都柏林大学学院合唱团是一支享誉国际的室内合唱团,成员皆为才华横溢的学生歌手,由创始艺术总监德斯蒙德·厄尔利博士领导,该合唱团隶属于都柏林大学艺术与人文学院。合唱团成员来自不同的学术专业,他们致力于密集的合唱学习项目。
《皆大欢喜》是特别为该合唱团创作的三首新作品之一。这首由爱尔兰作曲家伊根·德斯蒙德为合唱团、管弦乐队和小提琴创作的欢快的圣诞颂歌,以“在这所房子里皆大欢喜/天堂因赞美而欢腾!”这样的歌词唤起了圣诞节的欢乐氛围。这张唱片收录了伊沃·安托尼奥尼为男高音独唱、合唱、小提琴和大提琴所创作的降临节素歌赞美诗《基督,万物的救赎主》的精彩版本,该作品是在瑞士驻都柏林大使馆的慷慨支持下为都柏林大学学院合唱团精心打造的。美国作曲家蒂莫西·斯蒂芬斯创作的《东方三博士的崇拜》,是对威廉·巴特勒·叶芝诗歌的精彩谱曲。此外,唱片中还收录了由父子俩阿达姆南·麦克多姆纳尔和温肖恩·麦克多姆纳尔创作的一首优美的爱尔兰语摇篮曲《圣诞颂歌》,以及广受欢迎的苏格兰曲调《摇篮曲》。爱尔兰室内乐团也参与了多首曲目的演奏,包括《韦克斯福德颂歌》和《钟声颂歌》。合唱团以与友谊、希望以及新年承诺最为相关的歌曲《友谊天长地久》为这张专辑画上了句号。
这张唱片的后期制作阶段正值全球应对新冠疫情爆发之际。美国作曲家琳达·卡切尔迈尔的作品《我们为时光干杯》提醒着人们,力量、爱和希望不仅在圣诞节期间,而且在艰难时期也能在全世界产生共鸣。

The Choral Scholars is an internationally acclaimed chamber choir of gifted student singers led by founding Artistic Director, Dr. Desmond Earley, based at University College Dublin College of Arts & Humanities. Scholars come from various academic disciplines and commit to an intensive programme of choral study.
Be all Merry is one of three new pieces especially composed for the Choral Scholars. This lively carol for choir, orchestra and violin by Irish composer Eoghan Desmond evokes the joyful play of Christmas in the lines ‘Be all merry in this house/Exultet celum laudibus!’. The recording contains a remarkable setting of the Advent plainsong hymn Christe Redemptor Omnium for tenor solo, chorus, violin and violoncello by Ivo Antognini, crafted for Choral Scholars with the kind support of the Swiss Embassy in Dublin. The Adoration of the Magi by American composer Timothy Stephens is a breathtaking setting of W. B. Yeats’ poetry. A beautiful Irish-language lullaby – Cró na Nollag – set by father and son, Adhamhnán and Uinseann Mac Domhnaill, and the much-loved Scottish tune simply titled Suantraí, are also included. The Irish Chamber Orchestra are also featured on a number of tracks including The Wexford Carol and Carol of the Bells. The choir closes the album with the song most associated with friendship, hope and the promise of a new year, Auld Lang Syne.
The post-production phase of this recording project took place as the world grappled with the outbreak of COVID-19. American composer Linda Kachelmeier’s piece – We Toast the Days – serves as a reminder of the strength, love and hope that resonates throughout the world not simply at Christmastide but also during periods of hardship.
