香港和聲十五周年壓軸鉅獻，為您帶來一場法式音樂盛宴，以不同時代的合唱經典慶祝聖誕。夏邦泰是十七世紀巴洛克時期最優秀的法國作曲家之一，他的《子夜彌撒曲》完全建基於民間的聖誕頌歌，開創音樂史先河。聖桑以多首大型管弦樂曲聞名，不過創作合唱樂曲亦同樣耍家，23歲就任巴黎瑪德蓮教堂首席管風琴師，短短兩個星期便寫成名作《聖誕節神劇》。二十世紀巴黎作曲家浦朗克，富韻味的旋律和清澈通透的和聲為人津津樂道，其《四首聖誕經文歌》把他的風格展露無遺。十二月五日，預祝聖誕，齊來親身體驗一趟法國聖誕音樂之旅！ For our 15th anniversary finale, we bring you a selection of French Christmas classics from the Baroque period to the 20th century.

2015･06･20－當代合唱音樂沙龍 II Contemporary Choral Music II

2015･01･10－帕勒斯替那／巴赫／莫札特 | Palestrina / Bach / Mozart
十五周年頭炮節目，香港和聲帶你遨遊古典聖樂的時空： 意大利文藝復興巨匠帕勒斯替那，其《短彌撒曲》於1570年出版後便廣被傳頌，數世紀以後的作曲家如李斯特仍對它多番分析研究。 「音樂之父」巴赫，以主顯節清唱劇《示巴的眾人都必來到》作為1724年他在萊比錫首個聖誕期的終結，音樂饒有深意又洋溢喜悅感恩。 莫札特於1780年創作的《證聖者莊嚴晚禱》歷久彌新。音樂學家亞佛列．愛因斯坦認為，沒有認識這些樂章就是沒有認識莫札特。 First in our series of 15th anniversary concerts, we presents to you three outstanding sacred music from Renaissance to the Classical era: Palestrina’s Missa Brevis remained popular since its publication in 1570 – it was still studied and analysed by Liszt even centuries later.
