**专辑背景与艺术特色**
Convivium唱片自豪呈现查尔斯·维利尔斯·斯坦福（Charles Villiers Stanford）的神圣合唱作品，由温彻斯特公学礼拜堂合唱团录制，并搭配牛津莫顿学院礼拜堂的新多布森管风琴。这张令人愉悦的合集既包含斯坦福最著名的合唱作品，也收录了多首鲜少演出和录音的遗珠之作。
专辑得到斯坦福协会的慷慨支持，小册子中的曲目注解由作曲家音乐研究权威杰里米·迪布尔教授（Jeremy Dibble）撰写，封面肖像为特别委托创作，还包含多幅斯坦福手稿照片（经皇家教会音乐学院许可复制）。
**作曲家与音乐风格**
1852年生于都柏林中上层家庭的斯坦福，其音乐教育始于爱尔兰首府基督教堂与圣帕特里克大教堂的管风琴阁楼。1870年获剑桥女王学院管风琴奖学金，1873年进入三一学院，得以依托其唱诗班学校拓展创作视野。教会音乐自幼年便融入他的血脉，成为其众多卓越创作领域之一。更重要的是，斯坦福的世界主义视野使其能在传统英国圣公会音乐形式中创新：通过交响乐手法与现代乐器编配，他将圣歌、赞美诗、诗篇等体裁重塑，同时奇迹般地保持在礼拜仪式的时间框架内。即便在1892年辞去教会乐职后，他仍在漫长职业生涯中为这些体裁注入丰富的风格、卓越的品质与原创性。
**合唱团与演绎**
温彻斯特公学唱诗班（童声高音）已有625年历史，在马尔科姆·阿彻的精湛指导下，成为以卓越著称的温彻斯特公学礼拜堂合唱团。除每周在学院礼拜堂演唱四场仪式外，唱诗班常参与广播、录音，并赴美、加、德、捷克、香港、意大利、法国、荷兰、俄罗斯等地演出，曲目涵盖神圣与世俗作品，亦频繁亮相伦敦（包括BBC逍遥音乐会）及电视广播。千禧年以来，唱诗班成员三次斩获“BBC青年唱诗班歌手年度大奖”，成就斐然。
**录音亮点**
- **《C大调晨祷、晚祷与圣餐仪式》**：选段中《感恩赞》的庄严合唱与管风琴的宏大共鸣相得益彰，展现斯坦福对传统仪式音乐的结构把控与和声创新。
- **《三首拉丁经文歌》**：以拉丁文歌词与复调织体见长，如《义人的灵魂》通过细腻的声部交织营造神圣氛围，《今日他升上天堂》则以明快节奏模拟升天的轻盈感。
- **改编作品**：如《智慧之歌》与《啊，赞美天上的主》，通过管风琴的即兴性华彩与合唱的应答式段落，赋予古老文本现代听觉体验。
- **《耶和华是我的牧者》**：以民谣般的旋律线条与和声色彩，将宗教文本转化为普世的心灵慰藉，体现斯坦福抒情与哲思兼具的创作特质。
**制作与音响**
录音充分捕捉了莫顿学院礼拜堂的空间共鸣，管风琴的低音震撼与童声高音的纯净形成鲜明对比，马尔科姆·阿彻的指挥注重动态层次，如《来吧，感恩的人们》从轻声倾诉到高潮齐唱的递进，展现合唱团的驾驭能力。高解析度音质清晰呈现歌词咬字与和声细节，使听众沉浸于斯坦福笔下神圣音乐的庄严与温情。

Convivium Records proudly present the sacred choral music of Charles Villiers Stanford, recorded by Winchester College Chapel Choir, with the new Dobson organ in Merton College Chapel, Oxford. This delightful collection includes some of Stanford’s best-known choral music alongside a number of works that are rarely performed and recorded.
Generously supported by the Stanford Society, the booklet programme notes have been compiled by Professor Jeremy Dibble, a leading authority on the composer’s music. The booklet cover portrait was specially commissioned for this release. Also included in the booklet are a number of images of Stanford’s manuscripts, kindly reproduced with permission from the Royal School of Church Music.
Born into an upper-middle-class family in Dublin in 1852, Charles Villiers Stanford received the core of his musical education in the organ lofts of the Irish capital’s two cathedrals of Christ Church and St Patrick’s. An organ scholarship to Queen’s College, Cambridge in 1870 enabled him to spread his wings, and migration to Trinity College, Cambridge in 1873 allowed even greater scope with its choir school and expanding choir of boys and men. Church music was therefore in Stanford’s blood from a tender age and it was one of many idioms in which he shone as a composer. Perhaps more importantly, Stanford’s cosmopolitan outlook allowed him to develop and experiment with traditional Anglican forms. Through the agencies of symphonic treatment and modern instrumental forms, the canticle, anthem, hymn and psalm were transformed in his hands while remaining (and therein lies the miracle) within the parameters of time restriction imposed by the liturgy. Even more astounding is the sheer range, quality and originality he was able to bring to these works throughout his career, well after he gave up employment as a church musician in 1892.
Winchester College Quiristers (trebles) have for over 625 years sung services in Winchester College Chapel. In modern times they have formed a choir (Winchester College Chapel Choir) renowned for its excellence, under the masterful direction of Malcolm Archer. In addition to singing four services each week in the College Chapel, the Quiristers regularly broadcast and record. In recent years the Chapel Choir has sung in the USA, Canada, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Italy, France, Holland and Russia. They perform a fascinating mix of both sacred and secular repertoire and regularly sing in London, where performances have included the BBC Promenade Concerts. They also frequently appear on TV and Radio. On three occasions since the Millennium, Quiristers have won the title of BBC Young Chorister of the Year, by any standards an outstanding record.
