五年前，有幸得到丁羔老師的一堂聲樂課，他的教學理念，他的為人，給我的鼓勵和指導讓我深受感動！後來他還為我選擇了這首歌 The music of the night 作為練聲曲。完全沒有想到他會選擇這首歌，神一樣的作品，兩個八度的音域，做夢都不敢想自己會去練這首歌更不要說唱下來了！但是他說目的並不在於要唱下來，而是練聲。這話我信！優美的旋律，感人的歌詞和故事讓枯燥乏味的練聲過程變得有了生氣和情感。四年多來，過一陣子會練一下這首歌，調節情緒，檢查練聲成果。最近發現居然可以大體不差地唱下來了。正應了那句話，夢想還是要有的，萬一實現了呢？
Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation Darkness stirs and wakes imagination Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendor Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender Turn your face away from the garish light of day Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light And listen to the music of the night
Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar! And you'll live as you've never lived before
Softly, deftly, music shall surround you Feel it, hear it closing in around you Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind In this darkness which you know you cannot fight The darkness of the music of the night
Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before Let your soul take you where you long to be Only then can you belong to me
Floating, falling, sweet intoxication Touch me, trust me, savor each sensation Let the dream begin, let your darker side give in To the power of the music that I write The power of the music of the night
You alone can make my song take flight Help me make the music of the night
