Published by John Fisher (A0.1349067). In September of 2023, our mens' Bible study breakfasts, in four weeks, tackled the Book of Esther. Then came the horror of October 7th in Israel and I was compelled to compose THE SONG OF ESTHER as a statement against antisemitism. When Xerxes (bass) was king of Persia, called Ahasu-e'rus ( not poetic) I wrote this religious operetta,which is dead serious about how Esther ( soprano) is taken as a queen and she risks her life to save her people. Evil, personified by Haman (tenor,) plans a pogram of all Persian Jews, because Mordechai , Esther's uncle ( no solo)will not bow before him. The 10 chapters of the Book of Esther come alive in this piece, which I hope will be sung in synagaogues along with the reading of Esther at Purim.
