香港向來是傳統的粵劇重鎮,1949年之後,因為政治動盪,紅伶戲班更多以港為基地,粵劇粵曲人材,新老結合,陣容鼎盛。很快,香港轉型,粵曲粵樂跟著轉型,它走的路,跟新興的電聲媒體,息息相關。

首先,部份粵劇團隊藝人因為市場相對興旺,加上拍電影容易帶來收益,而表現因循,演藝停滯不前。

同樣條件,卻促使另一部份團隊藝人,借助電台和電影的技術和平台,鑽研粵劇演藝。他們刻意發掘新興電聲媒體的潛力,積極灌錄唱片和製作電影,並因應這些媒體的特性,創造新的表演美藝,延續自三十年代已經開始的粵劇現代化改革。

黃湛森自幼多聽粵曲、常看粵劇,在舞台、銀幕和大氣電波,透過紅線女、馬師曾、任白和唐滌生等人的傾情演出,親身體會粵劇現代化的細藝和感動。

I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Holiday J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E double L-S
I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Jingle Bells, jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Jingle Bells, jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
Dashing through the snow
In a one horse open sleigh
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way
Bells on bob-tail ring, making our spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight

Jingle Bells, jing jingle bells jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh

I Love those J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Holiday J-I-N-G-L-E Bells, OH
Those Happy J-I-N-G-L-E B-E double L-S
I Love those Jingle Bells, all the way
