附錄一 魯特與研究者往返之電子郵件

研究者之提問一 Jan. 15, 2007 Dear Mr. Rutter: I'm a graduate student major in Choral Conducting at the National Taiwan Normal University. I am a big fan of you and your works; therefore I take your master piece "" as my graduation master thesis. May I ask you two questions about you and your work which I could not find thru other sources?

1. Other than Sir David willcocks at Clare College, who else, from your own point of view, also gave you great influence on your music style?

2. Are you a religious person? Does religion play an important role in your works?

Thank you for your time and look forward to receiving your reply.

Sincerely yours Chen, Chu-Yang

- 161 - 魯特之回覆一 Jan. 20, 2007 Dear Chu Yang, Thank you for your questions, which I will try to answer rather briefly:

1.Sir David Willcocks (who was Organist and Choir Director at King's College Cambridge, not Clare which was my college next door) was not really an influence on my musical style, more of a general inspiration as someone who took an interest in me and my work and who thought my compositions deserved to be published. He introduced me to my publisher, Oxford University Press. He did write beautifully for choir, and some of his choral textures did, I suppose, find his way into my writing (though not in the Gloria).

I would point to other composers as the main influences on the Gloria: William Walton (who wrote festive, ceremonial music so well), Stravinsky (who I think was the model for the style of the second movement) and Poulenc (who maybe influenced the third movement opening with its short phrases and 3/4 - 4/4 alternation). And the outlines of Gregorian chant had a big influence on the Gloria – the melodic motif which is heard when the choir enters in the first movement is based on a chant, and the intervals of that chant are used to create the motivic material of most of the rest of the work. Motivic unity was very important to me at that time.At the time I wrote the Gloria (1974), I don't think I had absorbed all my influences and really learned to speak with my own voice. When I hear it now, I think it is too close in style to its models. In general, my influences are eclectic. I could give a list of composers who are important to me, but it would be a very long list.

2. I was baptised into the Christian church as a baby, and I grew up singing in church and school chapel choirs. At Cambridge, I sang in my college choir at Clare (which I later directed). So, I am very familiar and comfortable with Christian tradition, the liturgy and music of the Christian church, and I have been asked often to write church music, which I enjoy. I am inspired by religious faith, though I do not fully share it personally. For me, the important thing is to understand faith and the texts which I set to music, and I think I do have this understanding, and also respect.

With best wishes, Sincerely,

Jan. 20, 2007 Dear Mr. Rutter:

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm so overwhelmingly happy to receive this amazing letter. Through your letter, I once again experienced God's love as you are so kind and willingly to share with me your precious time and talent (I was told that it's impossible to get a reply form such a busy person like you). Your response is so helpful and encouraging to me and you are the first foreigner whom I have successfully communicated with (I've determined to study English harder). Above all, your faith touches me really. I still have some additional questions about Gloria. It would be very appreciated if you can give me more hints to find the way out.Thank you.

1. Does the Gregorian chant shown completely on the First movement or you just

used a part of it? I can't find the one you used. Can you give me the name or score of

the chant? (I've already figured some motives out on the Gloria without the chant.)

2. For motives, I designed some patterns. Do you agree with that?

3. The Third movement is not easy to practice.What's your suggestion? For example

mm.52-87

4. Does the Voices of Mel Olson still exist? I can't find any information about this

group.Is it a professional choir or a student choir?

5. Among the three versions of the Gloria, which one is your favorite?why?

Thank You again for your time and kindness! Emmanuel Sincerely yours Chu Yang

ps. There are five parts in my thesis.1.Introduction 2.Background of Gloria and Mass 3.An analysis of composing 4.Conducting and Rehearsal suggestions 5.Conclusion.

- 163 - 魯特之回覆二 Jan. 23, 2007 Dear Chu Yang, Here are the best quick answers I can give you:

1. I have just used the first six notes of the Gloria chant found on P.26 of the Catholic Liber Usualis (from the Mass Cunctipotens Genitor Deus). I have not fitted the words the same way, however. But the intervals are the same, if you look at the first choral entry in my Gloria (figure 2, bars 41-46).

2. There is a pattern, at least in the first and second movements (the third movement is not so closely connected to the Gregorian chant).

3. Just work at it slowly. This section is maybe harder than the rest of the Gloria, but, if the singers are expert, it's no problem (my just read it at sight!). If they are not so expert, practise it slowly but rhythmically with them.

4. The Voices of Mel Olson no longer exists. Mel Olson was a church musician in Omaha, USA, active there in the 1960s and 70s. He founded a concert choir (about 80 adults, who were not professional singers but who wanted to sing music with some challenge) and that was The Voices of Mel Olson. In about 1980 he moved to California to a new church job, and his concert choir in Omaha therefore came to an end. In the 1990s he sadly died.

5. I don't have a preference. The reason I made the later version for orchestra without organ was for use in Carnegie Hall in New York, where there is no organ. I maybe prefer the middle movement in the orchestra version, it is more colourful than organ in the introductory section.

Best wishes for your dissertation.
