Language: Hebrew Music: Avihu Medina Text: Psalms CXLVII, v.12-13 Based on a text from the Psalms, the celebratory mood of this song is definitely Middle Eastern. Music: Traditional / Moshe Denburg An original instrumental, two kinds of rhythms/melodic styles are married here — an Arabic debka (line dance) and a Klezmer 2/4. Are you from the bride's or the groom's side? Adapted and Arranged from the traditional Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) repertoire. A romantic serenade in a sweet new arrangement. Adapted and Arranged from the traditional Yiddish repertoire. Here is a song about how Mama and her friend Yome finally figure out that Mama's little girl is much more interested in a bridegroom than in a new dress. Adapted and Arranged from the traditional Ladino repertoire. A romantic story-song in Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) — there were three little sisters; two got married; one fooled around; her father was uptight; sends her to a faraway island (Rhodes); builds a lonely castle for her; one day a knight comes calling by chance, and they find significant otherness. A real Jewish story! :-) This new arrangement utilizes two rhythms — a Greek 7/8 for the verses, and a Spanish 6/8 for the choruses. Music and Words: Mark Warshawski Coda: Moshe Denburg Language: Yiddish A classic Yiddish folk song describing a classroom scene in which little children are given their first lessons in the Hebrew alphabet. The coda, sung without words, is a newly composed piece. Adapted and Arranged from the traditional Klezmer repertoire. A Klezmer tune, dressed up with scat singing and virtuoso Accordion chops. Language: Hebrew Music: Moshe Denburg Text: Proverbs XXXI A song of praise for the woman of the house, traditionally sung by a husband to his wife upon his return from the Synagogue on the eve of the Sabbath (Friday evening). Language: Yiddish Music and Words: Nokhem Sternheim (1879 - WW II) A song of adoration and love for Malkele — she is without peer in every category. An uptempo Klezmer treatment with an Arabic 'belly dance' episode thrown in just to unhinge it all. Language: Hebrew Music: Moshe Denburg Lyrics: Moshe Denburg and Simon Ophir An original piece, dealing with unrequited personal yearnings for the joys of life and love. The work is a marriage between the sound of the Hebrew language and the soft swing of Bossa Nova. Language: Hebrew Music: Traditional (O Waly Waly) Lyrics: Moshe Denburg and Simon Ophir Original Hebrew lyrics to an old folk favourite dealing with personal reflections on love and its losses. A new arrangement of a traditional heart song. Language: Hebrew Music: Moshe Denburg Text: Adapted from the Song of Songs Based on texts from the ancient Song of Songs, here is an original Worldbeat number; the chorus goes — Set me as a seal upon thine heart, As a seal upon thine arm, For love is strong as death.
