Hall, CONTINUUM brings together twelve of the finest professional consort singers in London, carefully chosen to produce a unique and vibrant sound that celebrates the very best qualities of the English choral tradition and the powerful beauty of the uninhibited human voice. This all-male ensemble has made 16th century Spanish sacred polyphony and chant the core of its repertoire, and seeks to perform this wonderful music at the original, sonorous low pitch as it would have been heard in Spanish cathedrals and religious institutions during Spain’s “Golden Age”.  less

The group was formed with some of Brisbane’s best and most experienced ensemble singers, most of whom sing regularly with other choirs in and around the city and have extensive performing and touring experience both around Australia and internationally. The singers range across an assortment of careers, from educators to environmental engineers, and from students to musicians. They are drawn together because of their passion for singing and produce an energy in performance that immediately connects with their audience. In programming, Fusion specialises in early and new music – from Jean Mouton and Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla to Cyrillus Kreek, Arvo Pärt, and Henryk Mikolaj Górecki. The ensemble prides itself on delivering an artistic product that combines choral maturity with youthful vibrancy to bring a fresh sound to music that is not often performed in the region.  less

此曲原由阿根廷的流行音樂作曲家法飛洛（A. Favero），根據烏拉圭著名詩人班奈戴提（M. Benedetti）所寫的情詩而作，由康吉安諾（L. Cangiano）改編寫成無伴奏混聲合唱曲，以厚實多變的和聲表現歌詞中深情呼喚至愛的誠摯情感。 我愛你，你是我的至愛，我的密友，我的一切。 當我們手挽著手走過每一條路， 我們就像同一個人一樣的心靈契合； 當你的眼睛凝望著我，整天的鬱悶都將一掃而空。 我愛你，你的身影是我向未來前進的力量。 你的手撫慰了我的心，我每天的思緒， 讓世界上的一切都能...  more此曲原由阿根廷的流行音樂作曲家法飛洛（A.

Conducted by the Luxembourg native Pierre Cao, the choir is now considered to be among the best in Europe. Using a flexible formation, ranging up to 32 singers, Arsys explores all choral repertoire, both a cappella and accompanied, from early music – Renaissance, Baroque, Classical – through Romantic and 20th century music to that of the present day. As an enthusiastic advocate of modern repertoire, Arsys regularly commissions new works by living composers.
