This sophisticated¦setting is befitting of the timeless poetry of young writer Hannah Senesh, one of the tragic heroes of the Holocaust. ?Blessed is the match,? she writes¦allegorically, ?consumed in kindling flame?. The choir makes way for solo flute¦(or violin) lines for a haunting effect. Sung in Hebrew, this piece is a moving¦addition to any memorial service or Shoah program.
