Shana tova!
This Sunday night on “The Lost Chord,” to coincide with the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, we celebrate the High Holidays with several works highlighting the shofar, a ram’s horn blown as a symbolic call to worship during the holiday season.
We’ll hear “Call of the Shofar,” for trombone quartet, by Matthew H. Fields (including a pre-performance demonstration by the composer); “Shofar Service,” for baritone, trumpets, shofar, and chorus, by Herman Berlinski (from the Milken Archive of Jewish Music Series, on the Naxos label); and “Tekeeyah,” for shofar, trombone, and orchestra, by Meira Warshauer Composer (on a Navona Records/PARMA Recordings release).
Get ready to party like it’s 5779. Horn in on the High Holidays with music for the shofar – “Have a Blast,” this Sunday night at 10:00 EDT, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
