Not even the dike, now, all its length Can retain the shimmer on the tide Nor bid that lonely freight not To set out at this twilight hour. 溫柔的黃昏啊唯美的黃昏 當所有的眼睛都向西凝神 看落日在海葬之前 用滿天壯麗的霞光 像男高音為歌劇收場 對我們這世界說再見 即使防波堤伸得再長 也挽留不了滿海的餘光 更無法叫住姑獨的貨船 莫在這蒼茫的時候出港 林京美繼2013年發表《望海》之後，今年再度以高雄港的景色作為靈感，延伸創作了《蒼茫時刻》；相對於《望海》的張力堆砌，《蒼茫時刻》一曲較著重於描寫孤獨惆悵的情感。 《蒼茫時刻》原詩為余光中教授於1998年所寫，描述高雄港壯麗而淒美的落日，縱有千萬不捨，卻終須一別。樂曲中鋼琴如波浪般的音型，宛若海洋充滿著情感的內心獨白；合唱男聲的高音域，呈現出透明澄澈的水波光影；全曲最後以溫暖的旋律收尾，表述了夕陽無限好，卻稍縱即逝的惆悵傷感。 《蒼茫時刻》由高雄室內合唱團委託創作，於2014年9月20日由朱如鳳老師指揮高雄室內合唱團，於高雄市大東文藝中心演藝廳首演。 (林京美) (2014 © Kaohsiung Chamber Choir.

SINGING When the soul first put on the body's shirt, the ocean lifted up all its gifts. When love first tasted the lips of being human, it started singing.

When love first tasted the lips of being human, it started singing. Texts by Rumi, translated by Coleman Barks © 1995 Coleman Barks. Used by permission. Performed by the Millennium Consort, Martin Neary, conductor, and the Pomona College Choir, Donna Di Grazia, director. Water Ruminations is a setting of six poems by the thirteenth-century poet Rumi, in English translations from the Persian by Coleman Barks, for double choir and organ. The poetry sings of literal and spiritual connections between water and sky, a drop of water and human life, flowing water and love, drinking water and its container, the giddiness of spring and rolling seas, and the ocean's gifts and singing. Its images, from 800 years ago, speak to us with both vivid immediacy and transcendence. The idea for the piece originated with the Mellon Elemental Arts Initiative, which proposed funding activities that would involve students in a...    less

It was and still is a Chamber choir especially interested in the polyphony of the Renaissance, and particularly in the composer it takes its name from, although the choir does also interpret works from every period. Its members’ hard work and joint enthusiasm along all these years, under the direction of Antonio Peces, crystallise in the neat blend of the voices and the sensitivity that its interpretations instill. The group provides experience and a consolidated musicality, while exploring every facet of choral music, as well as the singularity of the great masters’ art. Its musical perspective has been very satisfactorily widened thanks to the work carried out under the direction of Konrad von Abel in the last three years, through several intensive meetings and the joint preparati...    less
