为纪念阿波罗五重唱组合成立10周年……
该组合录制了三张数字EP,它们将组成专辑《玫瑰凋零之处》。组合将于2020年4月24日发行第一卷。
整张专辑探索了人类最复杂的情感:爱。
爱有许多不同的表现形式。它是一幅丰富的织锦,由相互冲突的线索精心编织而成:生命与逝去;美丽与死亡;勇敢的浪漫与被拒时的脆弱;母亲坚定的爱(因意识到不可避免的分离而愈发强烈);以及在基督教叙事中圣母玛利亚和最终的终极牺牲。
为这张首张EP选择的曲目反映了爱在这些不同线索中的多种体现。埃里克·惠特克创作的《这场婚姻》,是鲁米一首诗的节选的优美配乐,是对婚姻中爱情的祝福。弗朗西斯科·格雷罗创作的《来吧,主》和威廉·伯德创作的《你的圣城》,都讲述了在人类绝望面前上帝救赎之爱。约翰·塔弗纳创作的《圣母啊》和保罗·史密斯改编的《江户摇篮曲》,反映了母亲的爱:前者是对圣母玛利亚的祈祷,后者是一位母亲唱给孩子的摇篮曲。
封面艺术作品和标题都指向了爱及其短暂性的最有力象征:玫瑰。阿波罗五重唱组合通过跨越500年和多种音乐风格的丰富曲目集来探索这一理念。发行的这张专辑包含了若斯坎·德普雷、弗朗西斯科·格雷罗、埃里克·惠特克、约翰·塔弗纳、克劳德·德彪西、弗朗西斯·普朗克、杰拉尔德·芬齐和迈克尔·麦克格林等风格各异的作曲家的作品。曲目还包括专门为阿波罗五重唱组合改编的作品(包括埃尔顿·约翰和席尔的流行歌曲),以及来自当代作曲家如大卫·福塞特、保罗·史密斯、泰勒·戴维斯和弗雷泽·威尔逊的几项新委约作品。
阿波罗五重唱组合将这些多样的合唱音乐汇集在一起,从一些已知最早的复调音乐创作到流行音乐领域,充满活力地探索了人类爱情中的喜悦与绝望。

TO MARK THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF APOLLO5…
the group has recorded 3 digital EPs which will form the album “Where All Roses Go”. The group will release the first volume on the 24th April 2020.
The whole album explores that most complex human emotion: love.
Love has many different manifestations. It is a rich tapestry intricately woven with conflicting strands: life and loss; beauty and mortality; brave romance and fragility in rejection; the steadfast devotion of a mother’s love (heightened by the awareness of inevitable separation); and in the Christian narrative the Virgin Mary and the eventual ultimate sacrifice.
The repertoire chosen for this first EP reflects love in a variety of these strands. This Marriage, by Eric Whitacre is a beautiful setting of an extract of a poem by Rumi which is a blessing for love within a marriage. Both Veni Domine by Francisco Guerrero and Civitas Sancti Tui by William Byrd speak of God’s redeeming love in the face of human despair. Mother of God, by John Tavener and Edo Lullaby, arr. by Paul Smith reflect the love of the Mother: the first as a prayer to the Virgin Mary and the second a lullaby sung by a mother to her child.
The cover artwork and title refer to that most potent symbol of love and its transience: the rose. Apollo5 explores this idea through a varied collection of repertoire spanning 500 years and several musical styles. The release includes works by composers as broad-ranging as Josquin des Prez, Francisco Guerrero, Eric Whitacre, John Tavener, Claude Debussy, Francis Poulenc, Gerald Finzi and Michael McGlynn. The programme also features arrangements written especially for Apollo5 (including pop songs by Elton John and Seal) and several new commissions from contemporary composers such as David Fawcett, Paul Smith, Taylor Davis and Fraser Wilson.
Apollo5 unites this diverse collection of choral music, from some of the earliest known polyphonic writing through to the world of pop, in an energetic exploration of the joy and despair of human love.
