SCORED FOR:
Soloist, SATB, piano
OCCASION:
High Holy Days
COMPOSITION DATE:
c. 1988
DESCRIPTION:
Passages of resolute majesty alternate with others of quiet delicacy. The engaging contrapuntal soprano-alto duet at the words b’ein melitz yosher which is repeated by the full choir with greater intensity, echoes the reverent supplication that concludes the prayer. These words are introduced with fresh musical material to establish a contrasting supplicatory mood.
BACKGROUND:
Meir was inspired to set this text.
