YK Pao School Ralph Allwood Choral Course 上海包玉刚实验学校 拉尔夫·奥伍德合唱班

Introduction 简介

YK Pao School is delighted to host the first Ralph Allwood Choral Course in China, under the direction of the renowned choral musician and Director of Eton Choral Courses, Dr Ralph Allwood. As one of the leading Choir Directors in the UK, Ralph Allwood had trained many of the leading choristers in the UK.

包玉刚实验学校有幸主办拉尔夫·奥伍德 合唱班在中国的首期课程，该课程将由伊 顿公学合唱班创办人拉尔夫·奥伍德博士 和另一位有声望的合唱音乐家共同执教。 作为英国主要合唱团总监中的一员，拉尔 夫·奥伍德先生在英国已经培训了很多合 唱团主唱歌手。

Ralph Allwood, MBE, former Director of Music at Eton College and founder of the Eton Choral Courses, the Junior Choral Courses and the Rodolfus Choir, together with Martyn Ford, Head of Performing Arts at Lambrook School in Berkshire, will be leading a Choral Course at YK Pao School.

The culmination of the course is the final concert, which will combine a major work from the choral repertoire and lighter music. During the week the young people will work hard at a range of music, both with the sectional tutors and as a whole group.

This year students will work on and perform a major choral work, such as Fauré Requiem, songs from West Side Story and an array of other fun music. Free time is equally important and a wide range of activities is organised every afternoon, with a strong emphasis on fun. The Ralph Allwood Choral Course is open to all, irrespective of school. The course will be held at the Changning campus of YK Pao School under the musical direction of Ralph Allwood and Martyn Ford.

The Ralph Allwood Choral Course offers unique opportunities to children aged 8 -15 to experience choral singing at a very high level. Ralph Allwood will be bringing seven experienced members of staff from the English Choral scene. The course staff are all singers, and the young people are joined by altos, tenors and basses to enable them to sing some of the great choral repertoire alongside good music written for their higher voices. The proof of the success of the courses held so far in the United Kingdom lies in the very high proportion of participants who have returned year after year, many of them bringing with them younger brothers and sisters. 拉尔夫·奥伍德先生将与马丁·福德先生一起在包玉刚实 验学校带队执教拉尔夫·奥伍德合唱班。马丁·福德先生 现任英国伯克郡Lambrook学校的表演艺术总监。拉尔夫· 奥伍德先生是英帝国勋章获得者，伊顿公学前音乐总监， 曾创办伊顿公学合唱团、Rodolfus合唱团以及少年合唱班。 拉尔夫·奥伍德合唱班为8到15岁的孩子提供绝佳的机会， 可以学习顶尖水平的合唱。拉尔夫·奥伍德先生将带领7位 富有经验的来自英国合唱班的课程教师。课程教师均为歌 唱者，同时加入的年轻学员中有女低音、男高音和低音歌 唱者，使合唱班能够演唱一些适合高音域的著名合唱 曲目。大部分参与者不仅自己每年持续参加，还会带着弟 弟妹妹一起报名申请。因此，拉尔夫·奥伍德合唱班迄今 为止在英国取得了巨大的成功。

Please note – the ability to sight read is not an entry requirement – that’s one of the things that we teach during the course! 合唱班最激动人心的部分是最后的汇报演出，孩子们将表 演轻音乐曲目，以及排练的名曲中的某一首曲子。在合唱 班期间，孩子们将努力排练一系列合唱曲目，既有音域 指导，也有整体指导。今年学生们将练习并演唱大型合唱 作品，如《安魂曲》，以及电影《西区故事》中的曲目和其 他有意思的曲目。自由活动时间也很重要，所以每天下午 都会组织各种有趣的活动。合唱班面向所有符合年龄条件 的歌唱者，不考虑报名者的学校背景。这个课程都将包玉 刚实验学校长宁校区举行，由拉尔夫·奥伍德先生和 马丁·福德先生任音乐总监。 请注意：报名者不要求识读五线谱，这会是我们授课内容 的一部分。

来自音乐总监拉尔夫·奥伍德先生的信

A note from Director, Ralph Allwood, MBE “Since I founded the courses in 1980 there have been 140 week long courses, nowDate: known asXXX the Eton Choral Courses and the Junior Choral Courses. But I am particularly excited about this one, because it is the first to be exported from the UK. The emphasis is on first class music sung to the highest standard. It is my experience this is what produces the most fulfilled enjoyment in the participants, and this is why so many come back time after time. It opens their minds to possibilities unrealised before, they make wonderful new friends and they love working hard at such good music.

For our first course in Shanghai, Martyn Ford and I have chosen some beautiful, funny and exciting secular pieces.

Hard musical work is interspersed with games and sports to make a complete week of enjoyment, discovery and fulfilment.”

– Ralph Allwood, MBE

“1980年我开始创办合唱班，迄今为止已开设了140周的 课程，现在主要有伊顿公学合唱团和少年合唱班两个项 目。我个人更青睐少年合唱班，因为这是第一个在英国 之外发展的合唱班，重点在于培养孩子们用最高水准演 唱一流的音乐作品。孩子们在这里获得了最高成就感的 快乐，这也正是许多参与者每年都再回来报名的原因。 这样的经历让他们实现了曾经不可能实现的思维开拓， 交到了很棒的新朋友，他们也都很愿意努力练习，演唱 好的作品。这次是我们第一次将合唱班开设在上海， 马丁和我选择了《安魂曲》和其他一些美妙而且有趣的 不朽名作。严格排练的同时，还会有游戏和运动项目， 让我们的活动充满探索与发现的乐趣，让孩子们在欢笑 中成长。” —英帝国勋章获得者，拉尔夫·奥伍德
