It contains the last words of a mother, who right before stepping into the train that carried Jewish passengers to their bitter end, had decided to abandon her child with an attached note, bearing the hope that someone will have a heart to save the kid. The music portrays the running thoughts, passiveness, stored-anger, remorse and hope that ran in the mind of the mother, facing this heart-breaking dilemma. ​ The work is dedicated to mandolin player Avi Avital and was commissioned in memory of Edwin Jaffe, who always looked for the bright and hopeful side of life.

Canticles is mainly being read in Passover, the “holiday of spring.” Its theme is love and rebirth of love, symbolized by the spring. ​ Usually, only one or two lines of Canticles texts are being set to music. However, I had an interest to create a sort of journey as well as a psychological journey of a woman who searches, awaits and discovers her love. The text parallels the awakening of love with the awakening of spring in a most vivid and colorful way. While choosing instrumentation and musical language to with work, the modal, archaic sound mixed with the new was in my vision. Therefore, one can hear colors of certain exotic and primeval instruments such as the sistrum – an ancient Egyptian percussion instrument, dated from 2500 B.C. used mostly for religious ceremonies. Spring Calls was written for Close Encounters With Music, Yehuda Hanani – artistic director. It was generously commissioned by Lola and Edwin Jaffe with deep appreciation to their support.

As students in Boston, we frequently imagined how a new concerto for Luiz would sound. When Maestro Doron Solomon, himself an accomplished guitarist has approached me in regard to a new orchestral work for the Beer Sheva Sinfonietta, the guitar concerto idea was enthusiastically accepted. The Concerto consists of four movements, interconnected. Few motives repeat themselves throughout the work, treated and colored differently from one movement to the other. The orchestra in a way, serves as is an extension of the guitar and not as a contrasting body. Guitar Concerto was written for Luiz Mantovani and the Israeli Sinfonietta Beer Sheva; Doron Solomon; music director. It s commission was kindly supported by the Israel Ministry for Culture and Sport and by the Adele and John Gray Foundation.

For a long time, I felt that writing music that I could immediately improvise was artificial and useless. Therefore, when I finally decided to compose short pieces for piano I had one main guiding principle: to compose the music in the manner of a fast sketch, a Japanese painting of a single brush stroke. The aim was to capture in conventional music notation what might be improvised on the piano. Each of the short pieces, which vary in character and mood, was written in a single composing session in order to maintain the element of a fast sketch. ​ Movements: 1. Appasionato 2. Drammatico 3. Misterioso - Scherzando 4. Humoresque 5. Sognando, Rubato 6. Allegretto 7. Energico Furioso 8. Vivace 9. Largamente,Maestoso 10. Largo Sostenuto ​ Note: It is possible to play selections of the cycle, as long as No. 9 and No. 10 are played consecutively.

MUSIC FOR SOLO HARP | CONTEMPORARY MUSIC FOR SOLO HARP EAST OF THE CANE FIELDS for solo harp Duration: 8 minutes Instrumentation: harp solo Year Composed: 2001 Written For: Franziska Huhn ​ Premiere Performance: Boston, USA, 21 October 2001 Franziska Huhn, Harp MUSIC FOR SOLO HARP SOLO HARP REPERTOIRE VIEW SCORE LISTEN Program Notes: It is influenced by the cane field found in Boston’s Fenway Park. When blown by the wind, the canes move in such a way that produces a special visual effect, and a mysterious whistle. The flexibility of the canes makes their movement change constantly from one direction to the other. I translated this visual effect to sound and applied it to the harp. East of the Cane Fields was written for harpist Franziska Huhn.
