MUSIC COMPOSITION TRAINING PROGRAMME WITH CULTURAL EXPLORATION 香港作曲家聯會獲優質教育基金資助，於2014至2016年為本港中小學學生提供一個社區文化音樂創作培訓計劃，旨在讓中小學生在課餘之時，學習音樂創作的樂趣。每間學校將獲派一名作曲家駐校教授，及專業樂師視奏、排練及演奏學生作品，與音樂教師共同協作，締結美好音樂學習環境。 本計劃鼓勵學生探索身處社區的獨特元素，進行實地考察，從生活中吸取創作泉源，並把經驗轉化成具創意的音樂創作。學生將在生活的社區內尋找靈感，創作自己的作品，然後由專業演奏家在校內或公開音樂會中演出，展示個人成果。此外，計劃將製作一份教師手冊，為音樂老師提供創作音樂的參考。每位參與老師需在計劃結束後各自設計一節簡報會，為區內音樂老師介紹計劃內容和分享參與心得。 詳情請瀏覽以下網址：http://hkcgqef.wixsite.com/hkcg-qef-project

SOUND-IMAGination 2016: The Concert SOUND-IMAGination 2016: HONG KONG LANDSCAPE Concert 音樂會 Composers' Biography 作曲家簡介 Composers' Sharing 作曲家分享 香港，面積1,105.6平方公里，位處中國南海沿岸，號稱東方之珠的國際大都會，這是一般對香港的描述。然而，「香港」這方塊之地除了是地域分割的命名，同時是我們生活與回憶的場景，因為滲雜個人的經驗、情感與想像而讓每個人的「香港」都獨一無二。是次音樂會《聲影集：香港景觀》透過作曲家和攝影師就「香港」而創作的音樂與影像，帶領觀眾在城市無定向漫遊， 時而細察街角一隅，時而仰視遠眺，時而盤桓低俯，抹去地域性的指標，跨越地理的侷限，在音樂與影像中想像屬於你的「香港」。 當音樂遇上影像 《聲影集：香港景觀》是《聲影集》音樂會系列的第四場音樂會，將於1月14日（星期四）於香港兆基創意書院多媒體劇場舉行。《聲影集》系列一直以香港為題，委約本地作曲家創作音樂作品並提供相關的影像一併呈現，嘗試探索音樂與影像共同衍生，關於「香港」的想像空間。有別於之前的音樂會由作曲家提供影像，是次香港作曲家聯會首度與香港浸會大學的視覺藝術院合作，由八位視覺藝術系的畢業生及學生提供影像作品。 音樂會策劃人，香港作曲家林丰表示，是次音樂會先挑選和編排影像，再委約二十位本地作曲家以特定的影像為原點進行弦樂四重奏的創作，讓觀眾在視覺上能跟隨編排的敍事結構去經歷，獲得更完整的視覺體驗，而作曲家就影像所創作的音樂則提供另一種空間讓觀眾去感受其中的「香港」以及衍生更廣闊的想像。由於作曲家對影像的詮釋完全自由，讓人期待委約的音樂創作將為影像作品注入怎樣的靈魂。 在影像中漫步城市 是次音樂會取名「香港景觀」(Hong Kong Landscape)，一般讓人聯想到郊外的山水景色，而策劃人刻意就「景觀」這題目採用更廣義甚至抽象的定義，在音樂會的視覺投影中不會看到傳統的山水，反而會看到不同角度的城市景觀，而在城市的景觀中亦包含了人，你與我，策劃人巧妙地以四張圖像點題，把人這元素置入於景觀當中。林丰講解是次他與其他兩位策劃人香港作曲家鄧樂妍及香港浸會大學的視覺藝術院講師李泳麒以視覺藝術的策展概念出發，把影像編排成開首、四個短篇章節（I. Looking from the below 仰視; II. Wandering 漫遊；III. Hiding 藏；IV. Leaving 離開） 、結尾並連結成有意義的段落，成為一次漫步城市的視聽體驗。影像作品亦包含了一些日常生活中我們會遇見的景像，但一般我們都匆匆而過，沒有仔細注目或感受的時間。 在這場音樂會中，除了可以欣賞到二十首本地作曲家的委約創作及八位攝影師的作品，同時讓我們透過音樂與影像放慢節奏去凝視生活的細節，再次想像與感受我們的城市與生活。

《万華鏡》 Kaleidoscope 何晴煒 Ho Ching-wai 何晴煒現為香港演藝學院二年級生，師隨李嘉怡女士，主修作曲及電子音樂。何氏的創作包括室內樂、無伴奏合唱、流行歌曲及電影配樂。在學期間曾獲得香港特別行政區政府獎學金、香港演藝學院傑出獎學金以及鄭桂生先生紀念獎學金。 Ho Ching-wai is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Music degree at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, majoring in Music Composition & Electronic Music under the guidance of Ms. Li Kar-yee. Her previous works include chamber music, A cappella, pop songs and film scoring. She has been awarded the HKSAR Government Scholarship, the HKAPA Recruitment & Outstanding Scholarships and Mr. K. S. Cheng Memorial Scholarship throughout her study years. 這首作品靈感來自於令人懷念的兒時玩具「萬花筒」。透過不同音色的運用以及打擊樂器間的互動和交織，描繪出穿透進「萬花筒」的光，色彩繽紛的幾何對稱形狀、以及不斷轉動和變換的畫面。 This piece is inspired by the nostalgic childhood plaything, the kaleidoscope. The composition depicts the shimmering light passing through the kaleidoscope, the colourful geometric and symmetrical shapes, and the ever-changing views produced by the rotating mechanism through the use of various timbres and the rhythmic interplay of percussion instruments.

When we muster up the courage to face difficulties, the truth is that there are far more problems than solutions. The work aims to describe the world, which is immeasurable and unfathomable. Enigma is divided into 4 sections. The first section, ‘Mysterious’ uses various uneven rhythms and dissonant intervals to explore the unique sounds for percussion quartet, such as playing on the edge of the bar with mallet handles. The music outlines the impact of matters going against people’s wishes, bringing out that when faced with unresolved turmoil, people feel troubled and helpless. The second section, ‘Trap’ utilizes the alternation of percussion instruments, accompanied by scattered rhythms, depicts the perplexity when people facing with difficulties. ‘Lost’ uses free tempo (senza misura) and diverse timbral changes (for example, the sound of superball for bass drum, tam-tam, snare drum, and the sound of a coin to scraping a cymbal) to illustrate the helplessness of people in obstacles. The last section, ‘Energetic’, the unison aims to describe that people can face the hurdles in front of them with optimism. Back

Seemingly we are chasing a train endlessly that some maybe on board already but some haven’t. For the destination, things we will see in the terminal, time of arrival, we, however, know nothing about it. So, is it worth using lots of effort to chase it? Are we actually fulfilling people’s expectations? Or are we afraid of being chased by others? In a certain period of our life, we will know whether we take the right train or not. Ask yourself, what kind of thing means a lot to you? Is it wealth and power? Starting a family? Or is it pursuing a healthy physical and mental life? After all, it is our desire to decide where the terminal is and only yourself know about it. A Chasing Man uses a rapid and steady rhythm, depicting the scenario of people chasing a train and thus, reflecting our career. Back

《異質變異數 II》 Heteroskedasticity II 區顥曦 Au Ho-hei 區顥曦目前正在香港大學攻讀作曲哲學碩士學位，師從陳慶恩教授。區氏曾與多個藝團合作。最近，他的管弦合唱作品《聽！那午夜的鐘聲在迴蕩》於2024年3月由香港管弦樂團首演。 除作曲外，區氏亦活躍於指揮領域，演出自己的作品。他曾指揮香港大學管弦樂團首演他的《金氏變奏曲》，以及指揮聯校大學樂團演出西貝流士《芬蘭頌》。去年，他亦指揮香港管弦樂團圓號小組，首演他的《戀人們與星辰的愛》。 Anthony Au Ho-hei is currently an MPhil (Composition) candidate at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), under the tutelage of Professor Chan Hing-yan. Previously, Au attained a Bachelor of Finance with First Class Honours from HKU in 2022, consistently earning a place on the Dean’s Honours List each year. Au has worked closely with various art groups, including the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong New Music Ensemble, Hong Kong University Philharmonic Orchestra, and HKU MUSE. Au is also engaged in conducting, often premiering his own works. In 2019, he led the premiere of his Korean Variations with the Hong Kong University Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2021, he conducted the Joint University Orchestra to bring Sibelius’ Finlandia. In 2023, he conducted the horn section of the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra in the premiere of his chamber work, Lovers and the Love of the Stars. Recently, in March 2024, Au’s orchestral-choral composition Hark! The Midnight Bell Echoes was premiered by the Hong Kong Philharmonic Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic Chorus, and HKU Chamber Singers, under the baton of Chloé Dufresne, with soprano Kenix Tsang serving as the reciter. 此曲旨在呈現，藝術是現實中隨機過程的節錄和再現。世界是由成千上萬的隨機過程交織而成，而音樂和隨機過程亦驚人地相似。音樂與股票價格或經濟指標一樣，可以被分析為時間序列或縱橫資料。它們會隨著時間推移而演變，在宏觀層面上展現出隨機行為，同時亦受最近的表現影響。 藝術和音樂不是隨機過程，而是我們在隨機過程中捕捉、節錄並再現的部分。相比起建造，藝術創作可能更接近是個減除的過程，在大千世界中挑選有趣的時刻，並加以雕琢和演繹。 Heteroskedasticity II is a musical embodiment of the concept that art is a reinterpretation of real-world stochastic processes. Our world is a complex tapestry of stochastic processes, evident in our societies and individual lives. The unpredictability of daily life manifest as randomness; events often unfold by chance and without a predictable pattern. Every aspect of life, from the trajectory of our careers to our marital plans, is essentially a stochastic process. While we can observe and estimate broad trends and macro patterns, precise predictions elude us due to this inherent randomness. Music exhibits striking similarities to stochastic processes. A musical composition, akin to fluctuations in stock prices or changes in macroeconomic indicators, can be analyzed as a time series or panel data. These phenomena evolve over time, displaying stochastic behaviors at a macro level while maintaining a dependency on their recent past. Their visual representations also bear resemblances. Art, including music, can be viewed as our attempt to capture and reproduce parts of these stochastic processes that resonate with us. The genesis of art might better be understood as a process of subtraction, of selecting and reproducing moments of interest from the vast stochastic process of the existing world, rather than as an act of pure creation.
