The three songs in discussion were not composed sequentially. Instead, they were gathered to form a brief song cycle that explores the introspective ruminations and desolations experienced by a solitary woman. Despite their individuality, the three songs exhibit a remarkable similarity in motives, descriptions, and vocabulary, with some words intriguingly possessing a dual significance. ​ more about poet Leah Goldberg >>> VIEW SCORE Listen Score-Video Hebrew Art Song | Art Song in Hebrew | Israeli Art Song | Leah Goldberg | Israeli Lieder Leah Goldberg | art song | voice and piano

    CONTEMPORARY STRING QUARTETS | CONTEMPORARY STRING QUARTET | STRING QUARTET COMPOSERS | ISRAELI STRING QUARTET | POLITICAL STRING QUARTETS HOPE CYCLES (string quartet no. 2) for string quartet Duration: 24 minutes Instrumentation: violins (2); viola and cello ​ Year Composed: 2004 Written For: Borromeo String Quartet ​ Commissioned By: Koussevitzky Music Foundation for the Borromeo String Quartet ​ Premiere Performance: Cape Cod Chamber Music Festival The Borromeo String Quartet: Nicholas Kitchenm violin Kristopher Tong, violin Mai Motobuchi, viola Yeesun Kim, cello CONTEMPORARY STRING QUARTETS contemporary string quartet CONTEMPORARY STRING QUARTET VIEW SCORE LISTEN SHOP NOW Program Notes: String Quartet no. 2 – “Hope Cycles” , in one movement, focus on the endless war between Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East from the small person’s point of view. As an Israeli myself, I always find it hard to explain to European /American people where is the real tragedy, the one of the individual person – not the one behind the “selected” pictures one sees on the TV screen or see in any other media. The music describes the fear, hate, anger, love, remorse, the claustrophobic and uncertain feeling of being under daily attack (no matter in what side one is.) I believe that without the hope for a real peaceful solution and for a better life, things would have been much worse – the hope is what keeps people alive. Yet, between one hopeful chapter to another, the reality hits once more – more innocent victims die and more families are being destroyed, on a daily basis. Most of the stories of these individual victims never reach the international media, who ironically enough look only for “big numbers.” The viola represents such an individual who faces reality on its cruel side. Hoping, lamenting, loving, tendering, and accepting the sad reality… The quartet consists of connected sections that depict the brutal fate that occurs and the acceptance of fate as a natural part of life, the emotional whirlpools, the instability, the fighting, the lamenting emotion, the distanced and cold emotion, the hope, the disillusion, the farewell, and the recurring destiny, moving on to the next victim. ​ There are few short thematic fragments and motives which are repeated in different variations to create a stronger emotional feeling towards the end of the quartet. Some of these short motives include the half scale of the Arabic “Maqam Hijaz”, as well as short fragments from Jewish Music. Funny enough, both motives are aurally and historically closely related. Despite the highly charged subject, I chose to restrain the emotional level of expression. Therefore, except for a few short emotional bursts, the audience will perceive a somewhat cold, filtered expression, as if they are watching a show from behind a glass. ​ String Quartet no. 2 – “Hope Cycles” was written for Borromeo String Quartet, The Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress and dedicated to the memory of Serge and Natalie Koussevitzky.

  • Piano Four-Hands | Music for Piano Four-Hands | Piano four-hands Repertoire | Contemporary Music

    Piano four-hands repertoire | contemporary piano duos AT THE EDGE OF A SPIRAL for piano four-hands Duration: 10 minutes ​ Instrumentation: piano four-hands ​ Year Composed: 2004 Written For: The Silver-Garburg Piano Duo ​ Commissioned By: Miriam and Eliezer Benbassat ​ Premiere Performance: The Silver-Garburg Piano Duo contemporary piano four-hands repertoire PIANO FOUR-HANDS VIEW SCORE LISTEN Program Notes: At the Edge of a Spiral for one piano, four hands is a short journey of a built intensity. It is based on a few fragments, motives that are lit in different light each time. The piece starts slowly, but increases its intensity and speed as it progresses, utilizing the same motives. While composing the piece, I heard about a young man that threw himself into the river. I tried to imagine that went in his mind and what had brought to this dead-end. And again the idea of a built intensity, obsessive and uncompromising, came to my mind. At the very end of the piece, there is a sudden drop of intensity followed by a music box passage, as if describing what is going on in the person’s mind right after the jump, right after reaching the edge of his life’s spiral. At the Edge of a Spiral was written and dedicated for the Silver-Garburg Piano Duo–Sivan Silver and Gil Garburg. It was funded by the generous support of Miriam and Eliezer Benbassat.

Soon, I found myself composing a prelude and set of variations, a process that was quiet challenging for me, as I do not play the guitar. The variations are not to be taken in the traditional sense of melodic development over a fixed form. Here, they are based on fragments, or motives from the prelude.

A greedy law student sneaks into a party of a ruthless banker just to find himself in the midst of a heated up argument: What is the better punishment – death sentence or life sentence? The banker challenges the student: money as reward for a self-imprisonment. One year? Two years? The deal is done: Fifteen years – ten million; easy money. Fifteen years: market changes; social changes; long time to reflect… Would the banker be the same conceited person? Would the student still be greedy? And what would be the consequences?
