My feeling for the disappearing tradition came mainly during a visit to Córdoba and Sevilla, where the alleys seemed to tell me the old story of the long-gone local communities. I could imagine a flourishing and vivid community, which after 1492 had to flee in every direction, bringing its language and tradition into new places such as Greece and Bulgaria. ​ The music tells the story of a troubadour – a folk singer, who passes from village to village, town to town in search of a certain song, while many fragments of other songs, prayers and chants appear before him. These include Jewish prayers, traditional Ladino – Judæo-Espagnol songs, talking, story-telling, as well as influences of the Christianity and Islam, since during the Golden Age in Andalucía all three religions have skilled to live peacefully and enriched each other. ​ All the recorded fragments are fully authentic, giving stage to old men and women who have been asked to sing songs as remembered from childhood. They are/were probably the last link in a long chain, since these songs, language and expressions were not transmitted fully (if at all) to the next generation. I am grateful for the work of Dr. Shoshana Weich-Shahak who, as a life-long project had traced singers and possible informants, made these recordings with such dedication and passion and most kindly, allowed me to use fragments of them. Thus, the work as a whole is a passage through time, where voices, sounds, images from the past appear before our troubadour, who does not end his wondering until discovering his long-waited song – La Serena. ​ In additional to the authentic recordings, one may find the sounds of soprano, oud, laud, recorders, viola da gamba, percussion and additional guitar, which were all recorded separately and went through a sound manipulation. This is in additional to field recordings that I have done in Spain. ​ I would like to thank and credit the following people: Monica Garcia-Albea, soprano Lara Morris, recorders Myrna Herzog, viola da gamba Guy Kark, oud and laud Liat Cohen, classical guitar Avi Agababa, percussion Sound Track Editing and Mixing: Dmitry Lifshitz, Yossi Ron Sound engineers: Eldad Berman (Tel Aviv), Marcus Fritzsch (Berlin), Pierre Fardel (Paris.) Dr. Shoshana Weich-Shahak for her kind support and assistance in locating the authentic recordings. The National Sound Archives (Jerusalem, Israel) Yad Ben-Zvi Library (Jerusalem, Israel) Sebastián de la Obra and Rosana de Aza – Casa De Sefarad (Córdoba) Through the Alleys of Time has been commissioned by the Legacy Heritage Fund, through the America-Israel Cultural Foundation, with dedication to Guitarist Liat Cohen. ​ Additional Information: Tape includes authentic recordings of singers, story-tellers, sounds from South Spain as well as recorded soprano, oud, lute, viola da gamba, recorders and percussion.

  • Contemporary Piano Quintets | Piano Quintet | Contemporary Music

    CONTEMPORARY PIANO QUINTETS | PIANO QUINTET. | QUINTET FOR PIANO AND STRINGS QUARTET PIANO QUINTET for piano and string quartet Duration: 18 minutes Instrumentation: piano, violins (2), viola and cello ​ Year Composed: 2000 ​ Commissioned by: American Composers Forum, the Jerome Foundation ​ Premiere Performance: Sarah Bob, piano Francine Trester, violin Christina Day, vioin Annette Klein, viola Mickey Katz, cello ​ Movements:​ 1. poco rubato e tranquillo 2. scherzo 3. adagio tenero CONTEMPORARY PIANO QUINTETS VIEW SCORE LISTEN Program Notes: I have always looked at the Piano Quintet medium as the little cousin of the piano concerto. The string quartet, being a unified, homogeneous medium on its own right, surround the piano and give it a generous permission to act like a concerto soloist. Nonetheless, the beauty of this medium is found in its chamber-music qualities, where all members express themselves as individuals and therefore create delicate and intimate musical moments. While writing my Piano Quintet (2000), I tried to integrate all these elements. It consists of three movements which are closely related thematically. The first movement, marked poco rubato e tranquillo , introduces one of the quintet's main motives. Right after the introduction, the movement takes a sharp turn into a faster tempo and a passionate character. A fast and determined scherzo brings out the light and virtuosic side of the ensemble. The last movement, adagio tenero is the most extended of the three and acts like an echo of the previous movements. The Piano Quintet was underwritten by the American Composer Forum, with funds provided by the Jerome Foundation.

It contained illustrations of animals, some real, some imaginary. The phoenix for example, was introduced through the Bestiaries. In his Bestiaries Israeli poet Dan Pagis, introduces six “animal” poems, from which I chose three.The text which is full with humor, gave me the opportunity to compose music that for most of the time creates a bold contrast to the written word.

Art Songs for Tenor and piano. VIEW SCORE LISTEN VIEW TEXT TENOR AND PIANO ART SONG Program Notes: Amy Lowell’s verses for children brought up many flashbacks from my childhood – a period of exploring, discovering and achieving little victories which we as adults take for granted. My approach, while composing the songs was to shift constantly between the way a child and an adult would view the given situation. The music tries to portray the psychological state of the poems’ hero and sometimes uses an over-dramatic statement, just like a kid would experience the situation. Sometimes on the other hand, things are softened, as viewed through the glasses of an adult. A Dome of Many-Coloured Glass was commissioned by Joe Dan Harper and Anne Kissel Harper and was made possible by a grant from the St. Botolph Club Foundation.
