音乐咖啡厅:A Spaceman Came Travelling-Gregorian
横扫全欧古典跨界美声,璀璨、圣洁、温馨的银白色冬季,福泽再度如雪花般缤纷降临 。几位传统教堂的圣歌吟唱者成为一场音乐革命的先驱!在“格利高理教皇合唱团”出现之前,谁都没想到从西元七世纪传下的格利高理圣歌咏唱,竟能超越时空囿限溶入二十甚至廿一世纪的音乐铸模中,两相结合成让人难以置信的美丽、脱俗、完美全新视听享受。幕后推手,就是“谜”乐团主创,同时创作出“A Time To Say Goodbye”这首名曲,並为莎拉·布莱曼、波伽利等知名歌手制作过专辑的名制作人Frank Peterson。“格利高理教皇合唱团”带着神秘又清灵的气息吹拂过充斥着商业公式化作品的流行乐坛,披覆以流行、Ambient甚或摇滚的外衣,交汇成一种浓郁的能量,在古老教堂里颂唱的人声与高科技的现代化编曲和录音技术水乳交融成他们的首首杰作。
这首歌应该算是Gregorian今年推出的精选专辑中以前的一首歌曲了,歌曲深远悠扬,让人一听到旋律便被音符缭绕心间,他们的和声,他们的神秘,他们的脱俗,洗洁人们的心灵。好似空幻,但却又如此真实的圣洁!
英文歌词:
A Spaceman Came Travelling-Gregorian
A spaceman came travelling on his ship from afar,
'twas light years of time since his mission did start,
And over a village he halted his craft,
And it hung in the sky like a star,
just like a star...
He followed a light and came down to a shed,
Where a mother and a child were lying there on a bed,
A bright light of silver shone round his head,
And he had the face of an angel,
and they were afraid...
Then the stranger spoke,
he said 'Do not fear,
I come from a planet a long way from here,
And I bring a message for mankind to hear',
And suddenly the sweetest music filled the air...
And it went Ah...
Ah...
Ah......
Peace and goodwill 1 to all men,
and love for the child...
Ah......
Ah...
Ah......
Ah...
This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky,
which shone all round...
And just before dawn at the paling of the sky,
The stranger returned and said 'Now I must fly,
When two thousand years of your time has gone by,
This song will begin once again,
to a baby's cry...'
Ah...
Ah......
This song will begin once again
to a baby's cry...
Ah......
Ah...
Ah......
Peace and goodwill to all men
and love for the child...
And it went Ah...
