T'filat Tal Tein - Prayer for Dew - תפילת טל
This beautiful poem attributed to the 6th-century poet, Eleazar Kalir, pleads for the dew to come, and provide a successful harvest. Dew, as much as rain, was essential for the crop to grow.
The melody is composed by the modern British composer, Stephen Levey, to draw the listener's imagination to the vast English countryside.
The middle section is a short niggun (wordless melody), that I introduced, to engage the congregants in participation and song.
Together with the gorgeous venue provided by New London Synagogue, it was the perfect combination of serenity and spirituality.

Chryzantemy Złociste - Polish Tango (Golden chrysanthemums)
Просмотров 423Год назад
Between the two world wars, there was a flourishing cultural exchange. The enticing and alluring sound of tango made its way to Europe, where many composers were captivated by its sound. In Poland, they composed many original tangos, and this one was the last tango composed in Poland between the wars. This concert was part of a musical exchange where we played Argentinian Klezmer, and Polish Ta...

In Der Finster - Rehearsal
Просмотров 2965 лет назад
After a week of Yiddish repertoire at the Golden Peacock, my head was exploding with music. But one song completely stood out. So much so, that on the last day, I just HAD to record it. Unrehearsed, unpracticed, badly accompanied, and all the mistakes possible, yet it managed to stir in me feelings throughout the week.

Harry Style - pianist This interpretation I first heard from Roni Ginosar, when she auditioned in the Israeli version of Idol. It completely blew me away with her sensitive approach to music and great delivery. At some point, I knew I wanted to perform this song! This is only a rehearsal to prepare for a ceremony, and we thought was fun to record. The original song is of course "La foule" by no...

Simcha dancing at a wedding, AND leading the dance at the same time! There were other great song choices (MASHIACH MASHIACH), but this one was a special request of the mother. Anything is possible and doable, with positive thinking and a professional crew!

Every man has a name. A beautiful Israeli song written by the poet Zelda, and composed by Hanan Yovel. This enchanting song was sung at City Hall at the ceremony marking International Holocaust Memorial Day, in the presence of the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and all the London Mayor Boroughs. Accompanying on guitar is the great Eyal Pik.

This song was made famous by the great Yemenite singer, Shoshana Damari. A true example of the multi-culture that is Israel. This song was performed as part of the Limmud Conference 2016, accompanied by the talented Limmud House Band, as part of my programme "What is Israeli Identity?".

Yasher-koyekh Yoav! May I ask who you learned the song from? You sing it (I believe correctly) as "in der fintster, VEYT fun dir mit shtiler ru", as did Adrienne Cooper a"h, whereas it is otherwise almost universally sung as "VAYT fun dir" (I believe erroneously, tracing back to a misreading and misunderstanding of the line).
Hey @arelev, thanks for the comment. This was actually at a Yiddish Summer School (which would explain the diyuk of Yiddish), at Di Goldene Pavane in London. It was with the great Shura Lipovsky and an important initiation into the Yiddish song world
So happy to hear a younger generation embrace and hopefully truly learn yiddish.
א גרויסע דאנק! Thank you. Since then, I embraced lots of languages and cultures, however Yiddish will always be the mamaloshn
Oh, beautiful, lovely. Thank you so much! To be honest, whether the music evokes dew, the countryside, or whatever is for me rather irrelevant. I agree with the comment below that appeals to the largely subjective nature of music, or at least what it *evokes*. I can hear there echoes of English folk rhythms, but also a distinctly traditional Jewish musical flavour too. And, yes, as someone with Welsh connections the harp goes down extremely well. I like all that. But I like most of all the gentle sensitivity of young people combining with great sensitivity to create this beautiful piece. And, yes, it is a performance. It is a performance for G-d, but also to express and honour an ongoing and vital irrepressible Jewish presence in the world, including the natural world. Sorry to disagree with another contributor, but I really think it does not need a congregation or an audience here! So - at this difficult time since October 7 2023 - thank you, thank you again. And may G-d bless you and keep you and your loved ones safe in His eternal loving care.
Gosh, Paul, thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely comment. I am so glad the entire video moved you to write these beautiful thoughts. Everything in it was chosen with love and care, making sure to bring out the best in the music and the emotions. Hope you will like other videos coming out. Thank you again
A beautiful performance of a very meaningful and beautiful poem . A suggestion: this video would have a much wider audience - which it deserves - if you provided English subtitles for the words.
Thank you Jerome for the beautiful comment and thoughts. It is a great idea! I wish I had the luxury of time to do it! Maybe one day it I will hire someone to insert the translation in subtitles...
Haha, I got my song 😂
Great singing
Amazing Performance!
Thank you so much, very glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful. Sung perfectly.
Thank you @WilliamAndScout. Very glad that like it! :)
Lovely!
Thank you Julian!
Beautiful! Thank you
This is just so beautiful. I have only just discovered Tefilat Tal and this composition (sung by male singers in another recording) is the first that I have heard. Before I found out who the composer was - as well as being very haunting, and evocative, the melody ( and countermelody) seemed also to be so interesting musically and as far as I can make out is in three different modes of the same key - Dorian, Aeolian and major (not sure if this is correct)- and reminded me so much of some of the more beautiful of the English folk song melodies. If the intention is to give a picture of the rural Britain in springtime then this is exactly how I felt when listening to it! Lovely also to hear one part sung by a woman.....
Caroline ! This comment is so well thought out and considered. Loved the idea around the Aeolian, Dorian and Ionian which I had not considered before. You should ask @stephenlevey who commented in here, or email him. His page is linked at the bottom of the description
Beautiful, intimate performance which definitely evokes spring and the morning dew. There is such a tenderness and intimacy which would have been lessened if more performers and instruments etc had been added. The harp works perfectly and really allows the voices to shine; nothing more is needed! I used this as a lullaby, and it worked wonderfully, so thank you! Mazleltov on a very special performance, I feel very lucky to be able to watch this any time. All very talented people! Laila tov xx
Ha! Never thought of it as a lullaby, and everyone will find a different aspect to it. Love that we can inspire you to listen to good Jewish music, and happy to have put this online ❤️
@Yoav Oved thanks so much 🙏 ☺️ and yes, indeed some of the very best musicians ever have been jewish! Bob Dylan (Zimmerman) and Leonard Cohen are my two all time favourites. True poets, true musicians, true originals. Looking forward to watching more of your videos, I have subscribed and have shared with friends and family ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous setting ❤
It really is! Thank you David
Beautiful! Well done Yoav and Ayala
Thank you Ashley! As a music lover, your words mean a lot
Well done, amazing performance!
I thought that was absolutely beautiful. Not sure that I wanted to see all the add-ons which added nothing to the atmosphere of the music. Claire
They were a second thought add-ins, but completely see you point, Claire. Thank you for your valuable input
This is, I think, stunning and evocative and quite beautifully sung. I feel the coming season, the hearing and the sense of a world about to burst into a brighter future. Thank you
Wow, thank you! Such a great vision for a world to come!
Music is subjective. When composing this music I took a different view. This is very much a picture of rural Britain in the springtime. That in itself requires predictability. The music for me evokes the hills, the new life that spring brings and the dew which will help to sustain that life. It was written for a young boy and chazzan. The boy representing the future. I do like this cover of my song and thank you for posting it.
The composer's perspective always adds depth. Thank you for your comment Stephen
I have always sung this Tal since first hearing Eli Baigel perform it with Johnny Turgel at the Shabbaton. Thank you Stephen!
Where can one purchase the sheet music for this?
I find the singing beautiful and the vocal blends are perfect and both singers are to be praised. But, for me, the melody doesn't evoke the tender magic and the lively mystery of dew. It's quite a flat, predictable melody - quite unlike springtime and definitely unlike dew. If it's recorded again, could it have a congregation? It's so sad to see two people singing and a harpist playing in an empty synagogue. If not, at least an empty field!
Thank you for the comment Angela. Your feedback is always appreciated! For future recordings, we might consider putting in some congregational involvements. This is just the first of many more ideas 💡 if you have in mind something to record, please do send it my way
l'hébreu et le judaïsme vont tellement MAL aux chorales, c'est nul
La chorale est amateur et a travaillé très dur pour apprendre le morceau de musique. J'espère que nous pourrons voir l'amour et le dévouement
🥰
Tank you so beautiful Shalom
A pleasure. Thank you for listening
Gorgeous song sang by a gorgeous soul!
And a gorgeous commenter with a gorgeous smile :)
Amazing Yoav! Very moving and the sincere emotion in your voice and piano comes across beautifully
Awww! Thank you so much for being moved to the point of leaving a comment :) Hope it inspires your day forward
אני ממש אוהב את השיר הזאת. תודה רבה.
וואו! תודה רבה שאתה אוהב. מה אתה הכי אוהב בשיר?
מזל טוב
תודה רבה :)
Beautiful From Sicilia ❤
Grazie Pippo! Spero che godi nel canale :)
What a great talent you are Yoav. Alex
Thank you for commenting Alex. When it comes from the heart it is easy!
Bravo!!!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it :)
please write the poem
Hello Bita. The lyrics are taken from the middle of psalm 147. It calls to Jerusalem to bless God for He has fortified the walls. The full text and translation can be found here: www.hebrewsongs.com/song-shabechiyerushalayim.htm
You are very handsome. You look like Imam Hassan. Shabbar. The son of Fatima daughter of Muhammad saw. May be your genes from Abraham are the same thats why.
Thank you for the comment. I do have some arabic ethnicity, so it helps in the diversity. Salam Aliekum
I grew up in Kenton United synagogue (London) hearing our choir perform this incredible piece of music - hearing it once more brings back the best memories of special times in a wonderful community.You really did it justice! Kol HaKavod
Today Raba, Daniel for your wonderful comment. It is a pleasure to be able to provide a link to memories past. It is surprising to hear that this melody was used in service, as it is quite long. It must be/have been a community that loved it's music. Is it still performed on the High Holy Days?
Hi Yoav, It is a much smaller community nowadays - people have moved to Israel or other parts of London.... You are right though, most people there really did appreciate music. The choir would sing on Yom Tov and Shabbat Mevarachim and I learnt from them. As well as the beautiful music, it helped me to enhance my Tefillah experience. You have a fantastic voice - keep doing what you do
@@danielmarcus8351 Thank you very much Daniel! If you wish to hear me singing in service, I sing at Westminster Synagogue next Shabbat. It might be a bit of a schlep for you. If not, there will be other opportunities as I perform regularly in London. Please come and say hello!
Amazing job! Greetings from Poland :)
Thank you! :) It was fun to do
Beautiful!
Thank you! It was a pleasure performing this marvellous piece
I would like to find the version in Hebrew.
I don't think there is a Hebrew version of this. It might be in the Messianic Jewish traditions, but I don't know of any song like this
@@yoavoved1547 Toda! Perhaps it is a project for you?
@@lazzkacz Haha😅 Not quite so. Sorry about that
יפה מאוד!! אמיר דקל, נס"א
תודה רבה אמיר! שמח שנהנת ותודה על המחמאה!!
Czlowieku! Jestes genialny!!
Jesteś zbyt miły. Dziękuję Ci bardzo
Nie ma za co. To jest naprawde dobrze zaspiewane. Sam tez troche spiewam :) I podziwiam piekna polszczyzne :)
@@jeandevred To jest cudowne. Powodzenia w śpiewie !! Więc nie mówisz po polsku?
ja? Mowie :)
Dobze! Jestem w polowie Polakiem. Ja ucze po polsku
That's the most suprising thing i've seen in this year ;O
Haha :) surprising in a good way I hope ;)
By the way, what was surprising about it? Anything in particular?
You did an amazing job!
Thank you Captain Kornelia! It is always fun to sing and learn in a different language!
Dał Pan radę, brawo. Pianista bardzo dobra aranżacje dał. Macie państwo nuty podrzucić? Nauczył bym się tej fenomenalnej, miedzywojennej piosenki.
Dziękuję!! Nie mówię po polsku i nie tłumaczę za pomocą Google. Pianista improwizuje. Nie mamy muzyki.
VERY GOOD ! YOU SEEM A PROFESSIONAL . CAN YOU PUT THE LYRICS TO LEARN THE SONG ? THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS !
@resendizrita Thank you for your comment. It is one of my full time professions :) The lyrics to the song can be found here: www.hebrewsongs.com/?song=haleluyah-eurovision
