Ekah is the
Hebrew word for
Lamentations, as in the
book of Lamentations in
the Bible. The literal
translation of this word
would be How or Ah! How.
When the cellist, Inbal
Segev asked me to write a
new piece for cello and
piano, and as a part of
our discussion, I decided
to compose a new piece
that reflected on the
immense challenges that
the year 2020 has
presented. The hows and
lamentations in this
piece might be: how can
there still be so much
hate in the world since
we are all equal and
created in the image of
God? How can there be
such police brutality in
2020? How and why is the
whole world suffering
with the Coronavirus
(COVID-19)? How can our
mental health, cities,
and communities be so
desolate? We can hope,
pray, and do our
responsible part to make
our life on this planet
meaningful during these
challenging times of the
year 2020. — James
