KZ Megaron – BILA JE NOČ

KZ Megaron – BILA JE NOČ Ubald Vrabec (1905–1992): Bila je noč Komorni zbor Megaron Dirigent: Damijan Močnik Orgle: Tilen Bajec Naročilo zgoščenke: https://kzmegaron.com/zgoscenke/ Prišla je Luč, božične skladbe slovenskih skladateljev – zgoščenka KZ Megaron, 2018 Dirigent o nastanku zgoščenke: Slovenskim skladateljem živečim v drugi polovici 19. in v prvi polovici 20. stoletja je ustvarjalna struna ob božiču zapela na posebno šarmanten način. Izbor skladb ne želi biti antologijski, ampak je zelo oseben. Na dirigentski pult sem postavil tiste skladbe, ki me vsako leto v božičnem času znova in znova navdihujejo in si brez njih pravega slovenskega božiča ne morem predstavljati. Izbrane skladbe odlikujejo očarljiva melodika, zanimiva orgelska spremljava z učinkovitimi uvodi in medigrami, pri nekaterih občutimo plesno vzdušje, značilno za pozni barok in klasicizem, spet pri drugih barvite harmonije pozne romantike. Miniaturne mojstrovine nas nagovarjajo tudi danes in nam z zvočnimi freskami naslikajo čudovito skrivnost božjega učlovečenja. Damijan Močnik Ubald Vrabec se je rodil v glasbeno družino. Violinist in pianist je glasbo študiral v Trstu in Bologni, nato pa deloval med Slovenci v Argentini, Mariboru in Trstu. Vrabčevo ustvarjanje se prepleta z dirigentskim delom – z največjim veseljem je vodil številne pevske zbore. Predvsem si je želel, da dirigent ne bi utesnjeval zbora: pevci naj pojejo samostojno, živo, sproščeno. Komponiral je predvsem za različne zborovske sestave, a tudi instrumentalno, orkestralno glasbo, kantate, opere. Velik del predstavljajo cerkvene pesmi, med katerimi so priljubljene zlasti božične. Bila je noč Vinka Beličiča je z Vrabčevo uglasbitvijo dobila svoj manjkajoči del. Besedilo in melodija se zdita s slikanjem slušne in vidne podobe temne noči neločljiva. Morda je leta 2020 to najaktualnejša božična pesem, saj govori o joku, bolečini, obupu – a tudi o upanju in Božjem usmiljenju, ki je najbolj otipljivo prav v božični noči. Da bi tudi letos svete harmonije zasijale v naših srcih … Spletna stran/Web page: http://kzmegaron.com Spremljajte nas na/Follow us on: Facebook:   / kzmegaron   Instagram:   / kz_megaron   IN ENGLISH: Ubald Vrabec (1905–1992): In the Night The Light Came Forth – Christmas songs of Slovene composers Conductors notes on the CD: Christmas time seems to have been a source of particular charm and inspiration for Slovenian composers of the 1800s and the first half of the 1900s. The selection of music before you should in no way be considered an anthology, for it is very personal. I chose those pieces that continue to move me again and again each year, and without which I could not imagine the true Slovenian Christmas. The selected music prides itself on graceful melodics and inventive organ accompaniments, from introductions to interludes, creating an air of late baroque and classical festiveness in some pieces, and combining colourful harmonies of late romanticism in others. These miniature masterpieces still have the power to speak to us today and reveal to us the wonderful mystery of the birth of the Son of God. Damijan Močnik Ubald Vrabec, who was a violinist and a pianist, was born into a musical family. He studied music in Trieste and Bologna, and then worked among the Slovenes in Argentina, as well as in Maribor and in Trieste. His work in composition went hand in hand with his work in conducting - he found great joy in teaching and conducting several choirs. His motto was to never restrain the singers, but to always let them sing freely and vividly. He composed music for various choral ensembles as well as for different instruments and the orchestra, anything from cantatas to operas. Church music represents a big part of his opus, while his Christmas songs are especially popular. The text of the song, written by Vinko Beličič, is complemented by Vrabec's music. Together they manage to paint a convincing picture of a dark night. In 2020, this may be the Chrismas song that we can relate to most – it tells of sadness, pain and despair – but also of hope and God's merciful grace, which can be felt most directly on Christmas. We hope that these holy harmonies find a way into our hearts this year especially ...
