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.

Piano - Late Intermediate, Advanced

SKU: OT.21124

Composed by Maayan Tal. 7 etudes for piano. Classical. Score. OR-TAV Music Publications #21124. Published by OR-TAV Music Publications (OT.21124).

ISBN 9789655050981. 8.27 x 11.69 inches.

Perpetuum Mobile, meaning perpetual motioni, is a Latin term that describes an impossible situation in which a substance has infinite energy. This situation is impossible because it violates the first and second laws of Newton.
But it is possible in music. Imagine a musical piece that is a continuous stream of notes. These are exactly the etudes in this album. They do not stop, they are always in motion and they can be played continuously.
Etudes are solo pieces, purposed to help the musician practice his technique. In this album, each etude is designed to practice another technique.
In addition, the etudes in this album are arranged according to the circle of fifths - each etude ends in a key which is dominant to the beginning of the next etude, even the last etude to the first one, and so on and so forth. This further emphasizes the infinite mobility of the music in this piece.
Once you enter the loop, you can't get out of it. All the etudes start in a minor key, as a symbol of the sadness of the matter, and end in a major key, to represent the hope, a false hope, that perhaps the next etude will take you out of the loop.
This album is a three-year-long project, in which I gathered ideas from the environment in which I live, from the people in it and from their thoughts, from life that continues all the time, and the music that will never stop.
Maayan Tal, 17, is a young Israeli musician, pianist and composer.

Ook de invloed van de nieuwere Israëlische volksmuziek la Giora Feidman is hoorbaar. Sommige stukken hebben een tweede stem ad libitum - voor samenspel of ter afwisseling bij herhaling. Voor de begeleiding zijn akkoordsymbolen toegevoegd - en op de bijgevoegde cd staan van alle stukken mooie demo- én play-along-versies, die live zijn ingespeeld door rasechte klezmermuzikanten.

Tuba and Piano - intermediate

SKU: CY.CC2686

Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Stan Pethel. Baroque. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2686).

Judas Maccabeus became one of Handel's most popular oratorios during his lifetime after its London premier in 1747. The recitative and aria is from late in the work and is a reminder to the house of Judah to not fear the nations that defy the Israelites; that God will defend and be the friend of Zion. This lyrical arrangement of about seven minutes in length by Stan Pethel is appropriate for intermediate level Tubists or Bass Trombonists.
