Hebrew.

Naomi Shemer wrote this lovely poem honoring the fabled city, Jerusalem. Its history and mystery are evoked in each verse and in the passionate refrain. At the beginning, Jerusalem is seen asleep, alone, guarding the Temple Wall at its center. Then we picture a deserted, conquered city, empty and desolate. In the third verse, the writer reveals herself as the latest and least of all the notable scribes who have invoked the city, those writers of magnificent Psalms, odes and poems. At the end, people have returned to the city, enlivening its streets and neighborhoods, adding new chapters to its story.

Naomi Shemer's music, with its mixture of nostalgia, melancholy, and desire, lifts her verses to memorable phrases: one does not want the song to end. In performing the work, follow the given dynamic markings and allow the song to slowly accumulate dramatic tension, saving the climax for the final refrain. -Alice Parker

Duration: 6:30.

Bassoon duo & percussion - Digital Download

Composed by Chris Milmerstadt. Score and Parts. 26 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #CMS151. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.CMS151).

9 x 12 in inches.

The composition Petition and Rain Dance is a two-part composition played without a break. The first half,
'Petition', starts with a plaintive melody that repeats in the other bassoon at various overlapping points creating an
irregular cannon. Eventually a second melody emerges; the first melody now takes on a supportive role. A new
mood created by these merged melodies is underscored by percussion. The simultaneous juxtaposition of these two
melodies, as well as the patterns emphasized by the percussion, foreshadows the main theme for the second
composition: 'Rain Dance'.
'Rain Dance' is introduced with an irregular rhythmic motif, stated in unison by the bassoons, over a steady
repeating pattern by the percussion. The percussion evolves and complements (and contrasts) the rhythmic part
created by the two independent voices of the bassoon duo. A second theme, optimistic in temperament, is then
introduced and is a rhythmic elaboration of the first theme. This second theme is an exact reiteration of the merged
melodies from 'Petition' (however in this faster incarnation it is hardly recognizable). This is repeated in various
guises and the mood eventually becomes somewhat less certain.
These two pieces represent two ideas; the plea for a reprieve from a dire situation - a drought and a petition to the
'powers that be' for intercession, and the subsequent effort to bring about the desired change by taking matters into
one's own hands - a ritualistic dance to bring forth the needed deluge.
