Summary of This Score

This collection offers a selection of pieces inspired by Hebrew and Yiddish traditions, designed to highlight both the spiritual dimension, the nostalgia of song, and the energy of dance. The program mixes famous and immediately recognizable works with charming miniatures, making it an excellent resource to enrich a repertoire, prepare an audition, or build a thematic program.

It includes several major works by Ernest Bloch, such as "Abodah (God's Worship)" and the suite "Baal Shem" with "Vidui (Contrition)," "Nigun (Improvisation)," and "Simchas Torah (Rejoicing)": three contrasting moods inviting exploration of cantabile intensity, quasi-improvised inflections, and rhythmic joy. The collection also highlights George Perlman with excerpts from "Ghetto Sketches" (including "A Birdling Sings (Lied von a Vogele)," "Hebraisch," and "Hebrew Chant and Dance (Hush! the Rabbi Dances)") as well as the "Suite Hebraique" ("Chassidisch," "Dance of the Rebbitzen," "Yisker"), offering lively material to work on articulation, characterization, and changes of character.

The selection expands with Josef Bonime ("Danse Hebraique"), Jacob Koppel Sandler ("Eili, Eili / Eli Zion"), Eddy Brown ("Hebrew Folk Song and Dance"), and Joseph Achron with several reference pieces: "Hebrew Melody, op. 33," "Hebrew Dance, op. 35/1," and "Hebrew Lullaby, op. 35/2." Finally, essential traditional and popular songs complete the set, including "Kol Nidre," "Oyfn Pripetshik," and "Rozhinkes mit Mandlen," perfect for bringing an authentic color and strong melodic connection to the audience.
