香港向来是传统的粤剧重镇,1949年之后,因为政治动荡,红伶戏班更多以港为基地,粤剧粤曲人材,新老结合,阵容鼎盛。很快,香港转型,粤曲粤乐跟着转型,它走的路,跟新兴的电声媒体,息息相关。

首先,部份粤剧团队艺人因为市场相对兴旺,加上拍电影容易带来收益,而表现因循,演艺停滞不前。

同样条件,却促使另一部份团队艺人,借助电台和电影的技术和平台,钻研粤剧演艺。他们刻意发掘新兴电声媒体的潜力,积极灌录唱片和制作电影,并因应这些媒体的特性,创造新的表演美艺,延续自三十年代已经开始的粤剧现代化改革。

黄湛森自幼多听粤曲、常看粤剧,在舞台、银幕和大气电波,透过红线女、马师曾、任白和唐涤生等人的倾情演出,亲身体会粤剧现代化的细艺和感动。

Composer: Guy d'Hardelot
Lyricist: Edward Teschemacher
Vocalist: Perry Como

Because you come to me
With naught save love
And hold my hand and lift mine eyes above
A wider world of hope and joy I see
Because you come to me

Because you speak to me in accent sweet
I find the roses waking 'round my feet
And I am led through tears and joy to thee
Because you speak to me

Because God made thee mine
I'll cherish thee
Through light and darkness through all time to be
And pray His love may make our love divine
Because God made thee mine
