The 30th Anniversary of John Lennon’s Death
(AP) John Lennon’s fans celebrated his life Wednesday by visiting Strawberry Fields, the Central Park garden dedicated in his honor, while a newly released interview he gave shortly before his death showed he was optimistic about his future.
On the 30th anniversary of Lennon’s murder outside his Manhattan apartment building, admirers played his music nearby at Strawberry Fields and placed flowers on a mosaic named for his song “Imagine.”
In the newly released interview by Rolling Stone, conducted just three days before he was gunned down, John Lennon complained about his critics – saying they were just interested in “dead heroes” and mused that he had “plenty of time” to accomplish some of his life goals.
The magazine also included an essay by Ono recalling her final days with her husband.
Ono released a statement Tuesday night in tribute to Lennon.
“On this tragic anniversary please join me in remembering John with deep love and respect,” Ono said. “In his short lived life of 40 years, he has given so much to the world. The world was lucky to have known him. We still learn so much from him today. John, I love you!”
Below is a look at some of the photographs from the life of John Lennon.
내가 비틀즈를 처음 접한 것은 1964-5년으로 기억된다. 초등학교 1학년부터 성가대를 하고 2학년에는 서울중.고등학교 주최 아동콩클대회에서 수상도 하여 재능이 있다고 보았는지 어머니는 4학년에 나를 당시 을지로 2가 중앙극장에서 청계천 방향에 있었던 승동유치원에 데리고 갔다. 가서 보니 '서울소년합창단'을 곽상수 선생님이 미국에서 지휘 공부를 하고 귀국하여 성인으로 된 '성종합창단'과 함께 창단하면서 단원을 뽑는 오디션 장이었다. 당시에 우리나라에서는 처음으로 두성으로 발성을 하는 '서울소년합창단'이 1960년에 발족되었다.
한국의 비엔나 소년합창단으로 클라식 곡을 위주로 연주를 하였고 코리위붕겐을 계명으로 부르는 공부도 하며 발성법 등 제법 전문적인 음악교육을 받았다. 변성되는 중1 정도까지 다녔는데 그 즈음에 윤석중 선생님의 새싹합창단과 합치면서 혼성어린이 합창단으로 변하였다. 당시에는 KBS 방송국의 어린이 합창단은 이미 있었는데 아마 한국 합창계가 본격적으로 싹트는 계기가 아니었나 생각된다. 1년 뒤에는 장수철 선생님이 '선명회 합창단'을 고아들로 구성하여 아름다운 합창을 하게 되었다.
우리 멤버 중에 음악을 전공한 친구들이 있는데 이영두 현재 미국 연세, 숭실고 OB합창단 지휘자, 유봉헌은 서울 음대 성악과를 갔는데 그 뒤로 영락교회 성가대 지휘자로도 활약을 했었고, 방송계에서 유명한 임성훈 MC는 당시 귀엽고 작은 아이로 당시 이름은 종상이었던 걸로 기억나며, 서울 중 고등 동창인 오인영, 목원대 음대 교수로 있었던 친구 등이 있었다. 어려서부터 이렇게 노래를 하는 환경에서 자랐고, 게다가 누나 중 세째인 김이자는 서울 음대 성악과에 다녔고 나중에 동아콩클 제2회 성악부 일등을 하는 등 음악에 관련된 집안 내력도 있는 것 같다. 따라서 중학교에 다니면서 자연히 최동욱씨의 '3시의 다이얼' 그리고 미군 방송 등 음악을 거의 밤낮으로 들으면서 지냈다.
비틀즈의 Eight days a Week, 데뷰곡인 I wanna hold your hand 등으로 내가 접하였던 종교음악, 바로크 음악과는 전혀 다른 그룹사운드의 매력에 빠지게 되면서 비틀즈의 팬이기도 하였기에 그들의 모든 노래는 거의 다 애창을 하고 젊었을 때의 낭만을 즐기는데 일조를 하며 나의 인성의 한 구석에 자리 잡았다.
죤 레논의 피살 소식은 매우 쇼킹하여 그의 천재성을 알던 이들에겐 무척이나 안타까운 사건이었다.그의 죽음 30년을 작년에 맞이하며 사진을 보고 그들의 Hit 곡을 넣어 다시금 기억을 더듬어 보는 기회가 되었다.
