樂曲介紹 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 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 擇了三首當年曾採用的歌曲，因為這些都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！羅西尼與比才的歌劇合唱寫法一直深得我喜愛，改編兒歌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 發。 《狐狸先生幾點鐘？》（CUCCS0022）、《何家小雞何家猜》（CUCCS0011）、《木頭公仔唔准笑》三首 可順序組合為《 語童謠三首》無間斷接續演唱，而各首也可獨立演唱，全部由中大合唱協會出版。 韋然（作曲、作詞） 香港知名民間音樂工作者、有「香港兒歌之父」之雅號，作品多達二千五百多首，知名作品有 語兒歌《 轉》、《何家小雞何家猜》、《小明上廣州》、《十二隻恐龍去野餐》; 另類歌謠《我向你求婚》、《搖搖擺 擺》、《廟街》; 城市民歌《足印》、《南丫島的故事》、《淺水灣的早晨》; 英語童謠《Apple Round, Apple Red》、《Boy & girl》、《Donkey Donkey》; 語古詩詞歌曲《床前明月光》、《江雪》等等。 著有澳門 小城故事系列繪本小說《戀愛巷》、《小孩與狗》; 校本音樂教材《廣東歌謠選》、《快樂歌謠齊齊唱》; 飲食書 《黃花紅酒醉龍華》、《泰昌蛋撻》; 漫畫集《小明探阿爺》等等。 Frankie Ho（編曲） 香港演藝學院音樂學院及戲劇學院畢業生，師隨羅永暉（作曲）及陳敢權（導演）。現為香港作曲家及作詞家協 會會員。 Frankie 曾為多齣音樂劇擔任作曲、編曲及音樂總監，包括香港演藝學院的《少女夢》；香港話劇團 的《香港一定得》、《時間列車 00：00》、《奇幻聖誕夜》及《嗚啦啦啦啦你的歌》；城市大學的《城市傳 奇》；劇場空間的《戀上你的歌》；TNT Production 的《但願人長久》；劇場工作室的《流浪在彩色街頭》； 異人實現劇場的《異型金剛》；中英劇團的《搶奪芳心喜自由》及《戇大人》；劇場工作室及異人實現劇場聯合 製作的《四千金》；Theatre Noir 的《動物農莊》；團劇團的《秋城故事》、《Cabaret 2011》及《港式愛 擁》；林澤群實現劇場的《DIVA 先生的華麗戲劇教室》及《One Night in Falsettoland in Concert》；香港 兒童音樂劇團的《飛行棋》；7A班戲劇組的《老娘企硬》；糊塗戲班的《螢火蟲》；Cabarets - 《Listen》、 《W.A.R.》、《R.A.W.》及《Women, Love, and Life》。 *樂曲介紹可在音樂會簡介及場刊上自由轉載。 *此曲需以 語演唱。本樂譜之 語注音採用香港語言學會 https://www.lshk.org/jyutping

Programme Note 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! The writing of choral scenes in operas by Rossini and Bizet are of my big favour, which I adapt in my arrangement of this nursery rhyme. 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.

The three arrangements Mr Fox, What Time Is It Now? (CUCCS0022), Whose Little Rooster? Whose? Guess!

(CUCCS0011) and Don’t Laugh! Wooden Doll! form a choral sequence as Three Cantonese Nursery Rhymes, which should be performed without any pause between the pieces. They can be performed individually or as a cycle. All published by CU Chorus Association.

歌詞

Lyrics

唔准郁！ 唔准笑！ 唔准呱呱叫！

Do not move! Do not laugh!

Do not make any noise!

小花貓今早上堂 不聽書班裡成日笑 「罰你企！」 先生說： 「懲罰你皆因你太愛笑！」 唔准郁 唔准笑 唔准呱呱叫

Early morning Kitty goes to school, laughs and plays around in the class "Time out now!"

The teacher says “I must give you a lesson! You laugh too much!"

Do not move, do not laugh, do not make any noise

罰你做個木頭公仔 唔准郁 唔准笑

Time out and be a wooden doll, Do not move, do not laugh!

小汪汪今早旅行 山邊溪水邊胡亂跳 「罰你企！」 爸爸說： 「懲罰你皆因你太百厭！」 唔准郁 唔准笑 唔准呱呱叫

Early morning doggie goes outing, up and down running here and there “Time out now” His father says “I must give you a lesson! You play too much!"

Do not move, do not laugh, do not make any noise

罰你做個木頭公仔 唔准郁 唔准笑

Time out and be a wooden doll, Do not move, do not laugh!

小黑豬今早買鞋 窗飾邊一再嘈又叫 「罰你企！」 媽媽說： 「懲罰你皆因你太曳了！」 唔准郁 唔准笑 唔准呱呱叫

Early morning piggie goes shopping, sing and dance going in and out “Time out now” Her mother says “I must give you a lesson! It’s just too much!"

Do not move, do not laugh, do not make any noise
