Welcome
....to Nova Wind Orchestra’s Pre-Japan Tour Concert.
Music is an invisible bridge that transcends language, culture, and time, speaking directly to the human soul. Tonight, in the sacred and welcoming sanctuary of St. John's Cathedral, we present a carefully curated program designed to explore the core of human emotion: from innocence, love, and cinematic nostalgia, to profound remembrance, hope, and ultimate renewal. We are not merely performing for you tonight; we are inviting you to share this emotional journey with us.
歡迎來到 Nova Wind Orchestra 的日本巡演前哨音樂會。音樂是一道無形的橋樑，跨越語言、文化與時空，直接對人類的靈魂說話。今晚，我們在聖約翰座堂這個神聖而充滿包容力的空間裡，將透過一系列風格迥異卻同樣直擊心靈的管樂作品，探索人類最核心的情感：從純真、愛慕、追思，到最終的希望與重生。我們不只是在為大家演奏，更是邀請台下的每一位，與我們共同經歷一場跨越心靈的旅程。

Nova Wind Orchestra
Founded in 2025, Nova Wind Orchestra brings together talented young musicians from diverse backgrounds in Hong Kong to form a vibrant and dynamic professional wind ensemble.The name “Nova,” derived from Latin meaning “new,” symbolises a “New Star” in English. It reflects the radiant potential and youthful energy of our musicians, representing hope, growth, and brilliance as they shine on their musical journey. Comprising woodwinds, brass, and percussion, the orchestra is dedicated to delivering energetic, spirited, and highly engaging performances. Shortly after its establishment, Nova Wind Orchestra was invited to perform at the APBDA Band Festival in Singapore, where it received high acclaim. In the same year, the orchestra also performed at the Asia Wind and Choir Music Festival in Hong Kong's West Kowloon Cultural District. This summer, the orchestra will travel to Japan for a cultural exchange concert and masterclass with the Kanagawa Symphonic Band.Through professional music education and training, we empower young musicians to explore their identities, build confidence, and develop a strong sense of responsibility and leadership within a joyful and collaborative environment. Our performances not only bring the joy of music to the community but also serve as a meaningful platform for young talents to grow and ignite their aspirations for the future.
Nova Wind Orchestra 成立於2025年，匯聚香港不同背景的優秀年輕樂手，組成一支充滿活力與潛力的專業管樂團。「Nova」源自拉丁文「新的」之意，在英語中象徵「新星」（New Star），寓意這群年輕音樂家如新星般綻放潛力，散發青春活力與耀眼光芒，傳遞希望、成長與無限可能。本團以木管、銅管及打擊樂器為核心，致力呈現朝氣蓬勃、富有感染力的演出。成立不久，Nova Wind Orchestra 便獲邀前往新加坡參加 APBDA 亞太管樂節 演出，獲得極高評價。同年亦受邀於香港西九文化區參加 亞洲管樂及合唱音樂節 演出。今年暑假，更將遠赴日本與 神奈川大學管樂團 進行交流演出，並參與專業大師班。透過專業音樂教育與訓練，我們希望幫助年輕樂手在快樂而富有合作精神的環境中探索自我、建立自信，同時培養責任感與領導力。我們的演出不僅為社區帶來音樂的喜悅，更為年輕音樂家提供重要的成長舞台，點燃他們對未來的音樂夢想與 aspirations。

《海上鋼琴師》—— 顏尼歐·莫利克奈、史考特·喬普林（長尾淳 編曲）(Ennio Morricone & Scott Joplin, arr. Jun Nagao: The Legend of 1900)這部作品改編自同名傳奇電影。管樂團將帶領觀眾登上那艘往返大西洋的蒸汽船，跟隨一生不曾踏上陸地的鋼琴天才「1900」的腳步。日本作曲家長尾淳將莫利克奈那深邃迷人的電影主題旋律，與喬普林充滿活力的「散拍音樂（Ragtime）」完美交織。音樂描繪的不僅是孤獨與才華，更是「音符如何成為孤獨靈魂之間唯一的語言」。

布魯塞爾安魂曲—— 伯特·阿佩爾蒙特
A Brussels Requiem* — Bert Appertmont
布魯塞爾安魂曲—— 伯特·阿佩爾蒙特
下半場的焦點，是比利時作曲家阿佩爾蒙特在 2016 年布魯塞爾恐怖襲擊案後創作的里程碑巨作。這部作品並非單純描寫災難，而是聚焦於事件後人類心靈的集體療癒。
它並未描繪暴力本身，而是呈現情感的旅程：純真喪失、震驚與憤怒、哀悼，最終走向希望與療癒——完美契合您先前分享的節目說明。
全曲十八分鐘不間斷，分為四個情感清晰的樂章：
1. **Innocence（純真）**：鐵琴奏出法國傳統童謠《在月光下》的動機，象徵災難前無辜、純潔的美好世界。
2. **In Cold Blood（冷血）**：複雜的複節奏與打擊樂的猛烈撞擊，模擬襲擊發生時社會的集體震驚、恐懼與憤怒。
3. **In Memoriam（追思）**：這是全曲最核心的悼念段落，樂團交織出如輓歌般深沉的旋律，向逝去的無辜生命致敬，將個人的悲傷轉化為集體的擁抱。
4. **A New Day（新的一天）**：童謠旋律在宏大的合奏中獲得救贖與重生。正如海報上引用的《法句經》所言：*“For never is hatred settled by hate, it’s only settled by love.”* 音樂最終在澎湃的光輝中結尾，迎來全新的一天。在聖約翰座堂的神聖 acústica（迴音）中，這首曲子將為我們創造一個集體反思、共同療癒的深刻時刻。
A Brussels Requiem* — Bert Appertmont (18’)
The centerpiece of our second half is Belgian composer Bert Appertmont’s monumental masterwork, written in the wake of the 2016 Brussels terror attacks. Rather than focusing on the horrific events themselves, Appertmont centers the piece on the collective healing of the human spirit.Performed continuously over eighteen minutes, the work unfolds in four seamless movements:
It does not depict the violence itself, but rather the emotional journey: innocence lost, shock and anger, mourning, and ultimately hope and healing — perfectly matching the program note you shared earlier.
1. **Innocence**: The glockenspiel introduces a fragile French nursery rhyme, *Au Clair de la Lune*, symbolizing a pure, peaceful world before tragedy strikes.
2. **In Cold Blood**: Aggressive, complex polyrhythms and violent percussion impacts simulate the sudden shock, collective terror, and anger of a society under attack.
3. **In Memoriam**: The emotive central heart of remembrance. The orchestra weaves a deeply moving, elegiac lament to honor the innocent lives lost, transforming personal grief into a communal embrace.
4. **A New Day**: The nursery rhyme returns, fully integrated and reborn within a glorious, triumphant chorale. Echoing the words of the Dhammapada on our poster—*"For never is hatred settled by hate, it’s only settled by love"*—the music concludes in a radiant burst of light, welcoming a new dawn.In the resonant, sacred acoustics of St. John's Cathedral, this requiem creates a profound space for collective reflection and communal healing.
