The name of a male choir. Glee is a genre of secular choir in 18th century England. The word means "pleasure" or "diversion" and is thought to be related to musical entertainment, but is not necessarily limited to cheerful music. The Glee Club was originally a members-only choral club founded in London in 1783 with the aim of reforming the state of choral singing at the time, and was made up of amateurs and professionals. This club was a major stimulus to the amateur choral movement and promoted the subsequent development of male choral singing. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
男声合唱団の名称。グリーは18世紀イギリスの世俗合唱団の一ジャンルで,その語は〈楽しみ〉や〈気晴し〉を意味し,音楽的余興と関連があると考えられるが,必ずしも陽気な音楽に限定されない。グリー・クラブは本来,1783年,当時の合唱の現状を刷新する目的でロンドンに創設された会員制の合唱クラブで,アマチュアと専門家とから構成された。このクラブはアマチュア合唱運動に対する大きな刺激となり,その後の男声合唱の振興を促した。
