Celebrating Choral Excellence

For 45 years, the Singapore Symphony Chorus (SSC) has brought together passionate choristers from varied backgrounds to create stirring symphonic music that transcends language and culture. More than a choir, the SSC is a vibrant community where lasting bonds are forged beyond the stage.

Committed to artistic excellence, its dedicated members rehearse weekly, performing at celebrated venues like the Esplanade and Victoria Concert Halls. Under the baton of world-class conductors such as Okko Kamu, Lan Shui, Lim Yau, Masaaki Suzuki, and Sofi Jeannin, the SSC has built a rich repertoire featuring masterpieces like Tippett’s A Child of Our Time, Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum, Britten’s War Requiem, and Bach’s St John Passion

The chorus’s unwavering dedication to delivering outstanding performances makes the SSC a leading choral ensemble – a shining example of music’s power to unite people across generations and cultures.

Inspiring Choral Passion

Bursting with energy and passion, the Singapore Symphony Youth Choir (SSYC) is a lively group with members aged 17 to 28, who thrive on breaking artistic boundaries and growing as one. Beyond making harmonies, the SSYC is a buzzing community where young voices come together to dive into symphonic choral adventures with the national orchestra.

Performing regularly at the Esplanade and Victoria Concert Halls, the SSYC tackles some of the most exciting and challenging choral works across diverse styles and genres. The SSYC regularly collaborates with visionary conductors including Lan Shui, Hans Graf, and Stephen Layton. Their impressive repertoire features highlights like Scriabin’s Prometheus, Puccini’s La Bohème, Tallis’s Why Fumeth in Fight, and Faure’s Requiem, along with recordings of Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances and Mahler’s Symphony No. 2.

The SSYC offers an unparalleled chance to learn and create memories with the seasoned professionals – setting the stage for the future of symphonic choral music.

Nurturing Choral Brilliance

The Singapore Symphony Children’s Choir (SSCC) offers young voices a thrilling gateway into the world of professional music-making. Singing alongside the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and renowned conductors, children discover not only the joy of performance but the discipline, confidence, and creativity that come with it.

Through its nurturing environment, the SSCC develops young children both musically and personally. It’s a space where artistry, friendship, and deep love for music come to life in every rehearsal and performance. Based at the Victoria Concert Hall, the choir has performed under the direction of esteemed conductors like Lim Yau, Sofi Jeannin, François-Xavier Roth, and Stephen Layton, and has shared the stage with The King’s Singers.

The SSCC’s impact extends beyond the concert hall, with appearances at national events and international collaborations in Paris and Kuala Lumpur, championing local music by commissioning works from Singaporean composers including Darius Lim, Zechariah Goh and Kelly Tang. Passionate, polished, and proudly Singaporean, the SSCC is shaping the next generation of choral excellence.

Eudenice Palaruan

Choral Director

Eudenice Palaruan studied composition and choral conducting at the University of the Philippines College of Music and the Berliner Kirchenmusikschule, Germany. He graduated with a Doctor of Musical Arts at St. Paul University Manila.

He was a singer, resident composer, and music arranger of the Philippine Madrigal Singers. He performed with the Berlin Spandauer Kantorei, the World Youth Choir, and sang countertenor with the Berlin Monteverdichor.

In addition, he was the principal conductor of the San Miguel Master Chorale. For years, he has been the resident conductor of the International Bamboo Organ Festival, where he performed and recorded significant selections of LatinAmerican Baroque music. With his active involvement in the choralization of Filipino and other Asian indigenous music, he premiered a substantial volume of new Asian choral works. In addition, he was often invited to give lectures on non-Western vocal aesthetics.

Eudenice also arranges music for the SSO choruses and the SSC community outreach programmes. Under his direction, the Singapore Symphony Choruses have premiered new choral works written by local composers and arrangers in Singapore.

He taught composition and choral conducting in institutions such as the University of the Philippines College of Music, the Asian Institute for Liturgy and Music, and St. Paul University College of Music and the Performing Arts. He is an associate professor at the Singapore Bible College School of Church Music and the choral director of the SBC Chorale and the SBC VOX Community Choir. Eudenice is often invited to conduct choral clinics and to adjudicate in international composition and choral competitions.

Wong Lai Foon

Choirmaster

Armed with a passion and mission to nurture young voices and inspire choral excellence, Wong Lai Foon has been instrumental in developing and growing the Singapore Symphony Children’s Choir (SSCC) and the Singapore Symphony Youth Choir (SSYC) to the ensembles that they are today. As founding conductor of both ensembles, this season marks her 20th year with the SSCC and her 10th with the SSYC, during which time she has inspired generations of singers through the study of the choral art.

With musical styles ranging from Baroque to opera to contemporary and popular music, as well as repertoire that spans diverse cultures and languages, she has directed the SSCC and SSYC in a wide array of concerts, often receiving praise for the choirs’ beautiful tone and sensitivity. She has prepared the choirs for overseas tours, recordings and collaborations with renowned conductors and performers such as Stephen Layton, The King’s Singers, and Sofi Jeanin. The SSCC has also had the distinction of being invited to perform at various state functions.

Wong has commissioned and premiered treble choir works by local composers and has also arranged music for the SSCC and SSYC. Her efforts to educate and inspire singers extend into the community through workshops, talks, as well as adjudicator, chorus-master and guest-conductor roles. Some ensembles that she has worked with include The Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Singapore Symphony Chorus, Singapore Lyric Opera, Hallelujah Singers, and Methodist Festival Choir. She holds a master’s degree in choral conducting from Westminster Choir College, USA.

Programme Notes

Jubiläum, or anniversary, celebrates the Singapore Symphony Chorus, Youth Choir and Children's Choir’s legacy of music-making. Tonight’s programme presents choral classics honed over the years, as well as newer pieces that articulate the choirs’ dreams for the future.

The Antiphon by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) rings in the happy occasion, sung fittingly by all three choirs. This is the fifth song of Vaughan Williams’ set of Five Mystical Songs, which he completed in 1911. Through the rumbles of the organ introduction, the chorus declares, “let all the world in every corner sing!” In between these refrains are softer, more flowing verses, tinged with modal and pentatonic colouring. The contrasting refrain, especially in its organ accompaniment, is strongly reminiscent of ringing church bells, lending the piece an emphatic, triumphant quality.

Following this is a short set by the Singapore Symphony Chorus (SSC), beginning with the Cantique de Jean Racine, Op. 11 by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924). This was first written as a student piece when Fauré was twenty years old, at a classical and religious music institute. Considering its serene charm and skillful melodic writing, it is unsurprising to learn that he was awarded a first prize in composition for the piece. The organ establishes a backdrop of unending triplets, creating an impression of clouds drifting across the open sky. A simple melody is introduced in the basses, inviting the remaining voices to join at a leisurely pace.

This segment of pieces from the classical canon is rounded out with the austere Voka’leise, a choral arrangement by Choral Director Eudenice Palaruan of a wordless song composed by Sergei Rachmaninoff titled Vocalise. This is the final song of Rachmaninoff’s 14 Songs written in 1912. Without any words, Rachmaninoff creates a dark, yearning atmosphere. The melody is stretched across a luxurious seven bars, characterised by long suspended notes pulled into a descending sequence. This theme is broken up and elaborated upon, creating cycles of tension and light release. Towards the end, a fragile climax is crafted with a gentle ascending line that seems to touch the sky, and fall swiftly, softly, to the ground.

The SSC closes their set with an African American spiritual, John Saw duh Numbuh, arranged in 1962 by Alice Parker (1925–2023) and Robert Shaw (1916–1996). The text is based on the Biblical book of Revelations, in which the author John sees innumerable souls in Heaven. The apocalyptic text is given a lighter treatment here, with the basses setting a groove upon which the rest of the song swings. Like in the Fauré, voices are invited one by one to thicken the texture, this time giving the effect of a joyous, increasingly populated Paradise.

The next piece marks the start of a set by the Singapore Symphony Children’s Choir (SSCC). We are first treated to a tuneful setting of the poem, If Music Be The Food of Love. Not to be confused with the Shakespearean text, the poetry is by 17th century colonel Henry Heveningham, who took the opening line from a Twelfth Night monologue and made the rest his own. American composer David Dickau gives it a lush, romantic rendering, making it a moving tribute to love and to music.

Following that is our first commissioned piece of the evening. Two Choral Songs by Kelly Tang (b. 1961) is based on the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson. The first song, Night and Day, features colourful metaphors that paint, in vivid detail, the recurring cycle of Day as it turns into Night, and darkness as it breaks into dawn. In contrast, the second song The Swing explodes with freedom and vitality, evoking the exhilaration of flying up and down on a swing. While they seem to be exact opposites, Two Choral Songs both have cyclic and dynamic dimensions. Night and Day describes a daily cycle and dynamic movement between darkness to light. The Swing pulsates with energy, a pendulum swinging repeatedly from left to right in static cyclical momentum. In this way, Two Choral Songs represent two sides of the same coin. (adapted from composer’s notes)

Sustaining that youthful energy is A Child’s Voice by Lee Chin Sin. The song was originally commissioned for the SSCC’s 10th anniversary in 2016— it is fitting that the choir revisit the piece a further ten years on. The song likens the children’s voices to a rainbow that shines clear with its many colours and dimensions. Lee uses each verse to highlight different facets of these voices: sometimes assertive, at others heartfelt, and often joyful.

Following in the footsteps of the SSC, the children’s choir gives a rousing close to their set. This is Music Down In My Soul by Moses Hogan, based on the African American spiritual, “Over My Head”. The spiritual is first sung with conviction and sincerity. Soon, the piano urges us forward, and the song erupts into jubilant praise with shouts of love and peace everlasting.

Two delicate prayers open the second half of this evening’s programme, performed by the Singapore Symphony Youth Choir (SSYC) together with the SSCC. The first is the Ave Maria (Angelus Domini) by Franz Biebl (1907-2001), a setting of the Latin ‘Hail Mary’ Catholic prayer, completed in 1964. Within it, Biebl intersperses lines from the ‘Angelus’ devotional text in the form of chants. The main prayer text is rendered in a gentle, rocking manner, alternating lines between the upper and lower voices. Rising together, the choir builds to a climatic supplication, “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners”. A simple ascending scale paves the way to a conclusive, resonant “Amen”.

The second prayerful song is O Salutaris Hostia by the Latvian composer Ēriks Ešenvalds’ (b. 1977), a Eucharistic hymn sung for Holy Communion. A calm, meditative texture is created by sustained notes held by a full chorus. This serenity is never disturbed. Above, angelic solo voices soar, their melodies characterised by weightless octave leaps and delicate turns. The combined effect is heavenly, resembling light filtering through morning fog.

A warm and expressive piano introduction takes us into Flight Song by Kim André Arnesen (b.1980). Arnesen wrote it as a gift to choral conductor Anton Armstrong, with text by Euan Tait. The words speak of the song that exists in every choral member, drawn out and encouraged by the masterful hands of a conductor. As the composer himself wrote about the piece, “it is a song for all who find their voice (and their wings) in the world of singing”.

“Abendlied”, Op. 69, No. 3 by Josef Rheinberger (1839 - 1901) is a staple of choral repertoire. It is the third song from his choral set, Drei geistliche Gesänge (Three Sacred Songs), composed in 1855. It is an evening song, beginning with a hushed prayer from the upper voices, beckoning, “stay with us”. The middle section takes us into moments of doubt and tension, perhaps conveying exhaustion from the day gone by and anxieties about the day ahead. Layer by layer, this tension builds from the lower to upper voices before quickly surrendering to a calm assurance.

The delightfully titled Coconut Heart is the second of this evening’s commissioned works. In collaboration with writer Toh Hong Jin, composer Kenneth Tay (b.1992) sought to anchor their piece to motifs from everyday Singaporean culture. Toh was drawn to the coconut, a nutrient-rich fruit unique for its method of dispersal across water and multifaceted use as food and building materials. The poem unfolds through interwoven quatrains, similar to the pantoum with roots in the Malay pantun, where lines recur and are subtly recontextualised across successive stanzas. Musically, the piece is shaped by canonic entries and recurrent gestures that follows the poetic circularity. Some features of Singaporean English are intentionally preserved: dental fricatives are rendered as alveolars (e.g. the → də, that → dat, they → dey) to reflect the sounds of everyday speech. (adapted from composer’s notes)

Finally, the choirs reunite to conclude with Jubilate Deo by Zechariah Goh (b. 1970). The piece is Goh’s attempt to compose a sacred work that encompasses non-western elements and aesthetics familiar to Singaporeans. Specifically, the Javanese pelog scale, the Anhemitonic Pentatonic scale and the Indian Carnatic (Tala) rhythmic devices are carefully embedded within this work. The beautiful rattling sounds of the Angklung ensemble and the metallic and percussive idiophones of the Gamelan ensemble are presented in the Marimba and Brass quintet respectively. The pentatonic sounds are reminiscent of Chinese music, and the irregular subdivisions of beats such as 3 beats (Tisra): Ta Ki Ta, 4 beats (Chatusra): Ta Ka Dhi Mi, 5 beats (Khanda): Ta Dhi Gi Na Thom, are mixed into the work. Goh writes: “Jubilate Deo is a celebration of Singapore Symphony Choruses extraordinary journey since its inception in 1976. Happy anniversary and wishing you many glorious years of joyous singing ahead!” (adapted from composer’s notes)

Notes by Wong Yong En

Two Choral Songs

1. NIGHT AND DAY

When the golden day is done, Through the closing portal, Child and garden, Flower and sun, Vanish all things mortal.

As the building shadows fall As the rays diminish, Under evening's cloak they all Roll away and vanish.

In the darkness houses shine, Parents move the candles; Till on all the night divine Turns the bedroom handles.

Till at last the day begins In the east a-breaking, In the hedges and the whins Sleeping birds a-waking.

These shall wake the yawning maid; She the door shall open— Finding dew on garden glade And the morning broken.

There my garden grows again Green and rosy painted, As at eve behind the pane From my eyes it fainted.

Just as it was shut away, Toy-like, in the even, Here I see it glow with day Under glowing heaven.

Every path and every plot, Every blush of roses, Every blue forget-me-not Where the dew reposes.

2. THE SWING

How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue?

Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do!

Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, Rivers and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside—

Till I look down on the garden green, Rivers and trees and cattle and all Down on the roof so brown— Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down!

Coconut Heart

I look to the uncharted sea

Is there a place somewhere waiting for me?

Cast a coconut into the deep

A husked hollow seeped in weep

Is there a place somewhere waiting for me?

Drifting, driven by wave after wave

A husked hollow seeped in weep

The tears mixed with the salty sea

Drifting, driven by wave after wave

A heart kept sturdy and afloat from ache

The tears have mixed with the salty sea

They shall carry and deliver me

Jubilate Deo

Jubilate Deo, omnis terra; Servite Domino in laetitia.

Introite in conspectu ejus in exsultatione.

Scitote quoniam Dominus ipse est Deus;

Ipse fecit nos, et non ipsi nos:

Populus ejus, et oves pascuae ejus.

Introite portas ejus in confessione; Atria ejus in hymnis:

Confitemini illi, laudate nomen ejus.

Quoniam suavis est Dominus:

In aeternum misericordia ejus, Et usque in generationem et generationem veritas ejus.

This heart kept sturdy and afloat from ache

Shall find itself ashore someday

By waters that carry and deliver me

From river to river and sea to sea

I shall find myself ashore someday

And there shall be my homely place

River to river or sea to sea

I entrust and submit myself to thee

And there where be my homely place

Shall be where I look to the uncharted sea

Entrust and submit myself to thee

And cast a coconut into the deep

by Toh Hong Jin (b. 1998)

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness

Come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God. It is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise. Be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
