516-586-3433 or jamesarts@att.net
Composer Meira Warshauer’s Yishakeyni (in its tenor, flute and piano version), will be performed on Wednesday, June 6 - 7:30 PM at Hevreh of Southern Berkshire, 270 State Road in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. This will be part of the Third Berkshire Summer Celebration of Jewish Music.
The composer writes about the music, “Yishakeyni (Kiss me)” sets the first four verses of "Song of Songs," the great love song of the Bible. It invites the listener into a realm of human and Divine love which transcends boundaries through intimate merging. In this realm, all is beauty, with longing and ecstasy the poles of expression.” Read her complete notes at http://www.meirawarshauer.com/ NEW/pages/Program_notes/Yishakeyni_notes.html. See a video performance of the piece at http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=PRtPC36WRuQ.
Performers are Cantor Robert Scherr, tenor, Doris Stevenson, piano and Norman Thibedou, flute. This will be the first performance of the piece with tenor. Other works on the program are Sonatina for Clarinet and Piano by Paul Schoenfield; Trio by Alexander Zemlinsky; Suite Hebraique for Violin and Piano by Ernst Bloch; and Assimilations by Robert Sirota.
