上海彩虹室内合唱团 (Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Singers) - 稼轩长短句 - 现场版专辑

‘Jia Xuan Ci ( Lyrical poetry of the Song dynasty by Qiji Xin )’ is an artistic song cycle album by Rainbow Chamber Singers (RCS). One pioneering characteristic of the album is that all songs in it are sung in archaic Chinese language of the Song dynasty, which helps portray the four significant moments of the poet’s life.
From the perspective of Chengzhi Jin, the songwriter of the album, Qiji Xin, among all poets of the Song dynasty, is the one who always harbors a young and impartial mentality that never becomes pedantic or bigoted. From his works, every youngster can trace the feelings of his or her own.
In the Song dynasty, Ci was performed in the form of singing. In order to revitalize its linguistic charm and stay faithful to its original version, Chengzhi Jin has invited Dr. Shi Yan, a member of RCS with a background of the ancient Chinese language, to help establish a set of pronunciation standards, in the process of orchestrating music in accordance with the emotional ambience created by Qiji Xin in his works.
The interweavement of modernity and antiquity helps interpret the lyrics in a more vivid light, thus impressing the audience with the notion that a culture won’t fade as time flows by.
