"Remembrance of Things Past"
A theatrical journey of English madrigals

《說時依舊》—英倫牧歌的光影之旅

 

Featuring English madrigals during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and Queen Victoria, "Remembrance of Things Past" highlights some of the best works from "The Triumphs of Oriana" (1601) and "Choral Songs in honour of Her Majesty Queen Victoria" (1899). As lyrical tunes spanning the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries by celebrated composers Thomas Morley, Robert Lucas Pearsall, Edward Elgar and many others unfold old British tales, a cappella voices with poems retold will take you to revisit old times of England.

​

Continuing the success of "Viva Oriana", a theatrical concert in April, SingFest is going to present the next episode, "Remembrance of Things Past", with an elevated setting and impressive showcase for young choral talent.

​

SingFest is proactive in promoting choral music through the highest quality of performances. We believe innovation is the key to keeping classical choral arts alive. As we strive to present finest productions, not only are we pursuing artistic standards in musical aspects but a broader theatrical context. Our emphasis on theatrical elements has been manifested in our recent productions, receiving wide acclaim.

繼四月的英倫牧歌劇場音樂會《詩憶奧莉安娜》後，聲蜚合唱節將呈獻續集《說時依舊》。節目將演唱精選自英文牧歌集《奧莉安娜的勝利》(1601)及《向維多利亞女皇致敬合唱作品選》(1899)的多首作品。這兩部歌集集合了多位於當時極具影響力的英國作曲家之創作，分別向英女皇伊莉沙伯一世及維多利亞表示敬意。

​

聲蜚合唱節致力以極高質素的演出，推廣本地古典合唱音樂。除了持續提升音樂質素，我們更希望在視覺層面豐富合唱藝術，因此近年積極於製作中加入劇場元素，冀為本地觀眾帶來耳目一新的體驗。
