In Stacy Garrop’s inspired hands, divisi mixed chorus provides a rich palette of texture and color. Her setting intermingles three versions of the Hebrew folk tune, taking artistic advantage of contrasts between solo and tutti, homophony and grand antiphony, divisi men and divisi women, and the gradual braiding and unbraiding of Hebrew and English texts. LO YISA GOY is the explicitly anti-war Scriptural text better-known in its English translation that begins, “And they shall beat their swords into plowshares... nation shall not lift up a sword against nation.”.When Jonathan Miller asked me to write two pieces for Chicago a cappella, I knew right away that I wanted to choose two songs from my own past.The first piece, Hava Nagila, is a celebratory song full of joy. I wanted the second work to contrast the first, and to this end, I chose the somber text of Lo Yisa Goy, a prayer for peace. I remember singing this song as a young child in Hebrew school and synagogue, always in context (at least in my congregation) of praying for the state of Israel. I think we’re at a particular point in which people in a lot of different nations could use such a prayer. For this reason, you’ll hear the words in both Hebrew and English.In my research of previous versions of the melody, I discovered three variants for the tune, all of which I have incorporated into my piece.

Ariel Lazarus Guitarra Liturgia Two pieces based on music from the Spanish and Portuguese tradition. Contents: Jerusalem de Sefarad - Suite for Guitar Contrapunto Sefardi The composer writes: For many years I wanted to compose a piece for guitar which would inspire interested students to expand their repertoire in the direction of Jewish music. The most natural thing for me was to write a suite based on themes from the synagogue in which I grew up – the Spanish and Portuguese synagogue of Gibraltar. My beloved grandfather served all his life as hazzan (cantor) of this synagogue, and I always felt as a composer and educator that I had a special obligation to continue his tradition and pass it on to a new generation. In this composition, I let the guitar echo the piyyutim (semi-liturgical poems) that were part of my childhood: Adon Olam, Sh'charchoret, Achot K'tana, Yigdal, Borei ad Ana, all of which are sung in the Spanish and Portuguese tradition from Gibraltar to London, and from New York to Jerusalem. I let myself dream the piyyutim, take them apart and reconstruct them as a short suite for guitar, the results of which you are invited to hear here. As a conceptual idea for the suite, I choose to suggest about the cultural continuation between the Diaspora and the land of Israel by way of referencing the well-known melody of Naomi Shemer, which is also popular among the hazzanim.Dr. Ariel Lazarus is a unique voice among Israeli composer-performers today. Brought up in a family with Jewish musical roots both in Gibraltar and Westphalia, he began composing and playing the guitar in his teens, and has been committed to developing his own compositional language ever since, always maintaining an open dialogue with his traditions. Lazarus received his BMus and MMus degrees from Oklahoma City University in classical guitar performance and composition where he studied with American composer Dr. Edward Knight. He earned his PhD from Bar Ilan University, studying composition with Prof. Betty Olivero and Prof. Gideon Lewensohn and conducting research under the supervision of Prof. Edwin Seroussi from the Hebrew University. His symphonic works have been premiered by the Raanana Symphonette Orchestra, and his chamber works have been performed by various ensembles in the United States, Central Europe, Portugal, Gibraltar, Scandinavia and Israel. Lazarus performs regularly as Art Ambassador on behalf of the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora affairs Amiel BaKehila program. His solo album A Hebrew Capriccio was released by the German boutique label SmoothFactor and was awarded critical acclaim, among others, in Haaretz, and Neue Westfalishe. Dr. Lazarus is the musical director and co-founder of the Israeli Ladino Orchestra. His work with the orchestra has been recognized by the official Carta de España. He teaches at the Academic College for Education Givat Washington, and the Rimon School of Music. Lazarus’s work has been awarded by the Israeli Pais Art council and ACUM.

Hava Nagila (the title means ‘let us rejoice’) is perhaps the best known example of a style of Jewish music called ‘klezmer’. Klezmer music originated in the ‘shtetl’ (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as ‘klezmorim’, had performed at celebrations, particularly weddings, since the early Middle Ages.‘Klezmer’ is a Yiddish term combining the Hebrew words ‘kley’ (instrument) and ‘zemer’ (song) and the roots of the style are found in secular melodies, popular dances, Jewish ‘hazanut’ (cantorial music) and also the ‘nigunim’, the wordless melodies intoned by the ‘Hasidim’ (orthodox Jews).Since the 16th century, lyrics hadbeen added to klezmer music, due to the ‘badkhn’ (the master of ceremony at weddings), to the ‘Purimshpil’ (the play of Esther at Purim) and to traditions of the Yiddish theatre, but the term gradually became synonymous with instrumental music, particularly featuring the violin and clarinet. The melody of Hava Nagila was adapted from a folk dance from the Romanian district of Bucovina. The commonly used text is taken from Psalm 118 of the Hebrew bible. Hava Nagila (de titel betekent ‘laat ons gelukkig zijn’) is misschien wel het bekendste voorbeeld van klezmer, een Joodse muziekstijl.De klezmermuziek komt van oorsprong uit de sjtetls (dorpen) en de getto’s van Oost-Europa, waar rondtrekkende Joodse troubadours, bekend als klezmorim, al sinds de middeleeuwen hadden opgetreden bij feestelijkheden, en dan met name bruiloften.Klezmer is een Jiddische term waarin de Hebreeuwse woorden kley (instrument) en zemer (lied) zijn samengevoegd. De wortels van de stijl liggen in wereldlijke melodieën, volksdansen, de joods-liturgische hazanut en ook de nigunim, de woordeloze melodieën zoals die worden voorgedragen doorchassidische (orthodoxe) joden.Sinds de 16e eeuw zijn er aan de klezmermuziek ook teksten toegevoegd, dankzij de badchen (de ceremoniemeester bij huwelijken), het poerimspel (het verhaal van Esther tijdens Poerim/het Lotenfeest) en tradities binnen het Jiddische theater, maar de term werd geleidelijk synoniem aan instrumentale muziek met een hoofdrol voor de viool en klarinet.De melodie van Hava Nagila is afkomstig van een volksdans uit de Roemeense regio Boekovina. De meest gebruikte tekst voor het lied kom uit psalm 118 van de Hebreeuwse Bijbel. Hava Nagila (auf Deutsch ‚Lasst uns glücklich sein’) ist vielleicht das bekannteste Beispiel für den jüdischen Musikstil namens ‚Klezmer’. Klezmermusik hat ihren Ursprung in den Shtetls“ (Städtchen) und den Ghettos Osteuropas, woumherziehende jüdische Troubadours, die man ‚Klezmorim’ nannte, schon seit dem frühen Mittelalter auf Feiern, vor allem Hochzeiten, zu spielen pflegten. Klezmer ist ein jiddischer Begriff, der sich aus den hebräischen Wörtern ‚kley’(Instrument) und ‚zemer’ (Lied) zusammensetzt. Die Wurzeln des Musikstils liegen in weltlichen Melodien, populären Tänzen, jüdischem ‚Chasanut’ (Kantorengesang) und auch ‚Niggunim’, Melodien ohne Text, vorgetragen von den‚Chassidim’ (orthodoxen Juden). Seit dem 16. Jahrhundert wurden die Klezmermelodien mit Texten versehen, was auf die ‚Badchan’ (Zeremonienmeister bei Hochzeiten), auf das ‚Purimshpil’ (Das Esther-Spiel zum Purimfest) und aufTraditionen des jiddischen Theaters zurückgeht. Der Begriff Klezmer wurde jedoch mit der Zeit gleichbedeutend mit Instrumentalmusik, im Besonderen mit den Instrumenten Violine und Klarinette. Die Melodie von Hava Nagila ist eine Adaption einesVolkstanzes aus der rumänischen Bukowina. Der üblicherweise verwendete Text stammt aus Psalm 118 der hebräischen Bibel. Hava Nagila (qui signifie Réjouissons-nous) est sans aucun doute la chanson traditionnelle hébra que de style klezmer la plus connue de toutes.La musique klezmer est née dans les shtetl (villages) et les ghettos d’Europe de l’Est, où les baladins juifs ambulants, appelés klezmorim, célébraient toutes sortes de cérémonies, en particulier les mariages, et ce depuis le début du Moyen- ge.Le terme yiddish klezmer est la combinaison de deux mots : klei, que l’on peut traduire par instrument et zemer qui veut dire chanson. Cette tradition musicale tire ses origines dans les mélodies profanes, les danses populaires, la musique juive hazanout (musique vocale) ainsi que les nigunim,les mélodies sans paroles entonnées par les hassidim (juifs orthodoxes).Au cours du XVIe siècle, les paroles ont été ajoutées la musique klezmer, afin d’illustrer le rôle du badkhn (le maître de cérémonie lors des mariages), le pourim-shpil (monologue où est paraphrasé le livre d’Esther) ou encore les traditions liées au thé tre yiddish, mais le terme est progressivement devenu synonyme de musique instrumentale, en particulier dans une interprétation au violon et la clarinette.La mélodie Hava Nagila a été adaptée partir d’une danse folklorique de la région roumaine de Bucovine. Le texte, couramment utilisé, est extrait du Psaume 118 de la bible hébra que.

The title of this work is based on the name of the commissioning band: Music Society Asaf (Dutch for Asaph). In the Hebrew Bible, the poet, singer and seer Asaph is in charge of the choir in the house of King David. Various psalms, including Psalm 81, which is used in this work, are attributed to him. The melody of this psalm is flanked by a march-like initial part, and the traditional klezmer melody “Uri Tzion” features as a spectacular finale.
