专辑简介

If the core of all Jewish liturgical music is the word - on the High Holidays it is all the more so. Words are angels, messengers from somewhere deep and profound. Every word has a life and must be treated as a living creature. The music, therefore, must stem from the lyrics and be true to their meaning, and at all times it must remain subservient to the written word.

We have chosen music from our varied Jewish traditions: Ashkenazi and Sephardic; Hasidic, traditional, and contemporary; European, and American; music reaching back hundreds of years, and original music written and arranged most recently.
