Rorate Coeli Vocal Score 聲樂總譜

為無伴奏合唱而作的Rorate Coeli創作於1973年，是應英國全國音樂協會聯合會的委託而作。它由格林威治的湯瑪斯-塔利斯合唱團首演。它是蘇格蘭著名詩人威廉-鄧巴（William Dunbar，約創作於 1500 年）兩首交錯詩歌的背景音樂。一首是標題中的耶穌誕生詩，另一首是關於耶穌復活的詩： "完成的是一場關於黑龍的戰鬥"。作品以開頭的豐富和絃為框架，全場合唱與獨唱相呼應。這兩首詩同時出現，讓人聯想到中世紀的多義性手法，展現了復活的未來勝利和耶穌誕生的當下喜悅。結尾處，開頭的和絃與歡快的Gloria重合"

RORATE COELI

原文簡介:
Rorate Coeli for unaccompanied chorus, was written in 1973 in response to a commission from the National Federation of Music Societies in Great Britain. It was first performed by the Thomas Tallis choir in Greenwich. It is a setting of two interleaved poems of the famous Scottish poet William Dunbar (written circa 1500). One poem is the Nativity poem of the title, the other is the poem about the Resurrection: “Done is a battle on the dragon black.” The work is framed by the rich chords of the opening line where full chorus is echoed by soloists. This setting of both poems simultaneously, reminiscent of medieval polytextural techniques, shows the future victory of the Resurrection along with the present joy of the Nativity. The chords of the opening return at the end combined with an exultant Gloria.
