合唱学者团体於1999年组建。德斯蒙德告诉我,明年,他们将会有一个令人印象深刻的纪念他们20週年。这组18名歌手更是特别的是他们如何选择。 “选择UCD合唱奖学金的歌手来自大学的所有学科:音乐,医学,建筑学...从音乐,当然,我们有一个音乐节目,”Desmond解释说。 “我们已经有非常有趣的学生,没有以前的合唱经验冒出来,申请并获得成功,例如,我们的首席歌手在唱片的第一轨,他的名字是马克·沃特斯(Mark Waters)和马克(Mark)来自一个叫做韦克斯福德(Wexford)的地方在东南沿海的爱尔兰,您的许多听眾可能都会知道,它的草莓闻名,马克在一个农场长大,目前在爱尔兰的农业部工作,他是一位梦幻般的传统歌手。装饰,真实的泥土般的声音,真的从心里,你可以听到在轨道上。
“我最喜欢的歌曲之一,我为2014年巡演合唱团安排的第一首歌曲之一是”The Parting Glass“,这是著名的,在美国特别有名的歌曲,这是一首苏格兰歌曲,一首苏格兰文字,但是我们知道这是一首不是苏格兰歌曲,苏格兰歌曲是“晚安”,“神与你同在”,但是现在使用爱尔兰的一首歌曲,被称为“甜蜜的Coothill”,这是20世纪初的集合...这首曲子来自爱尔兰的科克郡,这是一个很有趣的例子,说明歌曲如何在领土之间迁移,并採取新的特徵,马克·沃特斯(Mark Waters)在他的幽默土地中做出的这首歌是非凡的,而且是大键琴手我真的很爱和谐,我要深入研究和形成和谐的伴奏,我觉得结果是相当不错的。
无形之星的概念是围绕独奏家和合唱团体与个人乐器的想法而建立的。这是丰富了这些爱尔兰和苏格兰歌曲的纹理的仪器。 “是的,我认为一个合唱团本身提供瞭如此之多的东西,而没有任何其他仪器伴随它,”德斯蒙德说。 “我的意思是我们有和谐元素明显,我们可以用合唱团分割八个或更多的部分,并且你会得到丰富的和声,但有时候,添加另一个乐器的音色是有用的,它提供了一个听觉当你看著这个音乐列表的时候,有几首曲子就是竖琴 - OK,这是一个和谐的乐器 - 但它有一个美味,我认为它适合於摇篮曲,但其中之一我真的很喜欢的片段,令人印象深刻的是Bill Whelan的太阳,月亮和星星,这是为大提琴和女高音独奏和合唱而编写的,大提琴改变了一切。

Invisible Stars - Choral works of Ireland and Scotland; The Choral Scholars of University College Dublin, Desmond Earley-conductor (Signum Classics)
"My name is Desmond Earley and I'm director of UCD Choral Scholars, which is known internationally as the Choral Scholars of University College Dublin. I'm also a harpsichordist and arranger and a composer and I work with different ensembles around Europe, playing music and directing. Today, we're talking about Invisible Stars, choral works of Ireland and Scotland and that's our latest achievement and one of which we're very proud."
Desmond Earley and the UCD Choral Scholars have every right to be proud. They're now included in the Signum Classics catalog, which is also where you'll find recordings by the legendary King's Singers and by the British choir Tenebrae.

The Choral Scholars' ensemble formed in 1999. Desmond told me that next year, they'll have quite a shindig to mark their 20th anniversary. What's even more special about this group of 18 singers is how they're selected. "The singers chosen for the UCD Choral scholarships come from all disciplines in the university: music, medicine, architecture … from music, of course, we have a music program," Desmond explains. "We've had really interesting students who have had no previous choral experience venture forth and apply and be successful. For example, our lead singer on the first track of the disc, his name is Mark Waters and Mark is from a place called Wexford in Ireland, which is on the southeast coast. Many of your listeners might know. It's famous for its strawberries. And Mark grew up on a farm and he currently works for the department of agriculture in Ireland. And he is a fantastic traditional singer. Ornamentation, real earthy sound, really from the heart and you can hear that on the track.
"One of my favorite songs on the album and one of the first songs I arranged for the choir for the 2014 tour is the song The Parting Glass, which is famous and particularly famous in the U.S. And it is a Scottish song, a Scottish text, but it's a not a Scottish tune as we know it. The Scottish song was Goodnight and God Be With You. But it uses now a song tune from Ireland which is called 'Sweet Coothill Town' which was found in an early 20th century collection … that tune is from County Cork in Ireland, and it's quite an interesting example of how songs can migrate between territories and take on new characteristics. And what Mark Waters makes of that song in his soulful earthiness is something extraordinary. And being a harpsichord player, I do love harmony, and I got to delve and shape the harmonic accompaniment of that and I think the result is pretty good, all around."
The concept of Invisible Stars was built around the idea of soloists and choral ensemble with individual instruments. It's the instrumentation that enriches the textures of these Irish and Scottish songs. "Yeah, I think a choir in itself provides so much without having any other instrument accompanying it," Desmond says. "I mean, we have the harmonic element obviously. We can split up to eight or more parts with that choir, and with that you get rich harmonies. But sometimes it's useful to add the timbre of another instrument, and it provides for an aural relief or variety. When you're looking at the list of music on this — there are a couple of tracks with harp — OK, that's a harmonic instrument — but it has a delicacy and I think it's suited to the lullaby. But one of the pieces I actually like most of all and was impressed by was Bill Whelan's Sun, Moon and Stars, which was written for cello and soprano solo and chorus. And the cello changes everything."

I want to ask about "Peace," the ninth track on the recording. I know there's a reason why you included war and peace on the disc, and the oboe accentuates the theme. "We wanted to commission three pieces of music that would mark the decade of centenaries in Ireland, that included the beginning of the first World War, all the way through to the 100th anniversary of the 1916 rising against the British," Desmond explains. "They will include the ending of the first World War, of course Ireland was part of the British Empire at the time and Irish troops fought in France and in Turkey and in other parts of the world … and it was quite important that we found a text that would actually honor, I suppose, each of the traditions of Ireland because there have been the Irish Gaelic tradition and the intermixing then of the Anglo-Irish tradition and our history is deeply entwined with that of our neighbor, the U.K. And peace of course is such an important aspect of what happened after those struggles. And everybody longs for peace in the world today, I think — certainly any reasonable person. And just to honor that and to mark that using an Irish text, the poetry of Eva Gore-Booth [1870 - 1926], who was herself an Anglo-Irish poet and activist … and we approached Evo Antonini who's a Swiss composer known for his jazz music with the idea of a sort of plaintive and soulful sound of the oboe sort of mixing with the choir both the texts peace and war. The title of the recording comes from the poem by Eva Gore-Booth, 'Peace': invisible stars shine / over the sea and the white calm of Maeve. And of course, our university has a motto: 'To the stars.' And I thought, there's a little play on words here in relationship to the motto of the university. But also the students themselves are stars — they are very gifted. And what better way to title a first disc: Invisible stars."

I found the UCD Choral Scholars by accident when I was searching youtube for the song The Parting Glass. There were many videos to choose from, but none really moved me. And then I click on the UCD video. I watched it more times then I could count! I looked for everything that I could find on youtube by the UCD performers. I found that they had a CD available on Amazon and bought it right away. WOW...almost every song on the album moved me down to my soul! This CD is, without a doubt, is the best CD that I have heard in many years. I listen to it everyday and still get the joy I did the first time I heard it! I can not say enough good things about this group and CD to do it justice. Enjoy the joy!
