《天使在歌唱》
此影集輯錄了王紀言先生十年來為海內外不同合唱團及指導老師留下的光影瞬間。照片沒有聲音，但真實地呈現了歌聲的現場、氣氛和動態，畫面與天籟交織，更顯豐盛。
童聲在我們的生命中只佔極短暫的階段，兒童合唱亦然；這種瞬間即逝的美好，並不只是課外的文娛節目，而是數千年來文代傳承的重要途徑。
這種文化傳承對沒有曲譜、沒有文字，僅靠世代口耳相傳的民族童謠和高原樂舞尤其重要。隨書附送的「中國愛樂與五彩傳說」黑膠CD便記錄了內蒙古高原和新疆柏米爾高原的少數民族兒童合唱團的歌聲，以及他們唱活了的失傳兒童音樂。
"Hear the Angels Sing"
This album is a collection of Mr. Wang Jiyan's fascinating photography featuring the performances of various children's choirs, along with their conductors, from home and abroad over the past decade. The photos, though soundless, somehow truly convey the spectacle, ambience and dynamics of the children's singing. Their singing, entwined with the sounds of nature, creates a rich, heavenly euphony.
The angelic nature of these young voices have a short lifespan for choral singing. Such fleeting beauty is not just an extracurricular school programme, but an important pathway for hereditary cultural transmission.
The folk songs and plateau dances performed by these children have neither been preserved by scores nor recorded through text, meaning that an oral tradition is vital when passing the works from generation to generation.
The DDP CD is also supplied with a book, which records the beautiful sound of "Quintessenso Children's Choir & China Philharmonic Orchestra", a minority children's choir originating from the Mongolian plateau and Xinjiang Pamir Mountains. Through their angelic voices, these children allow music that might otherwise have been lost to come alive.
