Hymnus Paradisi

这是赫伯特-豪厄尔斯（Herbert Howells）1950 年的作品《天堂赞歌》（Hymnus Paradisi）的全谱，为女高音和男高音独唱、SATB 合唱团和管弦乐队而作。 该乐谱根据已知资料编制，经过修订和编辑，并附有评论，包括保罗-斯派塞 (Paul Spicer) 的序言和戴维-威尔考克斯爵士 (Sir David Willcocks) 的介绍性说明，现为首次印刷。 其中四个合唱乐章（第二至第五乐章）是拉丁文和英文文本的配乐。这些乐章选自《诗篇》和《普通祈祷书》中的 "Miss pro defunctis"，是对人类短暂的悲痛和不灭的希望的永恒反思。所有这些都与安魂曲的情绪和目的相吻合。第六乐章取材于《索尔兹伯里日晷》（Salisbury Diurnal）中的诗句，这里使用的是罗伯特-布里奇斯（Robert Bridges）的《人类精神选集》（Anthology The Spirit of Man）末尾的 G. H. 帕尔默博士的译文。 首演于 1950 年 9 月 7 日在格洛斯特举行的三合唱节上，由作曲家指挥。巴赫合唱团于 1951 年初在伦敦首次演出，并于 1970 年与戴维-威尔考克斯爵士指挥的爱乐乐团录制了这部作品"

原文简介:
This is the full score of Herbert Howells' 1950 composition, Hymnus Paradisi for Soprano and Tenor Soli, SATB chorus and orchestra. Now available for the first time in print, this score has been prepared from the known sources, revised and edited with critical commentary, and includes a preface by Paul Spicer and introductory notes by Sir David Willcocks. Four of the choral movements (II-V) are settings of Latin and English texts. These are drawn from the Psalms and the 'Miss pro defunctis', the book of Common Prayer, and are immemorial reflections upon the transient griefs and indestructible hopes of mankind. All are appropriate to the mood and purpose of a Requiem. Movement VI is a setting of lines from the Salisbury Diurnal, used here in the translation by Dr G. H. Palmer appearing at the end of Robert Bridges' Anthology The Spirit of Man. The first performance was at the Three Choirs Festival at Gloucester on 7th September 1950, which the composer conducted. The Bach Choir gave the first London performance early in 1951, and recorded the work in 1970 with the Philharmonia Orchestra under Sir David Willcocks.
