About Us 簡介

融融的故事 - Story of Rong-Rong Choir

融融合唱團於 1976 年春天在在華盛頓州 Bellevue 市成立。融融的宗旨是聚集愛好歌唱的朋友，同以中文歌曲展喉舒懷，同溫往事，同敘鄉情， 進而促成中文音樂藝術能廣傳海外，更希望以歌會友融洽相處而成為一個大家庭，故命名為 ”融融合唱團”。 

Rong Rong Chorus was established in the spring of 1976 in Bellevue, Washington state. The goals of the choir are: to assemble friends who love singing, to express feelings with Chinese songs, to reminisce, to share homeland culture, and thus to promote the Art of Chinese Music. Moreover, Rong Rong is like an extended family to its members, and members interact in harmony. Thus the choir’s name: “Rong Rong”, holds meanings of “harmony and joy”. 

早期的融融是由幾對夫婦檔團友在他們家中，每兩週週五晚上練唱玩玩，到ハ○年代初オ成立正式的組織，開始展開對外界的接觸，於 1982,1983 年應邀參加 Christmas Around the World 演唱，1984 年春天為中華七千年文物展覽助唱。 

In the early days, Rong Rong began with several couples who would gather fortnightly on Fridays when they would have fun singing together. The Choir became a formal association in the 80’s when it began interacting with other similar associations. In 1982 and 1983, the group was invited to join “Christmas around the World’ performances, and in 1984 spring, sang for the exhibit of “7000 years of Chinese Cultural Artifacts”. 

1985 年由中華婦女會和中國工程師學會的合作，於 5 月 11 日假指揮廖新靄夫婿李英教授任教之華盛頓大學音樂系禮堂，聯合舉辦「母親節音樂會」，并邀請有陳子林小姐彈古箏，鄭宜君小姐的舞蹈，會後安排有茶點招待。這是融融第一次挑大樑的演唱會， 非常成功，一切演出及安排頗得與會聽眾好評，使團員們開始對演唱建立了信心，當時參加演唱，現仍在團者為楊錦輝、鄧芝源、劉安黎、高玲玲、林榮泰、郎德渝。為補做成立十週年，於 1987 年 6 月 6 日舉辦了「慶祝融融合唱團成立十週年、籌募中華婦女會華 美青年獎學金基金」音樂會，會後并有食物義賣。演唱會有六百多位聽眾，更是一場成功的演出，團員現仍在團者為楊錦輝、鄧芝源、劉安黎、高玲玲、林永龍，林榮泰、郎德渝。 

In 1985, the Choir conductor, Irene, and her spouse Prof. Lee, together with the Chinese Women’s Association and the Chinese Engineering Association, organized a “Mother’s Day Musical Concert” on May 11th in the hall of the School of Music at UW. That day Ms. Tzelin Chen played the guzheng (zither), Ms. Yuyun Cheng performed a traditional dance, and there was a reception afterwards. It was Rong Rong’s first major performance and it was successful, winning applause from all. The members were confident about future performances. Those early members still currently present in the choir are: Grace Soong, Dora Hsu, Ann Lin, Lingling Suen, J.T. Lin, De-Yu Lang. In 1987 a concert was held with the themes “A Belated Celebration of the 10th Anniversary of Rong Rong Choir”, and “Fund Raising for Seattle Women Association Scholarships” which were for meriting American Chinese Students. There was even an auction after the performance. The audience numbered more than 600 and the concert was a success. The members in that concert who are still present are: Grace Soong, Dora Hsu, Ann Lin, Lingling Suen, J.T. Lin, Y.L. Ling, De-Yu Lang. 

此後，融融走出唱唱玩玩的過去，每年都會舉辦至少一場音樂會，而被肯定是一個有水準的合唱團 。 多次參加國慶同樂晚會、Northwest Regional Folklife Festival 演唱。於 1988 年到溫哥華與遠道合唱團演唱，這是第一次出國。1989 年則與金縣合唱團聯合舉辨華卅慈善演唱會，並於 1990 年訪問華卅 Twisp 的 Methow Valley 舉辦文化交流演唱會。1991 年舉辦與陳榮貴聯合演唱會。 1992 年舉辦與華府童心合唱團聯合演唱會，第一次演唱黃自作品全套「長恨歌」。1994 年則應邀到華卅 Lake Chelan 演唱。1995 年再次與中樂團及青青合唱團聯合演出，在臺上的演出者超過百人，聽眾有ハ、九百人，是一個空前盛大的音樂會。 1996 年舉辦「二十週年音樂會」，是年並開始舉辦夏季音樂營，連續辦了三年。1998 年，因名作曲家黃振奮多年來為本團提供許多他的作品演唱，特為他舉辦了「黃振奮作品音樂會」。2000 年與溫哥華國韻合唱團聯合舉辦互訪兩場演唱會，並開始到專業錄音室正式錄音。 

From that time onwards, Rong Rong members didn’t just have fun, but also worked to hold at least one concert every year, and was acknowledged as a choir of high standards. The Choir took part in annual national festivities, and the Northwest Regional Folk-Life Festival. In 1988, it sang with “Yuen Dao Choir” in Vancouver, Canada. It was the Choir’s first trip out of the country. In 1989 it worked with King County in a Washington State fund-raiser for charity. In 1990, the Choir visited Twisp’s Methow Valley, WA, in a cultural exchange concert. In 1991, it held a concert with soloist Hong-Kwei Chen. In 1993, the Choir joined forces with Tung-Hsin Choir Society of Washington D.C. and performed the whole set of the “Eternal Lament” by Tza Huang. In 1994, Rong Rong Choir was invited to Lake Chelan for performance. In 1995 it performed with the Chinese Orchestra and Ching Ching Choir. On that occasion there were more than a hundred performers on stage, and about 900 in the audience; it was the largest concert for Rong Rong. In 1996, Rong Rong had its “20th Anniversary Concert”, and from that year, summer camps were held for the next three years. Since the famous song composer Zhenfen Huang had continuously provided Rong Rong with his songs over the years, the Choir held a concert in his honor in 1998: From China to Seattle – A musical Collection by Zhenfen Huang. In 2000 the choir held a concert with The Vancouver Chinese Choir Association, Canada. The two choirs visited each other, and in that year, the choir recorded their songs in a professional recording studio. 

2001 融融成立二十五週年，為紀念二十五年來的耕耘，除了舉辦「二十五週年紀念音樂會」，并特別出紀念刊，將團員的心聲，珍貴的歷史照片及記錄，將過去的事跡記載下來，也正式出版第一片CD。 是年並與波音員工合唱團合作演出，一起合唱了「康定情歌」。這年開始於舊曆年慰問健安療養院耆老，從 2007 年以後成為定例。 

2001 was year of the 25th anniversary for Rong Rong Choir, and many early members returned to sing for the 25th Anniversary Concert, so membership rose to about 50. Besides holding a concert, Rong Rong printed a memorial booklet, which had photos and articles from member of previous years, and the choir produced its first CD. That year the Choir performed with the Boeing Employees Choir, and sang together “Kung-Ding Love Song”. That year Rong Rong performed for Kin On Nursing Home around Chinese New Year, and since 2007 the visit has become an annual event. 

2006 年是融融成立三十週年，舉辦「三十週年紀念音樂會」，西華報以「孫樂華與融融合唱團」為題，簡約報導融融過去三十年的行跡。 

In 2006 the Choir held its 30th Anniversary Concert. Seattle Chinese Post printed a featured article, “Shirley Lang and the Rong Rong Choir” and wrote about activities of the Choir over 30 years.

2008 再度邀請波音員工合唱團參加融融演唱會演唱。2009 年參加 CAEW(Collaborative Artists East West) 主辦在 Kirkland Performance Center 舉行的演唱會。 

In 2008, Rong Rong again invited the Boeing Employees Choir to join in performances. In 2009 it took part in a concert at Kirkland Performance Center, organized by CAEW (Collaborative Artists East West).

2011 年是中華民國建國一百週年，融融也積極參加慶祝活動。這年也是融融成立的第三十五週年，融融以「回顧感恩，和樂融融」為主題舉辦慶祝「中華民國精彩一百暨融融三十五週年音樂會」， 并特別出紀念刊，將過去三十五年來融融的辛酸歡樂，用音樂、圖片和老團員的記憶，記載下來，為未來留下一個見証。 

2011 is the year of the 35th anniversary for Rong Rong. It is also the 100th anniversary for the Republic of China and the Choir has taken part in celebration activities. The Choir is using “Look back and give thanks in harmonious joy” as a theme for its anniversary concert.

Half of the members have been in the choir for 10 or more years. Another feature of Rong Rong Choir is that the members are contributors to their community. More than 10 members have been leaders in Chinese associations (Engineering Association, Women’s Association, Chamber of Commerce, Chinese School). Many have been leaders in the Choir.

林福裕 Lin, Fu-Yu

「藝術是一生的志業，任何時候的自滿都是危機，只有不斷投入、反省和創造，才是唯一的出路，如果不能有所突破，很快就會被別人超過。那時候，我們的一點點成績，就會在歷史無情的考驗裡灰飛煙滅。」

林福裕1931 年 11 月 19 日出生於臺北木柵，由於父親林朝聘、母親張金蘭皆在臺北市任教，年幼的林福裕在木柵鄉下由外婆帶大。童年時光從外婆及兒時玩伴習得不少老唸謠，如《新娘新噹噹》、《指呀指鮕代》等歌謠。

1946 年考取臺北師範學校普通科，後又重考藝術科。1948 年，因著對於音樂的熱愛，林福裕降轉音樂科，跟隨沈炳光學習合唱、作曲及指揮等課程。父母微薄的收入維持一家八口的生活，甚是辛苦，所幸林福裕讀的是公費的師範學校，能減輕家中的負擔。1951 年以優異成績畢業。

1951 年起，林福裕任教於臺北市福星國小，不但教學有無比的熱忱，還不斷練琴且研讀音樂理論。因工作上的需要，意識到學習聲樂及合唱指導有其必要，遂拜師於呂泉生。學習其間，考上文協合唱團，1952 年與合唱團在臺北市國際戲院演出，林福裕擔任獨唱。因表現優異，此後合唱團對外演出的獨唱幾乎都由林福裕擔綱。

1956 年在恩師呂泉生及校長林煉的支持下，成立了臺灣第一個兒童合唱團。翌年，林福裕所指導的福星國小合唱團，獲得全省音樂比賽首屆國小合唱比賽冠軍，開啟他人生以合唱為志業的道路。1960 年受呂泉生所託，林福裕協助指導榮星合唱團，為期八年，累積不少實務經驗。

因教學經驗豐富且長期投注於合唱指導不遺餘力，林福裕受邀與李志傳合編《國民學校音樂課本》及《國民學校唱遊》，嘉惠學子；另與恩師康謳創辦《音樂教育月刊》，將自身教學經驗，寫成《兒童發聲指導法》，讓更多教師領略合唱教學。1971 年榮獲教育部頒發「社會教育貢獻獎」；隔年，再獲文藝獎章。

除合唱教學外，林福裕也嘗試歌曲創作。1953 年起以《少年進行曲》、《我的馬》及《風來了》參加《新選歌謠》獲得發表。1956 年更以《惜春》榮獲臺灣文化協進會第七屆全省音樂比賽文藝類三等獎。

1963 年林福裕辭去教職，投入更寬闊的音樂事業，與其胞弟、友人共組「幸福男聲合唱團」，後又成立「幸福唱片公司」，擔任編曲、製作、演唱及演唱指導等。他同時也身兼其他唱片公司的音樂指導，許多流行歌手因他的指導，演唱水準提高不少。林福裕還受委託創作多首廣告歌曲，如《乖乖》、《綠油精》等，膾炙人口也帶動商品銷售。從古典跨足流行樂界，林福裕為通俗音樂注入一股新氣象。

1966 年，林福裕應臺北市立交響樂團委託創作民謠編曲《六月茉莉》及《哭調仔》，與其他作曲家一同響應國人交響作品的創作。

1966 年 6 月林福裕接獲邀請，於 10 月赴日考察，其間跟隨維也納少年合唱團聲樂指導葛羅斯曼教授 (A. Grossmann, 1933年生) 學習兒童發聲法三個月，返臺後用於合唱團教學。

1969 年與國內幾位友人共同籌組「臺北兒童合唱團」，該團經常出國巡迴演唱，足跡遍及三十餘國，並曾為多國元首獻唱，用音樂搭建良好國際橋梁。成立翌年，又與熱心人士籌組「中華民國兒童與少年合唱推廣協會」，協助全臺設立民間兒童合唱團。

經常帶合唱團出國訪問演出外，亦不斷有來自各國的邀約演講及研習活動。1982 年獲得美國「洛克斐勒基金會」獎學金，以「人類的聲音生理發展及保養」為題，赴紐約進行專題研究。返臺後，將研究成果有效發揮於教學。

1989 年，林福裕移居美國調養身體；返臺後，與蕭泰然共同編輯《臺語創作藝術歌曲集》，並錄製唱片，受到大眾關注。1996 年，於國家音樂廳舉辦個人作品發表「鄉土心、母語情 - 林福裕樂展」，獲得極高評價。他將畢生創作有系統地整理出版，並正視智慧財產權益，保障創作人才。2004 年 5 月 22 日 於西雅圖 Benaroya Hall 舉辦「西雅圖臺灣傳統文化週 - 臺灣作曲家林福裕作品演唱會」，同年 6 月 18 日病逝於西雅圖。
