Five Hebrew Love Songs

Conductor Notes:

Elektra performed and recorded these exquisite songs in the violin and piano version. The movements (and timings are): I Temuná (1:40), II Kalá Kallá (3:21), III Larov (0:49), IV Eyze Sheleg!(2:22), V Rakut (2:25). Note that they were originally published for SATB choir but you will want the SA version. I’m guessing there is lots of commentary and analysis of this piece available elsewhere on the web that I won’t provide more here. Suffice it to say the singers and I absolutely loved learning and performing these, and the audience reaction was equally strong.
