The three pieces From Jewish Life were composed by Swiss-American composer Ernest Bloch in 1924, the same year he took U.S. citizenship. Though clearly inspired and influenced by Jewish experience, they are purely concert pieces, and do not provide any specific liturgical significance.

The first movement, Prayer, is a deeply heartfelt plea to the almighty. As Neil W Levin writes, The initial four-note motive in the minor mode, together with its elaboration in the ensuing phrases, sounds as if it might have served as the skeletal model for Max Janowski's (1912-1991) now well-known setting of the High Holyday prayer Avinu Malkenu. This prayer has special meaning in my own spiritual life, as I have been singing it since my childhood. Both Prayer and Janowski's Avinu Malkenu are cantorial in nature, to be sung with heartfelt pathos.

The second movement, Supplication (the act of begging humbly), has more angst, almost a sense of urgency as a result of the rhythmic motor in the piano. The third movement, Jewish Song, evokes a quintessentially Eastern-European melancholy. Its falling motives with bent intonation might represent the pain of the Jewish experience.

The works were dedicated to Dutch-American cellist Hans Kindler, a highly influential musician of his time, and founder of the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. Mr. Kindler was the soloist for the world premiere of Bloch's most celebrated work, Schelomo in 1917.

Though the popularity of Bloch's oeuvre has been dominated by works of Jewish connection, we should not forget that Bloch had many other stylistic periods, including Franco-Belgian, modal, serial, and even American folk. In 1927, he was awarded Musical America's composition prize in a unanimous vote, despite being regarded as an outsider by American music writers at the time. His winning work America (1928) was performed by every major orchestra and conductor in the following seasons. May we be proud of his contributions to American music.

String quartet

SKU: HH.HH477-FSP

The term ‘freygish’ is typically found in klezmer music but derives from a much older cantorial mode, also known under several other titles including the Ahava Rabbah mode, the Mode of Supplication, and Altered Phrygian mode. It is used for the setting of ‘Ahava Rabbah’, or ‘abounding love’, the Ashkenazi prayer and blessing sung during the synagogue morning services. When performed, either in synagogue or in a klezmer setting, the mode can be developed into a variety of short phrases and melodic forms. Jeremy Arden has taken this beautiful irregular scale and filtered its melodic forms through my own musical sensibilities to create a dialogue between Jewish musical traditions and the western musical canon, expressed here through the rigorous crucible of the string quartet.

With its simple, memorable melody and folk-song style, You Are My Sunshine is undoubtedly one of America’s most successful old-time music love songs. Its success in the 1940s massively boosted the popularity of the song’s singer and guitarist, Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell, so much so that it helped to springboard Davis’ political career, culminating in his successful election as Governor of Louisiana in 1944. Dezaire’s skilful arrangement retains the quintessential country sound of the original with this new string quartet orchestration.

You Are My Sunshine is een liefdesliedje in de Amerikaanse old-time-muziektraditie met een eenvoudige, volksliedachtige en bijzonder aanstekelijke melodie. Zanger Jimmie Davis en gitarist Charles Mitchell werden er in de jaren 1940 enorm populair mee. Het succes gaf Davis zelfs een beslissende boost in zijn politieke carrière, die hij bekroonde met zijn verkiezing tot gouverneur van de Amerikaanse staat Louisiana. Nico Dezaire heeft met dit arrangement de kenmerkende countrysound van het origineel op vakkundige wijze bewerkt voor strijkkwartet.

You Are My Sunshine ist ein Lovesong in der Tradition der US-amerikanischen Old-Time Music, dessen einfache, volksliedartige Melodie sich sofort einprägt. Sänger Jimmie Davis und Gitarrist Charles Mitchell erlangten mit diesem Titel in den 1940er-Jahren eine enorme Popularität. Bei Davis beflügelte dieser Erfolg sogar maßgeblich seine politische Karriere, die er mit seiner Wahl zum Gouverneur des US-Bundesstaats Louisiana krönen konnte. Nico Dezaire setzt in seiner Bearbeitung den typischen Country-Sound des Originals gekonnt auf eine Streichquartett-Besetzung um.

You Are My Sunshine est une chanson d’amour dans la tradition de la Old-time music américaine, dont la mélodie simple aux résonnances folkloriques reste dans la tête. Gr ce ce titre, le chanteur Jimmie Davis et le guitariste Charles Mitchell connurent une immense popularité dans les années 1940. Pour Davis, ce succès donna même un tournant déterminant sa carrière politique puisqu’il fut élu gouverneur de l’État de Louisiane. Dans son arrangement pour quatuor cordes, Nico Dezaire transpose avec talent les sonorités country caractéristiques de l’original.
