Narration 1
After giving the audience of Shanghai and Nanjing wonderful performances, the world-famous Eton College Chapel Choir comes to Beijing. Upon their arrival, the boys practice earnestly under a tight schedule. During the concerts held in Beijing, the marvelous conducting skills of Mr. Ralph Allwood and the boys’ exceptional singing win a standing ovation from the Beijing audience.
Narration 2
In early spring, trees in Beijing start to sprout their new leaves. This is the very season when both domestic and international tourists start to gather in the capital for sight-seeing. During the short breaks between their performances, tourist guides take the boys to enjoy some of the marvelous views of Beijing.
This unforgettable experience in Beijing includes a visit to Tiananmen Square, which will become a pleasing memory for the choir, a tour of the glorious Forbidden City, which rids them of their weariness from their journey, and other outings which make these boys feel relaxed and happy.
All of the choir members feel excited during their trips to the Summer Palace and the Ming Tombs. And, the magnificent trip to the Great Wall even provokes their interests in becoming a “hero”. Various kinds of traditional Chinese artifacts available in the free markets not only attract the boys’ attention, but also encourage their spending habits.
Narration 3
Using chopsticks, they taste the delicious Chinese food. Why do the boys handle in hands the articles with traditional Chinese flavor chosen for the families and friends so enjoyably, and even reluctant to put them down? Maybe they are just thinking which ones they would keep for themselves.
Narration 4
At the night party with students of China Music Conservatory, everybody laughed and talked happily. Exchanging their understanding in the art of music and discuss singing skills, perhaps both the conductors and students feel regretful for the late meeting. The students from the choir of China Music Conservatory can not help singing “Fengyang Flower-Drum”, a Chinese folk opera popular in the Yangtze River Valley, together with the teacher’s accompany. At this moment, the exciting atmosphere appeals to everyone there. The young artists perform the significant singing with emotion and in beautiful voice. The common feeling, the harmonious cooperation as well as the melodious and integrated Song of Shepherd, a Chinese folk song popular among people of Mongolian minority, closely connect the heart of everybody together.

在上海、南京成功演出之后，世界著名的伊顿公学男童合唱团来到了北京。经过紧张、认真的排练，在首都音乐演唱会上，指挥高超的艺术水平、合唱团孩子们精彩的演出赢得了首都观众热烈的掌声和欢呼。
早春的北京，新芽吐翠、游客云集。在短短演出间隙，在导游的带领下，孩子们游兴昂然。天安门前留下难忘的记忆，紫禁城的辉煌冲淡了旅途的疲惫，他们的心随着春色荡漾。
颐和园、十三陵令大家兴奋不已，雄浑的万里长城更激发了他们争当“好汉”的热情。市场上，各色的中国民间手工艺品吸引了孩子们争相购买。
试着使用中国的筷子，大家津津有味地品尝着东方的美食。给家人和朋友挑选的民族手工艺平品看得他们爱不释手，也许是琢磨着那一件该留给自己。
在与中国音乐学院师生联欢的晚宴上，欢声笑语共叙心声。指挥、同学交流技艺，相见恨晚。中国音乐学院合唱团的同学们跟随着老师的节拍，情不自禁的唱起了中国民歌“风阳花鼓”。此时此刻，大家都激动了，年轻的艺术家们声情并茂、意味深长。共同的心声、默契的配合伴随着中国蒙古民歌“牧歌”那悠远、浑然的旋律，大家的心紧紧的连在了一起??????
