It is not typical of P\u00e1rtos\u2019 musical language in those years, since it is based on traditional melodies for the given ensemble, which resembles the typical ensemble of the Baroque sonata form - two melodic instruments (voice and oboe), a bass instrument (cello), and a harmonic instrument (piano).  &nbsp;The first song, \u05f4Ma Na\u2019avu,\u201d is based on a traditional melody of Babylonian and Cochin Jews. It is contrapuntal in nature (the voice and oboe get into each other\u2019s words), while the piano plays a minimal, chromatic accompaniment (as opposed to the main melody, which is not chromatic). The second song, \u201cE\u2019sa E\u2019inay El HeHarim,\u201d is based on a traditional melody of Persian Jews. This song is mostly tonal, but from time to time sudden violent bursts of chromaticism can be heard, mostly by the piano. The third song, \u201cShiv\u2019im Hema HaGiborim,\u201d is fast and humorous, and is based on a traditional melody that is sung by the Jerusalem- based Sephardi Jews. The texture of the song is pointillistic, meaning spacious and light, which emphasises the song\u2019s humor. The fourth song, \u201cLech El Teshukati\/Achot Ktana,\u201d is based on two well-known piyyutim (traditional Jewish liturgical poems): the first, by Avraham Ben-Ezra, is based on a traditional melody of Sephardi Jews; the second one, by Avraham Grinodi, is based on a traditional melody of Moroccan Jews. The character of the music for each of the songs is different: the first song is slow and dramatic, with minimal accompaniment, while the second song is fast, filled with rich accompaniment. The fifth song, \u201cMePi Ha\u2019El,\u201d is based on a traditional melody of Sephardi Jews. Like the first song, this one is also contrapuntal, having the ensemble accompany the voice in different contrapuntal lines and different orchestration.  <\/p>"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
