陳啟揚：《青玉案．元夕》粵語混聲四部合唱與鋼琴
Night at the Lantern Festival（2018/rev. 2021) SATB choir and piano (Cantonese)

青玉案．元夕 辛棄疾
東風夜放花千樹，
更吹落、星如雨。
寶馬雕車香滿路。
鳳簫聲動，玉壺光轉，
一夜魚龍舞。

蛾兒雪柳黃金縷，
笑語盈盈暗香去。
眾裏尋他千百度，
驀然回首，那人卻在，
燈火闌珊處。

Cantonese Romanization (Jyutping)

Hsin Ch'i-chi: Night at the Lantern Festival (Translated by the composer)
As easterly wind brings blossoms to a thousand trees,
The glimmering lanterns sweep through the night like showering stars.
Precious horses and carved carriages pass through the roads,
Leaving a trail of the fragrance.
In flute music that moves even the phoenixes,
And as the moon slowly ascend and descend,
Lights dazzle through the lanterns of fish and dragons,
Dancing all night long.

Maidens wear hairpins of moth, silver willows, and golden threads,
Laughing, chattering, and filling the air with a subtle scent.
In the crowd, I searched for that person again and again.
Suddenly, as I turn around,
The face is there:
Where the lights are dim and sparse.
