音樂總監的話 「我的安魂曲不為甚麼事情而寫，僅僅是為了自娛，如果我可以這樣說的話。」 ——佛瑞 從追思彌撒上演唱的實用功能到後來成為作曲家思考死亡的藝術宣言，「安魂 曲」的意義及形式一直隨時代轉變。當白遼士、威爾第不惜以千軍萬馬描繪死亡 的怖慄，另一方面卻有布拉姆斯以安撫在世者為目的而寫下《德語安魂曲》，他 甚至換掉所有經文以達至他的目的。從作品展現的個性看來，佛瑞的《安魂曲》 可算是繼承了布拉姆斯對「安魂曲」的轉向。 有理由相信佛瑞確受布拉姆斯影響，儘管 1888 年初版首演的時候（當時題為《一 首小安魂曲》），樂曲只有〈進堂詠與垂憐經〉、〈歡呼頌〉、〈仁慈主耶 穌〉、〈羔羊頌〉與〈願天使領你進入天國〉五個樂章，隨後佛瑞還是擴寫了 〈獻禮經〉及改編了 1877 年舊作《主，救我於永死》並加插其中，讓 1893 年完 稿的第二版變成一部有七樂章篇幅，為樂團、合唱團、女高音及男中音而寫的作 品，跟《德語安魂曲》有著微妙的相似。而佛瑞將男中音獨唱放在第二、第六樂 章，將女高音獨唱放在第四樂章，讓全曲的人聲編排有著拱橋式的結構，這樣的 巧思又帶點巴赫的味道。 「有人說我的《安魂曲》沒有表達對死亡的恐懼，甚至有人形容為『死亡的搖 籃曲』。但這確是我如何看待死亡：那是愉快的救贖，邁向天國的抱負，而不 是痛苦的經歷...... 也許在教會擔任風琴師多年且曾在無數追思彌撒上演奏， 令我創作《安魂曲》時本能地逃避所謂『正確』與『恰當』！我打從心底裡知 道，我想寫得與別不同。」 ——佛瑞 佛瑞《安魂曲》是廣受合唱團歡迎的作品，尤其 1893 版本樂隊編制小，也有不少 管風琴改編版本，易於搬演；音樂平易近人且能感動人心，當中〈仁慈的耶穌〉 與〈主，救我於永死〉可算是聲樂金曲。他將大部份與死亡可怕之處相關的經文 棄用，只著眼在「永恆的安息」意象上發揮——有趣的是，慰藉無數心靈的〈仁 慈的耶穌〉，歌詞卻是節錄自〈震怒之日〉的最後一段。

記得當年在恩師 Gábor Hollerung 的大師班上學習莫扎特《安魂曲》，他這樣說 道：「安魂曲是甚麼？就是有人死掉了，而我們無法改變。」在原來的宗教意義 裡，我們沒有辦法令人起死回生，只能為他們祈求「永恆的安息」；如果以慰藉 在世者的角度看待，也是因為我們被逼接受「人死不能復生」這殘酷現實，才需 要作曲家撫慰我們，以享安寧。 不論是為死者而唱還是為在世者而唱，安魂曲的功用，就是教我們能直視「那人 已從我們的生命中消失」這一個無法改變的事實，推而廣之，也可以是面對那些 令我們恨不得時光倒流的遺憾。其實，任何人都有需要「安魂曲」撫慰心靈的時 刻。佛瑞最令我感動的安排是選擇了〈願天使領你進入天國〉為全曲劃下句號。 也許佛瑞只想重申教義提醒我們死亡只是重返天家的必經之路，但對我而言，當 中的意義在於既然你沒能改變「那人已從我們的生命中消失」的過去，與其糾結 自憐，倒不如選擇達成在天堂重聚的未來。 放下（不是遺忘）已成過去的遺憾，是因為我們仍需咬緊牙關走完餘下的生命。 到了那一天，所有努力過的人們，包括我們和我們所失去的人，都能夠得到慈悲 的寬恕，以純潔之身在天堂裡重逢。 我們必須想像天堂是存在的。

Message from Music Director “My Requiem wasn't written for anything – for pleasure, if I may call it that!”

— Gabriel Fauré The Requiem as a musical genre has been evolving over time, from its musical function in the Mass for the dead, to an artistic expression by composers contemplating on death. When Berlioz and Verdi used gigantic forces to portray the horrors of death in their music, Brahms wrote Ein deutsches Requiem aiming to console the living ones, and even replaced the Latin Ordinary with German Biblical texts for the entire work. In Fauré's Requiem, he followed Brahms' footsteps to approach the Requiem genre.

Indeed Fauré left traces on Brahms' influences in his work — Though the work's first version in 1888 (which Fauré called it "un petit Requiem") only has five movements (Introït et Kyrie, Sanctus, Pie Jesu, Agnus Dei and In Paradisum), he soon expanded it by adding a newly-composed Offertoire, and his 1877 work Libera me, forming a seven-movement version in 1893 for soprano and baritone soli, chorus and orchestra, which structurally resemble with Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem. Fauré even placed all soli passages in even-numbered movements (Baritone in movements II, VI, Soprano in IV), making an arch-like structure which suggests Bach's musical ideas.

“It has been said that my Requiem does not express the fear of death and someone has called it a lullaby of death. But it is thus that I see death: as a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience.… As to my Requiem, perhaps I have also instinctively sought to escape from what is thought right and proper, after all the years of accompanying burial services on the organ! I know it all by heart. I wanted to write something different.” — Gabriel Fauré Fauré's Requiem has long been popular in the choral repertoire, especially the 1893 version which requires only modest performing force. There are also a number of arrangements for organ, which the audience will experience one of them in tonight's live stream performance. The music has a calm and expressive character, which simply touches the listener's heart, especially the ever popular vocal movements Pie Jesu and Libera me. Fauré largely dispensed with the texts about the horrors of death, and only elaborated on the vision of 'eternal rest'.

Interestingly, the text of Pie Jesu is actually taken from the last section of Dies irae.

Some time ago, GĂĄbor Hollerung gave a conducting masterclass on Mozart's Requiem, in which he said, 'What is Requiem? It's about someone who died, and we cannot change that.' In its original religious meaning, as one cannot bring the dead back to life, we can only wish the deceased ones to 'rest eternally'. In this difficult process of acceptance, one often looks for possible ways of consolation.

Here, music would be a way to comfort our minds.

No matter one sings for the dead or for the living, Requiem offers a way to face the irreversible fact that 'someone already left us', and even provides some introspective moments for the listeners to reflect on one's utmost remorse. FaurĂŠ concludes his Requiem with In paradisum, a reminder on how the preaching told us where our souls will meet at the end. But to myself, given we cannot change the past fact that 'someone already left us', and drive oneselves into deep grieves, we better look forward to the days where we will reunite in heaven.

Laying down the past sorrows (but not to forget) is vital for us to move on with our lives. One day, people who have lived their lives through, including ourselves and those we now lost, will be kindly forgiven, and reunite in heaven.

And one must imagine, heaven does exist.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine: Et lux perpetua luceat eis.

I am made to tremble, and to fear, When destruction shall come, And also your coming wrath.

O that day, that day of wrath, Of calamity and misery, The great and exceedingly bitter day.

Grant eternal rest to them, Lord, and let perpetual light shine on them.

In Paradisum 願天使領你進入天國 In Paradisum deducant te Angeli; In tuo adventu Suscipiant te martyres, Et perducant te In civitatem sanctam Jerusalem, Chorus Angelorum te suscipiat, Et cum Lazaro quondam paupere Aeternam habeas requiem.

May angels lead you into Paradise.

At your coming May martyrs receive you, And may they lead you Into the Holy City, Jerusalem.

May the chorus of angels receive you, And with Lazarus, who once was a pauper, May you have eternal rest.
