about

The concluding track from the recording “Early Morning Star” is a lush treatment of a traditional Jewish song. “Tsur Mishelo” / ”Los Bilbilicos” is a mashup of two Sephardic songs (music of Jews from the Spanish Diaspora). The texts are quite different: a Sabbath table song and a love song that uses the nightingale as a metaphor. Drawing upon a novel reharmonization, Gluck shapes a lyrical introduction to Azmeh’s first statement of the melody. This leads to Wolper’s rich vocal presentation of the song. Gluck’s piano solo eloquently captures the pathos and longing of the love song. Azmeh’s insistent, aching plea sustains the mood through the conclusion of the performance.
