It's a great pity that they've all been transferred without preserving the original widescreen aspect ratio (16x9), making the picture distorted -- vertically "stretched." That leaves all of the performers looking too narrow.

Great to see them on at last, even though subtitles distract me! But now I can bother all my friends with them.  |

When you think of me
sing a heart-spun song
When it's over,
sing it once more.
When you dream of me
dream when I'll meet you
on that distant shore.

Calling all language scholars.....
Anyone out there who could translate the latin that's sung at the very beginning? I tried and could really only put together the first few words and then I got lost trying to piece the words together mainly because of the different verb tenses and thus the word meanings, and well.....I'm also no latin expert or scholar. Here's what I have and if you can fill in the blanks, feel free.
Veni, redemptor gentium
Come, Redeemer of the nations
ostende partum Virginis
Virgin/Mary
meretur omne saeculum
all/every
talis decet partus Deum
God
-Chris

Veni, redemptor gentium,
ostende partum Virginis;
miretur omne saeculum:
talis decet partus Deum. TranslationO COME, Redeemer of the earth, and manifest thy virgin-birth. Let every age in wonder fall: such birth befits the God of all. http://www.preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/Hymni/VeniRedemptorG.html

The other bit of the chant is from Isaiah 9:6 which is used at the beginning of Mass on Christmas Day:
Puer natus est nobis
A child (literally - a boy) is born to us
Filius datus est
A son is given to us

Ooh, thanks for inquiring about the Latin, I didn't even notice that it was there! I watched the concert with closed captions and I got all excited because I study Latin at my high school. If we find Latin in everyday current usage, we get extra credit!  |
