「聖寵之母：雷鳴遠神父編《聖母敬禮歌曲選集》」音樂專輯正式推出
本專輯重現「教會禮儀本地化」先驅雷鳴遠神父（Vincent Lebbe, 1877-1940）之聖樂遺產。他將古老的額我略曲調與文言文禮儀經文融合，為天主教中文聖樂立下重要里程碑。輔仁大學天主教學術研究院重新整理雷神父改編之聖母敬禮歌曲相關樂譜，並由輔仁大學聖樂合唱團（男聲團）加以詮釋，而錄製完成這張全新專輯，希望讓更多人能夠接觸到雷鳴遠神父所留下的中文聖樂寶藏。
專輯收錄完整聖母彌撒、聖母瞻禮申正經（晚禱）及多首敬禮歌曲珠玉之作，並穿插管風琴即興演奏，呈現莊嚴靜謐的祈禱氛圍。從聖母彌撒〈進經〉的禮儀歌詠到〈恭賀母皇〉的懇禱讚頌，展現出信德與柔情的完美結合。這不僅是史料的重現與傳承，更是引領心靈「光榮天主」的靈修藝術饗宴。
------------------------------------
This album revives and reconstructs the sacred music heritage of Father Vincent Lebbe (1877–1940), a visionary pioneer of liturgical inculturation. By seamlessly blending ancient Gregorian melodies with classical Chinese liturgical texts, Father Lebbe set a monumental milestone for Chinese Catholic sacred music.
Commissioned by the Fu Jen Academia Catholica, which edited the original scores, the Fu Jen Schola Cantorum (Men's Choir) has brought Father Lebbe's adaptations of Marian devotional chants to life. Through this recording, they aim to share this profound treasure with a wider audience.
The collection features the complete Mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Vespers for Marian Feasts, and a selection of gem-like devotional chants. Interspersed with sublime organ improvisations, the recording evokes a solemn, serene, and prayerful atmosphere. From the liturgical chanting of the Introitus (Salve sancta parens) to the supplicatory praise of the Salve Regina, the repertoire showcases a perfect harmony of faith and profound tenderness. This album is not merely the preservation of a historical legacy, but a spiritual and artistic banquet that guides the soul to “ sing glory to God."
