PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

( 新作，2022) 作曲、作詞：黃旨穎

Metaverse Fantasy (New Work, 2022) Music & Lyrics: Cynthia Wong

簡約音樂（minimal music，有譯極簡音樂）源自 1960 年代，最先用於形容一批英美作曲家如尼文、格拉斯、賴克、拉尼、約翰．亞當斯等概念性的，以多個短小段落不斷重覆，卻在隱約間帶出微妙變化的音樂作品，《元宇宙幻想曲》正是以這種風格寫成的實驗作品。樂曲開首部份合唱團分成三組以不同組合反覆演唱四個指定樂句，並隨機

插入第五樂句，機遇（aleatoric）手法讓作品每次演出均有不同效果。隨後鋼琴加入，各聲部反覆吟唱獨特的音程組合，相同樂句在聲部間輪流更替，加上四位隨機加入的獨唱音樂始終在持續重覆卻暗地裡在變化。零散細碎的粵語歌詞表面上描述新世代元宇宙的各式想像與意象，然而在反覆出現與層層堆疊之下，粵語獨有語韻卻製造出奇幻有趣的聲響效果。

《元宇宙幻想曲》由中大合唱團委約創作並作世界首演。此曲可供任何合唱組合（混聲、同聲）演唱，並有英語版本。

The term 'minimal music' is often used to describe a generation of Anglo-American composers in the 1960s, such as Michael Nyman, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley and John Adams, whose compositions often involve repetition of short musical phrases with subtle changes. Cynthia Wong's Metaverse Fantasy is an experiment on such composition style. The piece starts with each vocal part singing four musical phrases in a designated loop. A fifth phrase is inserted randomly among the loops, adding an aleatoric element to the piece. The piano entry marks a new section, with the vocal parts singing intervallic loops, and exchanging musical phrases with the other parts. Four freely-inserted musical 'modules' for soloists recount fragments from the loops with subtle changes. Fragmented Cantonese lyrics suggest imageries of the metaverse in the cyber age, the unique sonic quality of the language forms an interesting sound world upon repetitions and juxtapositions of the lyrics.

Metaverse Fantasy is commissioned and premièred by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus. This piece can be sung by choruses of mixed or equal voices. A version with English lyrics is also available.

宇宙瞬間這瞬間踏進萬萬個宇宙不斷穿越眼前光線想穿越跨過來跨到未來光速瞬間快速元宇宙無限光速新宇宙一起穿梭宇宙一片資訊宇宙 Metaverse

Universe Moment This moment, we enter into multiple universes Looking beyond our vision Go beyond Step into Step into the future Light speed Momentarily Speedily Metaverse Limitless Light speed New universe Travel together in the universe A cyber universe Metaverse

Three Cantonese Nursery Rhymes Music & Lyrics: Wai Yin Arrangement: Frankie Ho

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

作曲、作詞：韋然編曲：Frankie Ho

樂曲簡介、歌詞

粵語童謠三首

韋然素有「香港兒歌之父」美譽，這源於他在 1970 年代末開始以當時流傳下來僅能唸誦的童謠歌詞為基礎，重新創作成大量可供唱詠的兒歌。這些兒歌自發表後大受歡迎，甚至流傳至廣州，多年來在一代又一代的兒童間傳唱，歷久不衰，已成現代粵語文化的瑰寶。

我與韋然結緣於 2014 年的音樂劇製作《飛行棋》，當中引用了多首韋然的兒歌作品。因此，當中大合唱團指揮

朱振威邀請我從韋然的兒歌作品挑選改編成混聲合唱，我很自然地選擇了這三首當年曾採用的歌曲，因為這是韋然作品中知名度最高，最廣為人知也最廣受傳唱，這會讓事情更好玩！

從一首兒歌變成一首男女四部合唱曲，好玩的地方在於如何令音樂由成年人唱出而不覺簡單幼稚。我在編曲時刻意利用古典合唱中四部皆可以當主角的手法，避免令作品因近似流行曲或民謠「旋律與伴奏」編排而令人覺得「小兒科」，《狐狸先生幾點鐘？》（1976/2021）裡面，當女低音演唱旋律時，其他聲部演唱的素材都是結構上十分重要的複調旋律，正是一例。

我本是音樂劇作曲家也經常參與音樂劇製作，想到借鑑戲劇中的「play against」手法，以一個跟作品情緒相反

的形式呈現⸺有時慘情戲與其老套地要求演員在台上哭個死去活來，反而及不上笑著唸出傷感台詞來得感人肺腑。在《何家小雞何家猜》（1976/2019）的第二部份，我採用了傳統百老匯音樂劇常見，源自早期爵士

樂的「大樂隊」風格，當搖擺節奏的「大樂隊」風格上場，歌曲的童真頓時消失，取而代之的卻是燈紅酒綠的成人之趣：「大樂隊」的發源地，正是夜總會！

羅西尼與比才的歌劇合唱寫法一直深得我喜愛，創作這套作品時他們的風格正好大派用場。特別是喜劇能手羅

西尼，他將人聲當成樂器的寫法，例如要男聲唱著急速的斷音與樂團的巴松管配合，能有效炮製出幽默效果。

《木頭公仔唔准笑》（1977/2021）要歌手模仿動物叫聲的段落，就是受羅西尼啟發。

⸺ Frankie Ho Wai Yin is famed as the Father of Nursery Rhymes in Hong Kong. This originates from his large number of recomposed nursery rhymes from the late 1970s, based on the lyrics circulated in oral tradition. These new rhymes soon became popular in Hong Kong and even in Guangzhou for many generations till today, forming an important treasure of Cantonese culture. My first collaboration with Wai Yin was Wong Sze Ma's My Boy the Musical , in which many Wai Yin's nursery rhymes are quoted. When Leon Chu, the Music Director of CU Chorus, invited me to arrange Wai Yin's rhymes for mixed choir, I picked the three most famous tunes which are used in my musical. The whole process of arrangement gave me a lot of fun! It is often tricky to arrange nursery rhymes which should not sound too childish for mature choirs to sing. I here utilize all four parts in the choir so they all have dominating moments, as in classical choral writing, unlike the simple 'melody-and-chord' arrangements in pop or folk music. For instance in Mr Fox, What Time Is It Now? (1976/2021), while alto is singing the melody, other parts are singing in polyphony which carry some structural significance to the piece.

樂曲簡介、歌詞

From my experience as a composer of musicals, and my participation in various theatre productions, I borrowed the theatrical device to 'play against', in which the stage action is opposite to the emotion in the script. I have seen

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

too many cases where actors are asked to cry bitterly on stage in grieving scenes, but that is not as touching as to smile in those sorrowful narratives. In the ending section of Whose Little Rooster? Whose? Guess! (1976/2019), I used a jazzy 'Big Band' style as often featured in Broadway musicals. The swing passage sweeps away all innocent flavour of the tune, and inject a rather adultery sensation to the music, as the first 'Big Bands' in the history were playing in Night Clubs! The writing of choral scenes in operas by Rossini and Bizet are of my big favour, which I here adapt for this set of choral pieces. In Rossini's comic operas, the vocal lines often sound instrumental, such as quick staccato of male singers coupling with bassoons, which effectively bring comic effects. This inspires me to arrange Don’t Laugh!

Wooden Doll! , with singers imitating animal sounds. Frankie Ho

1. 狐狸先生幾點鐘 ? (1976/2021)

Naughty boy is running here and there! Danger is all around! . Lost in the mountain is so dangerous, but the little monkey doesn't know "It's getting dark, it's so dark, my son hasn't returned yet!" Mother monkey never knows, baby monkey will never come back! Mr. Fox laughs to himself, so evil and cunning “Why so worried about my dinner?

你的名字

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

作曲：李偲菘作詞：林夕改編：譚天樂

我的姓氏（1996/2022）

Your Name My Surname (1996/2022) Music: Peter Lee Lyrics: Lin Xi Arrangement: Alex Tam

天皇巨星張學友於 1996 年 2 月結婚，註冊後方公告天下，其好友李偲菘與林夕決定趕工創作新歌作賀禮。同年 3 月在香港管弦樂團音樂會首次演唱，那時歌曲甚至仍未命名。歌曲最後以《你的名字我的姓氏》收錄於該場音樂會現場錄音專輯《愛與交響曲》，推出後旋即登上各大流行榜，也成了 1996 年度各大音樂頒獎禮大贏家。譚天樂的編曲大膽地將副歌以無伴奏演唱當成新的引子，而原曲耳熟能詳的弦樂引子則重置成稍後的一段過門；而為著讓男女聲部皆有機會演唱旋律，編曲也增加了多次移調。在忠於原曲及添加新意之間，譚天樂的編曲示範了出色的平衡。 Superstar singer Jacky Cheung got married in February 1996, which was only announced after their registration. His songwriter friend Peter Lee and lyricist Lin Xi rushed up a new song as a wedding present for him. This then-untitled song was first sung in Jacky Cheung's concert with the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra in March that year. Only till the live concert album Love and Symphony was released a month after the concert, the song was given the title Your Name My Surname , which popularity soon soared among Hong Kong pop music charts, and later winning many music awards of the year in 1996. In the choral arrangement by Alex Tam, the chorus section and the introduction for strings are exchanged here. There are also a few modulations so both male and female voices have moments to sing the melody. Alex Tam's arrangement demonstrates an ideal balance between originality and creativity.

Ardently Love (2007/2022) Music: Vincent Chow Lyrics: Lin Xi Arrangement: Ally

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

作曲：Vincent Chow 作詞：林夕改編：艾利

樂曲簡介、歌詞

酷愛（2007/2022）

《酷愛》首次收錄於 2007 年張敬軒在香港發行的第二張粵語個人專輯《酷愛》，是該專輯的主打歌，隨後橫掃多個音樂獎項，包括商業電台叱吒樂壇流行榜頒獎典禮我最喜愛的歌曲大獎及至尊歌曲大獎，也獲選為無綫電視十大勁歌金曲頒獎典禮及香港電台十大中文金曲頒獎音樂會年度十大之一。艾利的編曲保留大量原曲元素，尾聲的對位旋律在合唱團的編制輕易重現，而原作編曲裏不少素材改由合唱團唱出。有趣的是，合唱版完全沒有出現過四部一起以相同節奏同時演唱的和弦式織體，似是呼應歌詞中的敘事者慘受情傷無法與愛人在一起的命運。 The song Ardently Love is first released in Hins Cheung's second Cantonese album in Hong Kong, which is also the title track of the album. Since its release the song won popular acclaim with many top music awards, including Commercial Radio 2 Ultimate Song Chart Awards, TVB Jade Solid Gold Top Ten Songs Music Awards and RTHK Top Ten Chinese Songs Music Awards. Ally's choral arrangement of this popular hit retained many original elements of the song, including the counter-melody in the closing section, and choral adaptation of the original arrangement. Interestingly, the four vocal parts in the choir never sing together homophonically in this arrangement, which appears to symbolize the fate of the persona who suffers bitterly from the ardently love, never able to get together with the beloved.

Don’t Text Him（2017/2022）

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

作曲、作詞：Serrini 改編：黃歷琛

Don’t Text Him ((2017/2022) Music & Lyrics: Serrini Arrangement: Alexander Wong

創作歌手 Serrini 第四張專輯《Don't Text Him》於 2017 年發行，是她首張於專業錄音室製作的專輯。儘管 Serrini 早年以玩味十足的趣味作品走紅，收起一貫幽默感的抒情歌曲《Don't Text Him》也是深受歌迷喜愛的作品，是

Serrini 從怪誕幽默風格開拓更多元化表達手法的成功嘗試。簡單而窩心的旋律配以鋼琴伴奏，訴說一個單戀故事。合唱改編完整保留原曲的簡約風格，大致上是旋律配上和聲，偶爾利用文字著色增添色彩。編曲黃歷琛本為資深

合唱伴奏，在此曲鋼琴伴奏部份巧妙地援引冉天豪《願》、潘旻紫行《蒲公英》、石青如《世界恬靜下來的時》、德布西《月光》及佛瑞《尚．拉辛讚歌》等名作素材呼應歌詞內容，令新編曲多了一重可堪玩味的詮釋空間。

Singer-songwriter Serrini released her fourth album Don't Text Him in 2017, which is the first one recorded in a professional studio. Unlike the humorous and playful style in her earlier songs, this lyrical title track

Don't Text Him uses a simple melody with a backing piano to tell a story of unrequited love. Her attempt to adapt a more diversified style soon became her fans' favourite. The choral arrangement is made by Alexander Wong, a renowned collaborative pianist. Through the use of a simple homophonic style with some word-painting, he quoted many pieces in the piano part to reflect on the lyrics, such as Wish by Jan Tien-hao, Dandelion by Pan Xingzimin, When the World Quiets Down by Shih Ching-Ju, Clair de

lune by Debussy and Cantique de Jean Racine by Fauré, giving an insightful interpretation to the song.

最愛你淺笑的臉如眉頭和額角也在笑讓我驚覺有看下去的需要我卻怕這個需要嚇怕精緻的你沉默了嚇得你不再淺笑不得了

我哪會不顧一切膽小成問題太弱了是妄想太過到盡處是寂寥我最愛感覺飄渺如無從著地又太累了怕想到這裡哭了多可笑凝眸的一息間不得了我最怕一再想起似天空清澈的你又有哪個可比悠然自得呼吸吞吐的你似看破生死靈魂共振似碰到太驚喜夏至秋天的距離月與倒影的距離猶如站在遠方的你

愛意似心裡鬱結然而重遊舊地又怕遇見是你嗎細碎故事再想一遍怕我太興奮不已說抱歉講幾次太在意說穿了這個鬱結可不可以

I love your smiling face As if your eyebrows and forehead are also smiling It makes me feel the need to keep watching I’m afraid of this need Afraid of scaring you, who are delicate, into silence Afraid it’ll end your smile, and that won’t do How could I give up everything? My cowardice becomes a problem, I’m too weak I have too many delusions, which end in loneliness I love feeling like I’m floating But if I’m not grounded, I’d feel tired I’m afraid I’d cry from thinking of this, isn’t that funny A moment of staring and I’m undone I’m most afraid I’d remember You, who’s like the clear skies Who could compare to You, who freely and leisurely breathe As if you see through life and death The resonance between two souls comes as a surprise The distance between summer and autumn The distance between the moon and its reflection Is like you, who stand at a distance Love is like a knot in my mind, Revisiting the old places, but afraid of meeting Is it you? Recalling those little stories I’m afraid I’m too excited, said sorry several times, I care too much, Can I get through this knot?

沒有沒有傷口的宇宙

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

(混聲版本，2018/2022）作曲：譚天樂作詞：岑偉宗

No Woundless World (SATB Version, 2020/2022) Music: Alex Tam Lyrics: Chris Shum

我信音樂是用來連繫你我的溝通橋樑，是打破隔膜的世界語言，是觸動人類心靈的聲音。這樣說來，有時只為勝出而參加音樂比賽會讓我們遠離音樂的本質：參賽時一心想著絕不犯錯以避免扣分，無暇理會自己能否唱出感情

豐富、演繹細膩的歌聲；自選作品又側重表演難度，可惜技術與藝術的高度並不一定成正比。最終比賽獲獎固然皆大歡喜，但沉迷爭勝忘卻學習音樂的初心，真能幫助學生在音樂路上成長嗎？

收到時任瑪利曼中學合唱團指揮的劉迪恩老師委約，我很快就約了岑兄見面討論創作方向。傾談中跟他分享了我

對音樂與音樂比賽的上述看法，又說為兒童及青少年譜曲，題材不一定要充滿歡笑，也可以挖掘世界的陰暗面或是人生的不完美，人總要面對失敗，論及慘痛低潮也未嘗不可。岑兄交出了《沒有沒有傷口的宇宙》，初讀第一稿

已經非常感動，但後來我卻退縮起來，覺得對初級組合唱團來說可能過份傷感。再三討論找出平衡點，重新修訂。此曲寄語同學，人生必會遇上困難曲折，哭過了就重新振作，與一班戰友繼續奮鬥前行！此曲原為女聲三部，2022 年由中大合唱團委約改編成混聲四部。 ⸺ 譚天樂 I believe music is a bridge that connects us all, a universal language that knows no borders, as well as a voice that touches the soul. That being said, it appears to me that some music competitions have little to do with what I understand to be music. In a competition, instead of emphasis being placed on whether or not a performance is rich in emotions or exquisite in interpretation, the focus is often shifted to choosing technically difficult pieces and avoid making mistakes. However, technical excellence does not necessarily equate with artistic excellence. Winning competitions is something worth celebrating, but for the healthy development of the younger generation of musicians, I firmly believe that an obsession with winning is unhealthy as it makes us forget the fundamental reasons for studying music. After being commissioned by Ms. Jane Lau, conductor of Marymount Secondary School Choir at that time, I quickly met with Chris Shum to discuss creative direction and share my views on music and competitions. I also suggested to Chris that lyrics for children and adolescents need not necessarily be joyful, as the dark side or imperfections in life are topics worth exploring. Teaching children how to face failure, or writing about pain and low points in our lives may not be a bad idea. I was immensely touched when Chris handed me the first draft of No Woundless World (2018). Chris had written a dark song just as I requested, but then I got cold feet and felt that it might be too sad for a junior choir. After further discussion, revisions were made, and I believe the correct balance was achieved. This piece conveys the message to students: It is inevitable that life is full of challenges and obstacles. You may cry, but you should pick yourself up, dust yourself off and continue to fight alongside your comrades. The piece is originally written for SSA Choir and piano. The SATB version is commissioned by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus in 2022.

奮鬥故事為我的奮鬥作序有個夢若要爭取不要問（誰）去到最後成敗的真確年歲也許當你受傷便離去但我知在這生裡尚有很多歲去為我起個堡壘就算這刻想退下秒有風繼續吹別在低壓槽盤踞和時間說空虛

誰能兩手沒有傷口面對漆黑宇宙時間也沒有停留唯求勇敢面對荒謬於苦海深溝碰上個戰友會與你再接上奮鬥

有散有聚就有歡笑有眼淚有快樂就有唏噓不要問（誰）去到最後成敗的真確年歲也許當你受傷便離去誰能兩手沒有傷口面對漆黑宇宙時間也沒有停留唯求勇敢面對荒謬於苦海深溝碰上個戰友會與你再接上奮鬥時間也沒有停留

Who can have both hands free from wounds? Facing the dark universe, And time won’t stop. Does woundless exist?

樂曲簡介、歌詞

誰能兩手沒有傷口面對漆黑宇宙時間也沒有停留有沒有沒有傷口

Wipe away the tears, If vision can be sharpened. I wish to see a pioneer. I would ask, who is the greatest? How to tell right from wrong? In their eyes, How am I to receive their compliments? It’s only a sentence. Everything is relative. Stories of endeavor are the preface of my endeavors. If there is a dream to fight for, Do not ask: In the end, The true age of failure or success. Perhaps you would walk away when you are wounded. But I know, that in my life, There are still a lot of years To build a castle for myself. Even though I thought of quitting at this moment Wind continues to blow the next second. Do not entrench in the trough, Or talk about desolation with time. Who can have both hands free from wounds? Facing the dark universe, And time won’t stop. Only wish to face absurdity with courage. In the deep sea of misery, Meet a comrade, Who would fight alongside with you. With meeting and parting, Comes laughter and tears. With happiness comes despair. Do not ask: In the end, the true age of failure or success. Perhaps you would walk away when you are wounded. Who can have both hands free from wounds? Facing the dark universe, And time won’t stop. Only wish to face absurdity with courage. In the deep sea of misery, Meet a comrade, Who would fight alongside with you. Time won’t stop. English translation of Lyrics: Sari Ng

上半生相遇

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

(混聲版本，2020/2022）作曲：譚天樂作詞：岑偉宗

You, My Prelude (SATB Version, 2020/2022) Music: Alex Tam Lyrics: Chris Shum

《上半生相遇》是獻給瑪利曼中學的劉迪恩老師，亦是為她 2020 年榮休音樂會而創作的主題曲，可是音樂會因疫情延至 2021 年 7 月才順利舉行。我從 2009 年起為瑪利曼中學擔任合唱團的聲樂指導，12 年來與劉老師的關係相當密切，除了是音樂上的伙伴，也是好友。我從她身上學習到的東西，遠比起我所能付出的多。《上半生相遇》是為劉老師感性的詮釋風格度身訂造，單是主旋律我就花了大半年時間才斷續寫成，然後再交給岑偉宗填詞。音樂上雖然有不少轉調和一些合唱的對位手法，但仍然非常貼近粵語流行曲曲風，所以此曲應保持一個比較穩定的速度，而「然後看，時日如樂韻……」則適合富彈性及自由的處理。歌曲最後部份應凸顯複雜的層次感；若四個不停穿插的聲部能保持均等的力量，此曲定能更富感染力。全曲最叫我感動的一句我想大概是「幸運就是遇上恩師，學未唱的歌……」：「恩師」的「恩」字正是劉老師名字中的「恩」，所以「恩師」實有雙重意義；每一首賺人熱淚的歌都幸得恩師教導，我們又怎能忘記您多年的恩惠？此曲原為女聲三部合唱創作，於 2022 年由中大合唱團委約改編成混聲四部版本。

⸺ 譚天樂

You, My Prelude is dedicated to Ms. Jane Lau, conductor of the Marymount Secondary School (MSS) Choir. It was written as the theme song for her 2020 retirement celebration concert, which was rescheduled to July 2021 due to the pandemic. Jane and I have been wonderful musical partners and good friends ever since I became the vocal coach of the MSS Choir in 2009. In fact, I learned more than I could actually offer. You, My Prelude was tailored for Ms. Lau’s expressive style; the melody alone took me half a year to complete, before sending to Chris Shum to write the lyrics. The musical structure, albeit with some modulations and counterpoint passages, is still very close to Cantopop style, thus the piece is better sung in a stable tempo, except the rubato passages. ["And then I see — time is like music"]. If the intertwined texture in the final section is sung with four well-balanced vocal parts, it can be a touching part of the piece. “I am fortunate to have met a gracious teacher, learning the unsung songs” is the phrase that touches me most. While 'gracious teacher' ( 恩師 ) and Ms. Lau’s Chinese name ( 劉迪恩 ) share the same Chinese Character ( 恩 ), ‘gracious teacher’ means much more than it actually seems. For every song that moves someone, we are fortunate to have our gracious teacher’s guidance; how can we ever forget your grace through the years? The piece is originally written for SSA Choir and piano. The SATB version is commissioned by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus in 2022. Alex Tam English Translation: Johanna Chan

Knowing you in the first half of life will lead me through the rest If I cared about experiences from then, it would be meeting you, bringing new meaning I am fortunate to have met a gracious teacher, learning unsung songs Gradually learning, in my heart I know who has walked the long road with me past to present Hoping in the future to once again Start with love without an end

Singing escorts my heart, leaving footprints In the midst of it all, you were there walking with me through sunshine and fog Through the years, the bright and dark linger in a lasting reverb In my heart, a thousand thoughts and feelings meet From arguments to restraint, we shared joys and tribulations How much lament it took to call my heart blessed When I was depressed, I had your company and trust And then I see time is like music And then I hear the endless overtones Asking my heart

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

選自《路比和嫲嫲的鐵路 5 號》作曲、改編：黃旨穎作詞：唐家穎

Goodbye, Hello! (2021/2022) from Cinematic Memories on Train No. 5 Music & Arrangement: Cynthia Wong Lyrics: Serena Tong

音樂劇《路比和嫲嫲的鐵路 5 號》由莫翠盛編劇、黃旨穎作曲、唐家穎作詞，於 2021 年國際綜藝合家歡由演戲家族製作首演。故事講述患有腦退化的嫲嫲逝世，由於要心無牽掛方能前往天堂，於是按車長指示邀請了孫兒路比一同乘搭回憶列車重溫過去，以放下心事，旅途上三人雖然經歷意外險阻，路比最終還是從回憶之旅了解到嫲嫲的愛從未變改，最後日子的冷漠與疏忽，都只是嫲嫲受疾病折磨的結果，兩嫲孫冰釋前嫌，嫲嫲終能坦然上路。〈不散〉是全劇終曲，唱於兩嫲孫離別之時，合唱版本由黃旨穎親自改編。鋼琴引子的八度動機猶如鐵路交叉口的指示鐘聲，合唱團的無詞段落將氣氛變得夢幻瑰麗，卻同時散發淡淡哀愁。女聲唱出簡潔的旋律，聲響在各部輪流加入後變得豐厚，有著如同教會聖詩的和聲與織體的副歌，溫暖人心。 The musical Cinematic Memories on Train No. 5 , written by Benny Mok, with music by Cynthia Wong and lyrics by Serena Tong, was first staged by Actor's Family in International Arts Carnival 2021. In the story, Robbie’s grandmother, who has been suffering from dementia, is in her last moments of life. As it is believed that one can only enter heaven with a released mind, Grandma invited Robbie to join her on an imaginary rail trip into the past, as told by the Conductor of the Train, in order to resolve their old conflicts. They encounter many incidents during the trip, through which Robbie realizes the love of Grandma has never ceased, and that he often felt ignored in the past is merely due to Grandma's ailing condition in her last days. After their reconciliation, Grandma finally enters heaven. Goodbye, Hello! , arranged by original composer Cynthia Wong for mixed choir and piano, is the final number of the musical, marking the parting scene of Robbie and Grandma. The opening ringing octaves on the piano resemble the railroad crossing alarm, with the wordless chorus setting a dreamy, gloomy background to the piece. The melody is first sung by female voices, with more voices joining in to enrich the texture, leading to a heart-warming, chorale-like chorus section. 雲散了再飛返極光裡翩翩拍翼無間有黑暗方珍惜一瞬間亮照美麗的蔚藍曾見過記心間耀眼繽紛色彩千變萬化曾共一起走過看人間讓你思憶更璀璨年月隨蝴蝶轉燃亮華麗滿天但未停在我手未抱住

還想可經歷多次能逆轉抵擋變遷（能盼兌現）還想可相聚多次留住光影與歡笑

年月難被逆轉同度時日變遷如未停在我手望記住（凝望視線）能一起經歷多次才驟覺精彩每天能好好揮別一次留在心底最真摯垂柳處野花間漫天思憶的璀璨不散讓你思憶更璀璨

Clouds dissipate, but they return Amidst the aurora, wings soar high Because of darkness, we learn to treasure those moments They shine bright in that azure sky Moments we've experienced are lodged in our hearts Radiant colours transform in myriad ways We've shared our journey in the mortal world Memories are thus all the more bedazzled The years pass as butterflies make their turns They illuminate the whole sky with splendour But I can't grasp them, I can't catch them I still want to share more experiences We'll endure misfortune and change (I hope they'll come true) I still want to keep you company again To capture all the light, shadows, joy and laughter We cannot turn back the clocks The times we share do change Though I can't grasp them, I hope to remember (by my gazing) We've shared a lot Now I know every day is an exciting day As we bid a fond farewell The purest sincerity remains in the heart By the willows, among wildflowers Glorious memories fill the sky They linger on Memories are thus all the more bedazzled English translation of Lyrics: Dr. Joanna C.

PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

(選段，2017/2020/2022）作曲：劉穎途作詞：張飛帆改編：王樂行

(Selections, 2017/2020/2022) Music: Lau Wing-tao Lyrics: Cheung Fei-fan Arrangement: Amos Wong

作曲家劉穎途與編劇兼作詞家張飛帆兩人合作無間，是近年香港音樂劇壇備受觸目的創作拍檔。自 2016 年《時光倒流香港地》首演，再有《熱鬥獅子球》(2019)、《一水南天》(2017/2020)、《夢綣塘西》(2021) 及《高加索傳奇》(2022 圍讀稿 ) 先後上演，合共發表五部音樂劇作品。不過兩人真正首次合作，應數早於 2013 年開始籌備構思，雕琢七年才於 2020 年正式公演的《一水南天》。《一水南天》故事圍繞本為碼頭苦力的潮州小子陳一水在米業力爭上游的經過，劇情既有與俞少鴻為首的一眾米行大鱷較勁的商場角力，也有周旋於女海盜徐老海與富家女方玟之間的恩怨愛恨。全劇以香港淪陷陳一水火燒辛苦到港米糧以阻日軍據為己有作結，為此劇添上一筆悲壯情懷。這是「香港人」的故事：五湖四海聚首香港，但求搵食卻又妄想發達，然而在大是大非前卻能義無反顧擇善固執⸺這就是創作者心目中的「香港人」。《一水南天》的音樂風格豐富多姿，既有流行音樂、中國民歌、民族音樂、戲曲（俞少鴻設定為京劇票友）等，但主要基調仍是兩位主創人同樣喜愛的史詩式管弦樂。各種風格混搭下，音樂與波瀾壯闊的曲折劇情緊密結合，也為劇中各式人物帶來生命。這套合唱組曲由年輕作曲家王樂行以兩位獨唱、混聲合唱及鋼琴伴奏的編制重新編曲。在小型的新編制下，編曲仍致力忠於原著，以人聲特質及和聲色彩，重現原劇配樂的氣魄。合唱組曲以音樂劇的 2017 及 2020 年版本合共挑選八首歌曲組成，既是原劇精華唱段，也務求在重新排列後仍能保留故事推進： 1. 《天命》：1920 年代初，碼頭眾生相襯托陳一水出場。 2. 《金粉世界》：陳一水與海盜徐老海合作從暹羅入口白米企圖割價傾銷，藉推倒米價解救香港米荒，豈料俞少鴻以本傷人高價掃貨，白米價格破新高，米荒未除陳一水卻突然暴富。 3. 《為富不仁》：陳一水終於發財卻有違初心，亦辜負徐老海所託，愧疚中立志對抗命運。 4. 《月光光》：陳一水為擊敗俞少鴻，與其勁敵方學臨之女方玟成婚，徐老海為之黯然神傷，愛恨交纏，三人各自唏噓。 5. 《俞家船》：富家子弟俞少鴻慨嘆出身大富之家雖表面風光，卻無法自主命運。 6. 《變天》：陳一水計劃再次傾銷白米，回程船隊遇上風浪，徐老海為救自己犧牲，僅得自己唯一一艘船返港。陳一水如期參加拍賣，俞少鴻以高價鎖價掃貨，途中傳來消息船隊盡數奇蹟回航，供應暴增，米價崩潰，俞少鴻破產。 7. 《新鬼》：徐老海的孤魂旁觀物換星移，對陳一水作遙遠祝福。 8. 《焚城》：1941 年，陳一水到暹羅帶回大量白米好讓港人安心備戰，得悉港督決定投降而手上白米將全數被日軍充公，決定燒毀所有白米。是次音樂會將演出組曲第一、二、四、六、七、八樂章。全套組曲之樂譜將由中大合唱協會出版。

樂曲簡介、歌詞 PROGRAMME NOTES & LYRICS

Composer Lau Wing-tao and playwright Cheung Fei-fan form a highly-celebrated creative duo in many theatre productions in Hong Kong, partnering in five Cantonese musicals including Our Time, Our Hong Kong (2016), Go Lion! Goal! (2019), A Tale of the Southern Sky (2017/2020), Westside Twirling Dream (2021) and the most recent The Caucasian Chalk Circle Musical (2022, work-in-progress). Tracing the starting point of their creative partnership, it was in 2013 when they made initial plans on the grand musical A Tale of the Southern Sk y, which took them seven years to finally stage in 2020. The story of A Tale of the Southern Sky is centred around Chan Yat Shui, who comes from Chiu Chow (Chaozhou) and tries to make a living in Hong Kong. He starts as a coolie at the harbour. With his courage and strength, he later becomes one of the most important rice traders in the town. In the musical, there are a number of dramatic scenes, including rice trading scenes when Chan competes with a group of rice merchants, led by the tycoon Yu Siu Hung; and a love triangle between Chan, Tsui Lo Hoi, a female pirate, and Fong Man, a young lady from a rice merchant family. The epic finale portrays a rice burning scene on the eve of Japanese occupation of Hong Kong in 1941, when Chan Yat Shui puts all the stocks of hardly-obtained rice on fire, to avoid them being confiscated by the Japanese occupying troops. The story is strongly tied to many Hong Kong people — coming from various regions and settled in, despite eyeing on earning a living and dreaming to become rich, they still stand for virtues and justice at the times calling for righteousness — this is how the qualities of Hong Kong people are in the eyes of the creators of the musical. This musical is a melting pot of many musical styles, including pop, Chinese traditional, folk, traditional Chinese opera (Yu Siu Hung is a connoisseur in the plot), but it is the epic orchestral sound, favoured by both creators, that forms the main musical canvas. Such mixing of styles not only portrays the characters vividly, but also provides strong connections between various dramatic moments in this epic story. The young composer Amos Wong created a Choral Suite for two vocal soloists, a mixed choir with piano accompaniment. With this chamber setting, Wong utilizes various qualities of human voice and harmonic colours to depict the epic spirit of the original music. This Choral Suite incorporates eight numbers from the 2017 reading version, and the 2020 staged version of the musical, featuring many musical highlights while preserving the original narrative — 1. 2.

Destiny : A mass scene at the Triangular Pier in the early 1920s, where Chan Yat Shui makes his first entry in the musical. A World of Glitter : With the help of Tsui Lo Hoi, a female pirate, Chan imports rice from Siam and attempts to sell them at a much lower price, in order to save people's lives during rice shortage. But tycoon Yu Siu Hung buys them out with a high price, pushes the rice price to a record-high and profits from them. Chan suddenly gets loads of cash but leaves the ordinary people in hopelessness. Must Rich Men be Malevolent ?: Chan becomes rich, but this is all against what he promised to Tsui Lo Hoi in saving the helpless ones. With a deep sense of guilt, he determines to go against fate. Moonlight : Chan decides to form an ally with Fong Hok Lum, a rice merchant and a major rival to Yu Siu Hung. His daughter Fong Man, who falls in love with Chan by his courage of life, offers herself for a marriage with Chan to foster the alliance. Chan, Tsui and Fong Man trap in an unhappy love triangle, leaving Tsui Lo Hoi in deep despair. The Yu Flee t: As a descendant from a wealthy family, Yu Siu Hung laments his fate which is not in his own hands. Deluge : Chan makes a fightback with another large import of rice, but the fleet is hit in a huge storm upon return. Tsui Lo Hoi sacrifices herself and drowns into the sea, leaving Chan's leading ship the only one that returns. Chan goes on to the trading, while Yu uncompromisingly scoops up all rice stocks from Chan at high price. Suddenly, news breaks in — the rest of the fleet survives the storm and just gets to the pier. Rice stock instantly multiplies and price drops. Yu goes bankrupt. The Crossing Spirit : Tsui Lo Hoi, now a wandering spirit, sends her heartfelt wishes to Chan. City on Fir e: Time flies to 1941, Chan brings in large stocks of rice from Siam to maintain a stable supply in Hong Kong during wartime, but the news of the Governor's surrender breaks in. In light of having all the rice confiscated by the Japanese troops, Chan puts them all on fire.

The performance of this concert includes movements 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 of the suite, which will be published by CU Chorus Association.

4. 月光光

Am I being ruthless, or is my fate going against me? If I rescind my marriage, I can no longer stand in this world This parting today Leaves my last gaze of you With our ties severed Send my thanks to Miss Tsui for her gift With regards from her bygone acquaintance Looking back over my life, I was living on the deck since five Destined for a turbulent life My dad told me to stay strong To live through such unsettling times I was just sixteen, a maiden with much pride But not yet learn the line between love and hate My dad was struck to death, leaving his troops behind I was fated to lead them With such experiences, one shall come and go at will But why now I leave myself in such sorrow? I cannot move on, as my mind is wandering I wish I can love someone fully I do not deserve heaven's pity on me But I can't get away with these feelings All through my 16 years, I am bound to this house Enjoying all kinds of luxury My father puts me under strict family rules What do I know about love? I cannot move on, as my mind is wandering I wish I can love someone fully I do not deserve heaven's pity on me But I can't get away with these regrets The moon shines on me I ask myself in my prayer for loving such a wealthy lady This should not happen, but she is waiting in the bridal chamber Flowers bloom tonight, spring breezes are coming At late night, the moon is reflected on my tears Candles are lit, giving light to the drunken spirit When I wake up from my dream, the stars no longer meet Spilled water cannot be gathered up again

Perhaps we shall forget each other, without bidding any farewell There is a kind of hope in this world More everlasting than heaven and the sea Shall my thoughts are cleansed, I will carry on my way I ask the moon, whether our love is predestined? Though we shall forget each other, I resist to bid any farewell There is a kind of tears in this world Weaved with happiness and sorrow Shall the stars move apart, burdening love is a sin Are your wishes fulfilled?

演出者簡介 PERFORMER'S BIOGRAPHY

香港中文大學合唱團「…唱來熱情充沛，正是年輕人的精神可貴之處。」 ― 李歐梵《明報》

經過近半世紀努力不懈追求卓越，香港中文大學合唱團已經成為香港其中一隊最具實力的大學合唱團。植根香港，放眼國際，在香港舞台耕耘之外，多年來已踏遍華南地區以至多個東南亞國家。中大合唱團一直致力以高水準的演出，充滿創意的節目，向普羅大眾推廣合唱藝術。中大合唱團於 1972 年由一班中大學生自發成立，早期由學生擔任指揮。九十年代起設立固定音樂總監兼指揮一職，歷任總監有伍德榮、葉長盛及現任朱振威。現在中大合唱團每年演出活動已擴展至包括周年公演、免費校園音樂會、海外交流演出、聖誕演出、指揮工作坊、公益外展演出不等。

合唱團曾推出多個廣受歡迎而內容多元化的主題節目，如以韋塔克（Eric Whitacre）、雅羅（Ola Gjeilo）、冉天豪、顧嘉煇、伍卓賢及伯恩斯坦的原創及改編作品專場音樂會，與爵士樂音樂家侯活麥格尼（Howard McCrary）合作之聖誕音樂會等，為本地合唱團開拓曲目發揮影響力，更藉著網絡將影響伸至全球 ― 2009 年以色列《新消息報》 (Yedioth Ahronoth ) 專題報道，中大合唱團的一段 YouTube 錄影於世界各地猶太人間流傳，引發巨大迴響。

多年來曾與中大合唱團合作的本地及海外藝人不計其數，近期例子有香港流行音樂大師顧嘉煇、女中音連皓忻、男中音林俊、敲擊樂演奏家邵俊傑、香港中樂團、香港電台弦樂四重奏、台灣指揮家杜黑、古育仲、吳尚倫、保加利亞指揮家帕羅薇琪、美國指揮家韓多普、艾力史達克、以及爵士樂大師侯活麥格尼等。自 1970 年代起，中大合唱團持續與中國內地及東南亞各地合唱團作音樂交流，曾到訪城市包括北京、上海、台北、台南、馬尼拉、曼谷、新加坡、新山等。近年合唱團多次應邀參與海外演出，如 2006 年澳門國際音樂節、2013 年暹羅愛樂樂團馬勒第八交響曲泰國首演、2015 年上海之春音樂節冼星海《黃河大合唱》莫斯科原版的世界首演、及 2019 台北國際合唱音樂節。

從成立之始，推動香港合唱創作就是中大合唱團的使命之一。合唱團不斷邀請香港作曲家如胡銘堯、蘇梓安、楊嘉輝、鄧樂妍、伍華晞、伍卓賢、以及台灣作曲家冉天豪譜寫新曲，2016 年更與演戲家族合作，委約多位作曲家改編粵語原創音樂劇選曲，為建立富香港色彩的合唱作品而努力。

2014 年 6 月，中大合唱團推出首張商業錄音專輯《春風吻上我的臉⸺冉天豪合唱作品選》，由現代音像發行。甫推出後反應熱烈，得到不少樂迷支持，更榮獲《IFPI 香港唱片銷量大獎 2014》全年「最暢銷古典、戲曲唱片」之一。而第二張專輯《唱自己的歌⸺香港粵語合唱曲選》已在 2019 年 8 月由中大合唱團出版，亦由此開始進軍數碼音樂發行，目前有合共四張專輯及六首單曲在各大網上音樂平台提供串流及下載。合唱團亦由 2019 年開始出版樂譜及書籍，至今已發行二十多首合唱作品樂譜，以及台灣學者查太元編著的《冼星海年鑑》。

為了打下更穩固的基礎，持續發展永不止息的藝術追求，2012 年 1 月合唱團以慈善團體有限公司形式成立「中大合唱協會」。透過藝術、管理、行政三部份的分工，讓源自中大、立足中大的中大合唱團，能夠在中大本科生、研究生及校友三方面的同心協力下，繼續翻過一座又一座的藝術高峰。

演出者簡介

CU Chorus is a wonderful youth choir with amazing abilities! Having worked with them and their conductor - my former student Leon Chu, I will keep forever my memories about the great spirit, sensitivity and beautiful music they can create! I am happy to know you, my dear friends! - Prof. Theodora Pavlovitch

CU Chorus were splendid in their collaboration with Siam Philharmonic in our complete Mahler Cycle. They sang like angels — just as the composer intended!

With relentless pursuit of excellence for nearly half a century, The Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus (CU Chorus) is one of the best local university choirs in Hong Kong, presenting performances not only for local audiences, but also for music lovers across China and Southeast Asia. CU Chorus is dedicated to promote the art of choral music with its high quality performances and innovative programmes.

Thai premiere of Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 by Siam Philharmonic Orchestra in 2013, the world première of the original Moscow version of Xian Xing-hai’s Yellow River Cantata in the 2015 Shanghai Spring International Music Festival, and the 2019 Taipei International Choral Festival.

CU Chorus was founded in 1972 by a group of CUHK students. In the early days, the role of conductor was taken up by students. Since the 1990s, the formal post of Music Director and Conductor has been established. The post was first taken up by Dennis Ng, followed by Yeh Cheung-shing from 2000 to 2005, and Leon Chu from 2006. CU Chorus expanded its range of performances in recent years including public concerts, free campus concerts, overseas exchange performances, Christmas caroling, conducting workshops and charity outreach performances. CU Chorus presented a number of popular programmes with diverse themes, such as a number of composer-portrait concerts featuring original choral works and arrangements by Eric Whitacre, Ola Gjeilo, Jan Tien-hao, Joseph Koo, Ng Cheuk-yin and Leonard Bernstein, and Christmas concerts with the American jazz legend Howard McCrary, making an influence in expanding choral repertoire in local music scene. CU Chorus’ performances also made an impact through the internet — a YouTube video of CU Chorus received coverage in the Israeli newspaper, Yedioth Ahronoth , for its wide circulation and resonance in Jewish communities worldwide. Over the years, CU Chorus has collaborated with numerous local and overseas artists, including Cantopop iconic figure Joseph Koo, mezzo-soprano Carol Lin, baritone Albert Lim, percussionist Louis Siu, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra, the RTHK Quartet, Taiwanese conductors Dirk DuHei, Johnny Ku and Shanglun Wu, Bulgarian choral conductor Theodora Pavlovitch, American conductors Paul Hondorp and Eric Stark, and American jazz musician Howard McCrary. Since the 1970s, CU Chorus has constantly engaged in exchange activities with choirs in mainland China and Southeast Asia, visiting cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Tainan, Manila, Bangkok, Singapore and Johor Bahru. In recent years, CU Chorus was invited to various guest performances in overseas music festivals, including the 20th Macau International Music Festival in 2006, the

CU Chorus released its first commercial album Spring Breeze Kisses My Face — The Choral Music of Jan Tien-hao on The Modern Audio label in June 2014, which was well-received by music lovers, and awarded as one of the Best Sales Releases (Classical and Operatic Works Recording) in the IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Award 2014. The second album Sing Our Own Song — Selected Hong Kong Choral Works in Cantonese was released by CU ChorusChorus in August 2019, since then CU Chorus has been actively releasing their recordings on digital music platforms for streaming and download, with 4 digital albums and 6 singles currently available. In 2019, CU Chorus launched their own publications, including sheet music of over 20 choral compositions, and A Chronology of the Life of Sin Sing-hoi (Xian Xing-hai) by Taiwanese scholar Zha Tai-yuan. To lay a better foundation for its never-ending artistic pursuit, CU Chorus registered charitable organisation status with CU Chorus Association (a limited-liability company) in January 2012. The new governing body, with its finer division of labour in artistic, management and administrative aspects, better facilitates the collaboration of CUHK undergraduates, postgraduates and alumni in their efforts to raise CU Chorus – a group coming from and based in CUHK – to ever-higher artistic heights.

演出者簡介 PERFORMER'S BIOGRAPHY

朱振威 Leon Chu

音樂總監兼指揮 Music Director & Conductor 朱振威出生於香港一個草根家庭，在學時期未有接受正統音樂訓練，直至初中時無意中接觸到馬勒交響曲並為之著迷，始立志學習音樂。他的音樂訓練始於高中音樂科中央訓練計劃，同時跟隨蔡立德學習敲擊樂。因緣際會考入香港中文大學現代語言及文化系後仍積極參與多個合唱團及樂團，亦隨林俊學習聲樂。後隨 Kåre Hanken、 Theodora Pavlovitch 及 Gábor Hollerung 等歐洲名家研習合唱指揮。2014 年，朱氏在澳門聖若瑟大學考獲合唱指揮碩士，期間受業於 Colin Mawby、Nancy Telfer 及 Pedro Monteiro。近年曾隨支韻怡深造聲樂。 2006 年，朱氏獲邀出任香港中文大學合唱團音樂總監，除活躍於香港舞台，亦帶領合唱團出訪國內、台灣、馬來西亞、泰國等地。2014 年他與合唱團灌錄首張專輯《春風吻上我的臉⸺冉天豪合唱作品選》，獲該年度《IFPI 香港唱片銷售大獎》全年「最暢銷古典、戲曲唱片」殊榮，2019 與合唱團灌錄第二張專輯《唱自己的歌⸺香港粵語合唱曲選》也大受好評。中大合唱團外，朱氏亦為香港大學利銘澤堂合唱團教練及香港中文大學新亞合唱團指揮。身為富經驗的合唱指導，近年數度與閻惠昌及香港中樂團合作，也曾到曼谷為暹羅愛樂樂團的馬勒第二交響曲擔任客席合唱指導。

朱氏自大學時代起為《Hi-Fi 音響》雜誌撰寫唱片評論。他的評論文章亦見於《信報財經新聞》、《香港經濟日報》、《明報》、《謬斯客》、《上海藝術家》等報刊，也有為香港管弦樂團、香港中樂團、飛躍演奏等機構撰寫及翻譯場刊，也曾任香港電台第四台《藝壇快訊》客席主持。近年主力於博客 leonchu.net 發表文章，以及為立場新聞、輔仁媒體及國際演藝評論家協會（香港分會）等網站供稿，題材包括各式評論、音樂專題，近年更涉足香港音樂掌故。音樂以外，朱氏於 2010 年聯同朱耀偉及陳英凱合著《文化研究 60 詞》一書。朱氏自 2017 年起為香港藝術發展局音樂界別藝術顧問。

Born in a grassroot family, Leon Chu did not receive any formal music training during his teens. His first encounter with Mahler’s Symphonies ignited his interest in music, leading him to pursue his musical studies, starting with the Centralised Scheme of Music Training for Senior Secondary Students, and percussion studies with Choy Lap-tak. Upon his admission to the Modern Languages and Intercultural Studies in the Chinese University of Hong Kong, he participated in a number of choruses and orchestras, and studied vocal under Albert Lim. He later studied choral conducting under renowned European masters including Kåre Hanken, Theodora Pavlovitch, and Gábor Hollerung. In 2014, Chu attained the Master degree of Choral Conducting from the University of Saint Joseph, Macau, under the tutelage of Colin Mawby, Nancy Telfer and Pedro Monteiro. He furthered his vocal studies under Myra Chih in recent years. In 2006, Leon Chu took up the position as the Music Director of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Chorus (CU Chorus). Under his direction, the chorus gave many performances from local to overseas concert stages, including mainland China, Taiwan, Malaysia and Thailand. He conducted CU Chorus in their first commercial recording, Spring Breeze Kisses My Face — The Choral Music of Jan Tien-hao , which was soon awarded as one of the Best Sales Releases (Classical and Operatic Works Recording) in the IFPI Hong Kong Top Sales Music Award 2014. His second album with CU Chorus in 2019, Sing Our Own Song — Selected Hong Kong Choral Works in Cantonese , is also widely acclaimed. Apart from CU Chorus, he is the Coach of RC Choir, R.C. Lee Hall, The University of Hong Kong, and Conductor of New Asia Chorus, CUHK. As an experienced chorus master, Chu collaborated with Yan Huichang and Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra on their symphonic choral concerts, and was invited by Siam Philharmonic as the guest chorus master in their performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2, “Resurrection” .

Chu started contributing CD reviews to HiFi Review magazine from his university years. His review writings are published on Chinese newspapers and magazines including Hong Kong Economic Journal , Hong Kong Economic Times , Ming Pao Daily , MUZIK of Taiwan, and Shanghai Artists . He also annotated and translated the house programmes for Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra and Premiere Performances of Hong Kong, and was invited as guest host for Arts News programme on RTHK Radio 4. His recent writings are uploaded on his blog leonchu.net, and contributed to online sites such as Stand News , VJMedia and International Association of Theatre Critics (Hong Kong), covering various topics including critiques, topics on music and even anecdotes about Hong Kong music history. Apart from music, he is the co-author of the book 60 Keywords in Cultural Studies with Stephen Chu Yiu-Wai and Anthony Chan. Since 2017, Leon Chu is an Arts Advisor (Music sector) of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
