Five Hebrew Love Songs - Salt Lake Choral Artists

The combined choirs of the Salt Lake Choral Artists (Young Choral Artists, Women's Choir, Concert Choir, Chamber Choir and Vocal Artists) along with local High School choirs perform Five Hebrew Love Songs by Eric Whitacre live in concert on February 19, 2011 in Libby Gardner concert hall, under the direction of Dr. Brady Allred

Violin:
Leslie Henrie

Piano:
Laurel Enke

Text:
I. Temuna (A Picture) A picture is engraved in my heart; Moving between light and darkness: A sort of silence envelopes your body, And your hair falls upon your face just so.

II. Kala Kalla (Light Bride) Light bride She is all mine, And lightly She will kiss me!

III. Larov (Mostly) "Mostly," said the roof to the sky, "the distance between you and I is endlessness; But a while ago two came up here, And only one centimeter was left between us."

IV. Eyze Shelleg! (What Snow!) What snow! Like little dreams Falling from the sky.

V. Rakut (Tenderness) He was full of tenderness; She was very hard. And as much as she tried to stay thus, Simply, and with no good reason, He took her into himself, And set her down In the softest, softest place. Hila Plitmann

I was part of the 2012 KMEA Allstate SATB Choir. We performed this piece, and I must say, at first I hated it because I was unfamiliar with Hebrew. But once I actually learned the piece, it quickly became one of my favorites. It's beautiful and you can really feel the love between Eric and Hila since they wrote the piece together. <3

The choir is phenomenal, and let's TALK about that violinist! She has perfectly captured the authenticity of spirit of my people (the Jews). Lovely, lovely, lovely performance.

I'm glad that this choir sang at this tempo. I've heard others sing too fast that the part that goes "la lalalalalalalala lalalalalalalala..." sounds really messed up. This choir, pianist, violinist, and the conductor are really, REALLY good.

In 5:52 (Eyze Sheleg song, translates as "What a snow") I can almost SEE and FEEL the snow, amazing.

Gorgeous. Outstanding composer, composition, chorus, and CONDUCTOR. Gosh, it just doesn't get much better than this. Also, those kids at 3:31crack me up every time.
