Sephardic Anthology of
Piyutim for Clarinet and
Guitar is a fabric of 42
short pieces based on
prayers and piyutim that
Daniel collected and
researched over many
years. He learned the
basis of this tradition
from his father, the
paytan Yitzhak Akiva.
Daniel also participated
in various projects of
the Israel Broadcast
Authority in the field of
Sephardic (Spanish)
Jewish music, served as
chazzan (cantor) in his
community, and two years
ago participated in the
Illumination: Early
Jewish Italian Spiritual
Music project produced by
Ayela Seidelman and Bari
Moscovitz.
The
anthology for clarinet
and guitar is part of a
large project which
includes recordings of
the original piyutim on
which these compositions
are based with various
artists and paytanim. The
project includes piyutim
of the Jerusalem and
Haifa Sephardic
traditions, medieval
Italian tradition, and
Moroccan tradition.
