1992 - Commissioned by Laurie Rimland-Bonn in honor of the 85th birthday of Esther Maslow
In the style of a classical art song, this setting of the traditional
Friday Evening text consists of a gentle melody which leads to a
thoughtful recitative, before returning again.
Composed when Cantor Finkelstein was at Sinai Temple
in Los Angeles as a tribute to the mother of one of the first
female Cantors.
Scored originally for voice, piano and violin.
The flute part can be found here.
From the recording Visions of Shabbat, sung by Cantor David Propis
