Heard here in a live-performance of a 7-hankerchief Yiddish classic, ANDY RAWN pays tribute to a Jewish musical tradition extending much further back than Irving Berlin or George Gershwin, both of whom used elements of Jewish folk music & synagogue chant in their immense output of American popular song. ANDY, a former student of the Super-Star MET Tenor FRANCO CORELLI is accompanied by the composer of new-classical music JOHN MITCHELL in an affectionate rendition of Yellen & Pollack's "A Yiddishe Momme." ANDY's Yiddish Coach TRUDY SIVICK also supplied the literal translation used for this performance.

What on earth has this got to do with REnee Fleming?

Hello DAISY ~

Now that you mention it, this song does have some chant-like rhythm!

Thank you for a perceptive and, as always, supportive comment from Denmark.

Warmly ~ ANDY

LADY IN SWITZERLAND ~

Both Ms. Fleming and Mr. Rawn are classical singers who are expressive in other than operatic music, so sharing news of other singers' videos can certainly be enriching for us all.
