Description:
St. Thomas Church Choir: Celebrating Its 800th Anniversary! A Year in the Life of the Boys Who Carry On This Historic Choir A documentary that reveals the true faces of these young elite singers [With Japanese subtitles!] ★To commemorate the 800th anniversary of the St. Thomas Church Choir—the world’s oldest boys’ choir—the highly anticipated documentary DVD/Blu-ray has been released on the “ACCENTUSMUSIC” label! On stage, these boys display a poise that rivals that of adults as young “artists.” Where do their beautiful voices come from, and how are they refined?—This documentary closely follows the boys of the St. Thomas Church Choir—a side of them rarely seen—through a year of their lives, revealing the true nature of this historic choir and the essence of its charm. The documentary begins with the auditions for new members. Once the boys have cleared the high bar set by this venerable and prestigious institution, what awaits them is communal life in a boarding house, far from their families. A strict hierarchical system is in place, with upperclassmen mentoring and supervising underclassmen, and the boys spend their days until graduation grappling with the various hardships inherent in communal living. The greatest appeal of this documentary is that it features ample footage of this communal life! As they attend school, study diligently, laugh with friends, and immerse themselves in sports, we catch glimpses of their endearing, age-appropriate sides. That said, it’s no exaggeration to say that most of their “daily life” is devoted to music. With daily individual lessons and choir practice, plus a hectic schedule of rehearsals for performances, their lives are truly immersed in music! It is a unique strength of this documentary that, through interviews with the boys, we can truly sense the anxieties and inner conflicts each of them faces—and, above all, the joy and pride they feel as members of the historic St. Thomas Church Choir. The film also features numerous interviews with choir members, including Kantor (choir director) Biller, allowing viewers to hear the special sentiments of a choir that carries on the tradition of J.S. Bach. The bonus track features excerpts from a performance of J.S. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion held at St. Thomas Church! You can enjoy the beautiful singing of the choir, which carries on Bach’s musical legacy, in the very church where he premiered his work. Includes Japanese subtitles. King International
