免除世罪者 Qui tollis peccata mundi 韋瓦第使用了無比優美的和聲、極緩慢的速度、不斷變化的音程，刻畫出人類祈望耶穌垂聽 禱告的心願。全曲更以半音階的和聲進行，前半段4/4拍以沈穩的方式唱出「天主免除世 人罪過」，之後轉換成3/2拍，速度較急切的說出「請接受、請接受我的祈禱」，以迫切 的感覺深刻描繪出耶穌基督將世人罪過除去的恩典。 指揮: 翁佳芬 伴奏: 巴洛克獨奏家樂團 時間: 2007/12/11 地點: 高雄市文化中心至德堂

James Erb 美國民謠 本曲為膾炙人口的美國民謠，曲名「雪納朵」是一條河及其河谷的名稱（Shenandoah River, Shenandoah Valley），位於維吉尼亞州密蘇里河畔，亦是曲中主人翁的故鄉。在南北戰爭中，雪納朵之役為南北軍相爭維吉尼亞的重要戰爭，結果南軍大敗。編曲者艾爾布（James Erb, 1926-）運用和聲與對位曲風交織的手法，將它改編為無伴奏混聲四部合唱曲。旋律優美而綿密，全曲充滿了濃郁的鄉愁與永無止境的思念。 Oh, Shenando, I long to see you, And hear your rolling river, Oh, Shenando, I long to see you, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. I long to see your smiling valley, And hear your rolling river, I long to see your smiling valley, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. Tis sevn long years since last I see you, And hear your rolling river, Tis sevn long years since last I see you, Way, were bound away, Across the wide Missouri. 喔，雪納朵，我渴望見到妳 並傾聽妳流水滾滾 喔，雪納朵，我渴望見到妳 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河 我渴想再見妳微笑的河谷 並傾聽妳流水滾滾 我渴想再見妳微笑的河谷 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河 自相別後已漫漫七年 不得復聞妳流水滾滾 自相別後已漫漫七年 但我們遠隔 寬廣的密蘇里河  less
