Tre Voci

Tre Voci or “Three Voices” is the combined choirs’ first concert together in three years. Tonight’s programme bursts with images of sunrise, springtime and joyous praise, ringing in this celebration of new beginnings together. Amidst these common themes, we find a range of genres spanning well-known choral masterworks from the classical tradition, to new commissions from Singaporean composers Americ Goh and Kenneth Tay. This culminates in a final piece performed as a full choral family, allowing us to hear all three voices, tre voci, together.

Our programme opens with After the Opera by Americ Goh (b. 1982). Goh is a composer and composition lecturer at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA). His experience singing in and conducting choirs in both Singapore and Austria makes him particularly skilled at writing for the voice.

“Many times, we are in a situation whereby all we can do is either observe in solitary or partake in synchrony. Whether it is a natural phenomenon or the outlook of the societal mass, we question and most often, attribute it to the Zeitgeist. Tempting to pass a value judgement, we savour the process—the experiencing. Leave it as a fantasy. Take the time machine— an act or a scene? Is it satirical or an honest opinion? Eventually, we come full circle to understand ourselves deeper.”

American composer Randall Thompson (1899–1984) is most known for his choral music, and this Alleluia is one of his most famous works. Its calming and meditative opening is unusual for “hallelujah” settings, which are typically more rousing. The work was composed in the midst of World War II, which may explain this more sombre and comforting approach. Gradually however, this calm gives way to tension, reaching a moment of wild praise before quickly regaining the composure from the opening.

O süßer Mai (“Oh sweet May”) is the third of a six-set choral collection by Johannes Brahms (1833–1897). The poetry by Karl Friedrich Henkell (1864–1929) describes the colour and beauty of springtime in May, often praised as a month of sweetness and love. Yet, amidst this splendour there is a tinge of sadness:

I see neither your green garments, Nor your colourfully-blossoming splendour, Nor your blue skies. To the earth I gaze.

The piece concludes with a gentle ascent heavenward led by the upper voices.

Quem vidistis pastores dicite is the second of Francis Poulenc’s (1899–1963) four Christmas motets. Poulenc was a largely self-taught composer, capable of writing extremely intuitive and memorable melodies.

The text urges, “What did you see, shepherds, tell us!” In response, the shepherds tell the good news of Jesus’s birth. Closed-mouth humming of the altos provide a sense of mystery. This combined with detached notes in the remaining voices deliver an overall feel of hushed excitement.

Kenneth Tay (b. 1992) is a Singaporean composer currently completing his PhD in Composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow. He began his music training at age 7 as a pianist, but found the experience somewhat lonely and was later drawn to the joys of choral singing. Can There Be Any Day But This? is his take on George Herbert’s (1591–1633) poem, Easter

“This composition is my reflection on taking in a special moment in a garden, sometimes wishing for time to slow down for that juncture to be enjoyed for just that bit longer. In the poem, the narrator meets his beloved, decorating her path with flowers and boughs. He compares her beauty with that of the rising sun, and emphasises that the only day that matters is the present day spent together. Though the flowers wither away, his heart remains true.”

Ave verum corpus is a popular Catholic text for choral music, with other notable settings including those of Mozart and William Byrd. Poulenc’s version is striking and dramatic, filled with flowing beautiful phrases. It begins with a single soprano line, which is echoed in each voice part as the music builds. This style of opening is reminiscent of Palestrina (1525–1594), the Italian master of counterpoint and early choral music.

French composer Maurice Ravel’s (1875–1937) Trois chansons (“Three songs”) were written in response to World War I. Ravel deeply wished to serve his country, and wrote the songs as he waited to be drafted into the army. The texts were written by the composer himself, and are filled with dark humour and allegory. The first song tells the fairytale-like story of a girl Nicolette, who resists the temptations of a wolf and a handsome page, only to fall for an ugly old man offering her money. The music recalls 16th-century French chansons, which feature abrupt mood and character changes.

The second song describes Trois beaux oiseaux du Paradis (“Three beautiful birds of paradise”) the colours of France’s flag: blue, white, and red. The phrase, “my beloved, he is at the war” repeats throughout the piece like a worry at the back of one’s mind. Heartbreakingly tragic, the person learns from these birds that her beloved is dead.

John David (b. 1946) is a Welsh producer and rock musician, most notable as bassist for Dave Edmunds’ band The Raiders. The hymn-like pop song You Are The New Day was released in 1978 on his band Airwaves’s album, New Day. It was an unaccompanied vocal track with multiple recordings of the same singers layered over one another (multitrack) to create a thick texture. A choral adaptation of it thus seems natural, and in 1980 this arrangement was made by Peter Knight for The King’s Singers. It begins with the refrain instead of the start of the original song, emphasising the hope that each new day brings.

Ko Matsushita (b. 1962) is a conductor and composer from Tokyo, Japan. He is profoundly involved in choral music, not only directing thirteen choirs but also holding numerous leadership positions in international choral organisations. This intimate acquaintance with choral sounds is evident in the colourful Dona nobis pacem. Energetic leaps open the piece, and parts bound over each other in a canon before meeting together. The piece concludes in a triumphant call for peace.

Ave Regina is the last of a set of six Marian hymns (i.e. Catholic hymns for the Virgin Mary) by German composer Joseph Rheinberger (1839–1901). He is largely remembered for his organ works, though this instrument’s association with the church also results in his breadth of vocal sacred music. Extensive melodic lines characterise the work, bringing to mind the celestial and everlasting.

Lux was commissioned by the Singapore Symphony Children’s Choir in 2019. Composer Darius Lim (b. 1986) was inspired by a trip to South Africa, and this piece is his meditation on light and the ways it can uncover beauty and hope. Harmonies shift and reveal colours like light refracting through glass. Like the Matsushita, the piece ends in a brilliant statement, “Dona nobis pacem” or “grant us peace”.

The Gloria Kajoniensis is a Gloria in three movements, with text taken from the Cantionale Catholicum. This was a Hungarian hymnbook first published in 1676 by Romanian monk János Kájoni, after which this piece is likely named. Composer Levente Gyöngyösi (b. 1975) is himself a Romanian-born Hungarian who has published almost 80 choral works, primarily in Latin. The first movement, Gloria in excelsior deo, launches us into a lively piece befitting its celebratory text. It features exhilarating combinations of syncopated rhythms, clapping, and hypnotic melodies making it exciting and undeniably fun.

The Chichester Psalms is a choral work based on texts from the Biblical book of Psalms in original Hebrew. Tonight, the combined choir will perform the first of its three movements. Composed by Leonard Bernstein (1918–1990), the composer behind the famous West Side Story and other dramatic works, this piece is not without his signature theatrical flair. It begins with a call:

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will rouse the dawn!

In response, an infectiously joyous song emerges from the bass section and spreads to an ecstatic tutti. This performance by all three choirs closes the evening by coming together to make a joyful noise.
