Because I was playing the piano every time,I hadn't sing.
But I could feel thier wonderful singing voices than whom!
"Symphoney No.9" brings back my junior high school memories~~!

We had a blissful moment^0^ ""Bravo!!""
