Music has many genres and has many forms too. Music is a universal language that can express a lot of human feelings. Happiness, sadness, thanksgiving, hope, love, and even for worship. We can talk by music, we can share our feeling by music too.

When I joined in my university's choir 2 years ago, I began to learn and love classical songs. My university choir was based on classical songs ( but now it's not longer anymore and I was sad when I heard it). Classical songs such as sacra music is kind of high quality and very difficult songs to sing. I remember when I still a new member in my university's choir, although I take sopran part, I got difficulty to reach the high notes. A song we sang, O Magnum Mysterium (by Thomas Luis de Victoria), was very difficult song with high range voices and needs long breathe to sing it, especially in the song's ending.

Now I'm not longer being an active member in my university's choir because of my activity in my campus, but I still love to sing and listen a lot of classical songs. But besides classical song, I like pop and jazz songs too..

This is a video of my favorite song, For the Beauty of The Earth by John Rutter. I love this song so much, and it's one of my favorite song ^ ^
