Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto: Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper, et in saecula saeculorum, Amen. Asperges me repeated…to dealbabor Psalm 51, Verse 7 [Antiphon at the Sprinkling of Holy Water] Thou shalt purge me, O Lord, with hyssop and I shall be clean:Thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world without end. Amen Book of Common Prayer, Psalm 51, Verse The rite of sprinkling the faithful with holy water at the start of the Medieval mass in every Sunday of the Church’s Year except for Palm Sunday and in Eastertide involved the use of verse seven from the famous Miserere text, the 51st Psalm.

上帝的獨生子 Domine Fili Unigenite 整曲充滿歡欣鼓舞的氣氛，活潑有力、節奏輕快。一開始女低音與男低音分別以活潑靈巧及 平穩肯定的感覺唱出主題，接著女高音與男高音再以模仿方式敘述主題。中間部分則以平穩 的節奏，以卡農的方式交替唱出，彷彿是內心對上帝的自我告白。最後由男高音首先再次帶 出歡樂的主題，直到結束，前後段相呼應。而低音部的伴奏則以附點八分音符不斷的奏出， 更將整段讚美聖子的精神表露無遺。 指揮: 翁佳芬 伴奏: 巴洛克獨奏家樂團 時間: 2007/12/11...  more上帝的獨生子 Domine Fili Unigenite 整曲充滿歡欣鼓舞的氣氛，活潑有力、節奏輕快。一開始女低音與男低音分別以活潑靈巧及 平穩肯定的感覺唱出主題，接著女高音與男高音再以模仿方式敘述主題。中間部分則以平穩 的節奏，以卡農的方式交替唱出，彷彿是內心對上帝的自我告白。最後由男高音首先再次帶 出歡樂的主題，直到結束，前後段相呼應。而低音部的伴奏則以附點八分音符不斷的奏出， 更將整段讚美聖子的精神表露無遺。 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  

主，天主的羔羊 Domine Deus, Agnus Dei 這段不朽的樂章與第二段相得益彰。F大調夾著d小調，緩慢卻充滿內聚力。它以深沉的女 低音獨唱以及合唱團的回應，獨唱部分是主要旋律線，合唱部分的回應則是和聲式的複音織 體，有再一次強調的感覺，有力地將人類祈求「上帝羔羊的憐憫」之聲表達得淋漓盡致。 獨唱: 詹喆君(女中音) 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

I felt the inspiration to start this piece in the weeks leading up to the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, in which my dear grandfather Jimmy Rain (1895-1974) had served in the Canadian forces, in one of the most dangerous roles, as a runner in northwestern France. This song honours his memory and the love that he showed me as a boy and a young man growing up. Shortly after starting this piece, I then learned that my dear cousin Jamie Shaw (1959-2019) was gravely ill and with his permission, I have dedicated this piece to him as well. Jamie's courage, good spirit and humour throughout his illness was an inspiration to all of us who knew him. "Da pacem Domine" is a musical search for peace: both external peace, between individuals, groups, societies, nations; and internal peace, to find a restful spot within the soul, amidst the serious tensions and conflicts seemingly inherent in the human stream of existence.

Esecuzione dello Stabat Mater gregoriano a cura dell'Ensemble Vocale "Exsurge Domine". Stabat Mater dolorósa iuxta crucem lacrimósa, dum pendébat Fílius. Cuius ánimam geméntem, contristátam et doléntem pertransívit gládius. O quam tristis et afflícta fuit illa benedícta Mater Unigéniti! Quae moerébat et dolébat, pia Mater dum vidébat nati poenas ínclyti. Quis est homo, qui non fleret, Matrem Christi si vidéret in tanto supplício? Quis non posset contristári, piam Matrem contemplári doléntem cum Filio? Pro peccátis suae gentis vidit Jesum in torméntis et flagéllis subditum. Vidit suum dulcem natum moriéntem desolátum, dum emísit spíritum. Eia, mater, fons amóris, me sentíre vim dolóris fac, ut tecum lúgeam. Fac, ut árdeat cor meum in amándo Christum Deum, ut sibi compláceam. Sancta Mater, istud agas, crucifíxi fige plagas cordi meo válide. Tui...    less
