Rorate Coeli Vocal Score 声乐总谱

为无伴奏合唱而作的Rorate Coeli创作于1973年，是应英国全国音乐协会联合会的委托而作。它由格林威治的托马斯-塔利斯合唱团首演。它是苏格兰著名诗人威廉-邓巴（William Dunbar，约创作于 1500 年）两首交错诗歌的背景音乐。一首是标题中的耶稣诞生诗，另一首是关于耶稣复活的诗： "完成的是一场关于黑龙的战斗"。作品以开头的丰富和弦为框架，全场合唱与独唱相呼应。这两首诗同时出现，让人联想到中世纪的多义性手法，展现了复活的未来胜利和耶稣诞生的当下喜悦。结尾处，开头的和弦与欢快的Gloria重合"

RORATE COELI

原文简介:
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.
