Khreschatyk Academic Chamber Choir - «Choir Smiles» - Live 4 April 2017 - fragment.

2012十週年音樂會 高雄市文化中心至德堂 2012-11-16 指揮: 朱如鳳 伴奏: 許溎芳 詞：余光中 曲：任真慧 此曲受高雄室內合唱團委託，以余光中的詩作入樂，遂選擇意象明晰、聲韻流暢的〈風鈴〉一詩，譜寫成這首作品。我將詩意詮釋為一種晝夜不捨的思念，這樣的思念可以在不同的年齡層、不同的時空下解讀，但思念跟渴望的本質如同貫串全詩及全曲的風鈴意象，來自心底最深的角落，恆常不變、緜延不絕。 ｢此般地傾聽你的心，在最甜美的歌聲中，如同海潮貼近彼端沉睡的鄉愁。」───引用自...  more2012十週年音樂會 高雄市文化中心至德堂 2012-11-16 指揮: 朱如鳳 伴奏: 許溎芳 詞：余光中 曲：任真慧 此曲受高雄室內合唱團委託，以余光中的詩作入樂，遂選擇意象明晰、聲韻流暢的〈風鈴〉一詩，譜寫成這首作品。我將詩意詮釋為一種晝夜不捨的思念，這樣的思念可以在不同的年齡層、不同的時空下解讀，但思念跟渴望的本質如同貫串全詩及全曲的風鈴意象，來自心底最深的角落，恆常不變、緜延不絕。 ｢此般地傾聽你的心，在最甜美的歌聲中，如同海潮貼近彼端沉睡的鄉愁。」───引用自作曲者2007年的日記，謹將此曲獻給每個人心中的回憶。 （任真慧 自述） 【歌詞】 我的心是七層塔檐上懸掛的風鈴 叮嚀叮嚀嚀 此起彼落　敲叩著一個人的名字 ───你的塔上也感到微震嗎？ 這是寂靜的脈搏 日夜不停 你聽見了嗎　叮嚀叮嚀嚀？ 這惱人的音調禁不勝禁 除非叫所有的風都改道 鈴都摘掉　塔都推倒 只因我的心是高高低低的風鈴 叮嚀叮嚀嚀 此起彼落 敲叩著一個人的名字

The first performance was at her memorial service. This performance, however was part of the memorial service in St Martin in the Fields, for Ruth Rudge, who was a very distinguished and lovely lady, and also my first boss. The ladies of the Occasional Choir, whose beginnings were as the Madrigal Choir at West Heath, which I co-founded, all those years ago, are the singers, including one of the six that took part in the very first performance. I am conducting, and Penny Walker, who now directs the choir is accompanying. Unfortunately less than half the singers are visible in the video.  less

The score is at once rhythmic and exciting, haunting and unsettling. It was a winner of the 2018 Uncommon Music Festival Composition Competition. It is accessible for all fine High School, collegiate and community choral ensembles. Performers are encouraged to present this work in a more dramatic fashion than usual, “within (or surrounding) the audience.” 2018 Winner of the Uncommon Music Festival Composition Award & premiere in Sitka, Alaska, summer 2018.  less

The success of this project led to a charity performance of Messiah co-directed by Patrick and Peter Holman at the Swinburne Hall, Colchester Institute, which was part broadcast by Classic FM. Since then the choir has presented three or four concerts each season in Colchester (usually at St. Botolph's Church), often featuring baroque music. Many of the original members still sing with the Choir, which is intended for experienced choristers (members sing with other choirs and some have solo careers) who can sight read well and respond to direction, thus enabling concerts to be performed with only two or three rehearsals. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Colchester-Bach-Choir/330623297057?ref=hl  less

Since its founding, the choir has had about 80 active members who enjoy the lively nature of Gospel music and who are inspired by the message of Gospels and Spirituals. The choir sings this style of music in all its forms, ranging from simple three or four part all male/female vocal arrangements, to four part mixed arrangements. As well, they also perform more complex eight or ten part scores featuring solo parts which are sung by soloists from the choir. Due to active co-operation with various youth organisations, this choir consists of many different generations who all get on well with one and other. The choir is accompanied by the 'Rejoice Band' which is comprised of piano, drums, an electric bass, and additional instruments when required. Concerts in Langenberg and further afield, successful appearances at the Krefeld Gospel Festival and others in t...    less
