Beschreibung
Rozhinkes mit mandlen by Abraham Goldfaden is one of the most famous Yiddish
lullabies. It is about a mother's longing for a better future for her child.
Rozhinkes (raisins) and Mandlen (almonds) are symbolic of well-being and
prosperity. In this choral version by Ludwig Böhme for solo voice, SATB and
piano, and which lasts 3.5 minutes, the feast is presented in a
through-composed arrangement with a richly-textured piano accompaniment.
Constantly flowing waves of quavers, inspired by the swaying Aylyulyu, and
the added affectionate motif Yidele shlof make the romanticism of the song
sound almost symphonic.
Yiddish Choral Series
Series Editors: Samuel Seifert and Ludwig Böhme
Yiddish folk songs explore the complete range of human emotions, powerfully
expressing all that the Jewish people have loved, embraced and endured. Since
their origins in the 14th century, the songs have traditionally been passed
on to each generation as words and melodies alone. The Yiddish Choral Series
now makes this music available for the first time in stunning new
arrangements for choirs.
Series Editors Samuel Seifert (a member of Ensemble Rozhinkes) and Ludwig
Böhme (director of the Leipzig Synagogal Choir) have commissioned a range of
renowned international arrangers to illustrate the huge variety of creative
responses to Yiddish songs: from simple choral settings to expansive,
through-composed concert arrangements, and from typical Yiddish harmonies to
aleatoric composition.The Yiddish Choral Series, which allows choirs
everywhere to discover the fascinating world of Yiddish song, features:
A range of choral styles and levels of difficulty, to suit all programming
requirements
Informative introductions to each piece
Transliterated Yiddish lyrics, with poetic translations into English and
German alongside the original Hebrew text
