莫坦． 羅禮森 之《永恆之光》 Lux Aeterna by Morten Lauridsen
香港首演 Hong Kong P remiere
美國作曲家莫坦 ． 羅禮森 生 於 1943 年 ， 以寫作聲樂曲和合唱曲著稱 。他 服膺 一個 理念 ： 「創作美麗旋律乃最優先考量 。 」因此其作品音響極為優美，且技巧無懈可擊，無論情感或冥想領域都觸及前所未見的深沉境界。 其著名作品 《偉大神跡》 O Magnum Mysterium 更是當今時常被演唱的曲目。 1997 年首演的《永恆之光》，由管絃樂團搭配合唱團演出，靈感源自慈母去世，全曲洋溢溫暖和撫慰的氛圍。
Morten Lauridsen's warm, decidedly tonal compositions have earned for the American composer a secure place in the concert repertory. Born in 1943, Lauridsen inhabits an extremely conservative style directed simply and single-mindedly at showing off the beauty of choral singing while it illustrates inspiring texts. Music by Lauridsen, including his most famous O Magnum Mysterium , occupies a permanent place in the standard vocal repertoire of the Twentieth-Century. Lux Aeterna written for chorus and chamber orchestra was given its world premiere in 1997. The work is in five movements played without pause. Its texts are drawn from sacred Latin sources, each containing references to Light.
「健康快車」 Lifeline Express
國內現時約有四百多萬名白內障患者，而且每年大約有四十萬個新增病例。「健康快車」籌建了首列火車醫院，為內地一些偏僻貧窮的村落病人免費治療白內障，讓他們重見光明，投入新的生活。小小的捐助，便可為一位白內障患者帶來希望的曙光。因為這不單是幫助他改寫自己的一生，更為他的家庭解除沉重負累，擺脫因病致貧的困境。
There are four million cataract patients in Mainland China and there is an increase of 400,000 patients each year. Lifeline Express is a purpose built 4 compartments hospital eye-train, equipped with high tech equipment. This eye train travels to the remote, poverty-stricken, rural parts of China . Free cataract operations are performed on the train. This train restores sight and returns hope. With a small donation, eye-sight can be bestowed on a blind patient. This free cataract operation will change the person's life and the future of an entire family.
