Song of Solomon - Music by Jeff Hamburg
Thursday 24 May 2012 19.30
Marcel Beekman & Eleonore Pameijer
The arias sung in Hebrew (written by Spanish
Jewish-medieval poets) are inspired by the original bible text.
Composer Jeff Hamburg mixed traditional Jewish reciting with exotic
Arabic influences. Playful folk rhytms interlace with graceful
arabesques and expressive melodies.
