The quotation most aptly describes the repertoire on the Norwegian Chamber choir Schola Cantorum's recording of hymns to Mary, the Mother of God, in which tranquillity, eternity and 'bursting forth into sound' are encountered in many different guises. The composers represented here have often chosen to allow their music to evolve in stable structures and remain within static harmonic spaces even when the music becomes expressive and dramatic: Benjamin Britten, Francis Poulenc, Maurice Duruflé, Eric Whitacre, Morten Lauridsen, Martin Ødegaard, Kjell Mørk Karlsen, Anton Bruckner, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Arvo Pärt, Ola Gjeilo, Andrew Smith and Trond Kverno. https://shop.klicktrack.com/2l/420085/ Throughout its existence the Chamber choir Schola Cantorum has had high ambitions. The choir has built up an international reputation and has made it a trademark to include newly wri...    less

R. Vaughan Williams 蘇格蘭民謠 這首離情依依的蘇格蘭民謠，由作曲家佛漢‧威廉士（R.Vaughan Williams, 1872 - 1958）編寫為無伴奏的混聲四部合唱曲。佛漢‧威廉士是英國交響曲、室內樂、歌劇、合唱音樂和電影配樂作曲家，亦是英國民歌的採集者。全曲描寫著即將遠行的情人與少女，在羅莽湖畔道別的情景，音樂以兩個不同動機的樂段組合而成：前段採用平穩和緩的速度，敘述著緻麗的湖光山色；後段以附點節奏的進行曲風，與前段形成明顯的情感對比，呈現必須出發的決心、且無法再與摯愛相見的痛苦。 By yon bonny banks and by yon bonny braes, where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond, where me and my true love were ever wont to gae, on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond. O you'll take the high road and I'll take the low road, and I'll be in Scotland afore ye, but me and my true love will never meet again; on the bonny banks of Loch Lomond. T'was there that we parted in yon shady glen, On the steep side of Loch Lomond, where deep in purple hue the Highland hills we view, and the moon coming out in the gloaming. The wee birdies sing and the wild flowrs spring, And in sunshine the waters are sleeping, But the broken heart it kens nae seco...    less
