Description
The Yiddish Choral Series , which allows choirs everywhere to discover the fascinating world with transliterated Yiddish lyrics, poetic translations into English and German alongside the original Hebrew text.
Rozhinkes mit mandlen by Abraham Goldfaden is one of the most famous Yiddish lullabies. It is about a mother's longing for a better future for her child. 'Rozhinkes' (raisins) and 'Mandlen' (almonds) are symbolic of well-being and prosperity.
In this choral version by Ludwig Böhme for solo voice, SATB and piano, and which lasts 3.5 minutes, the 'feast' is presented in a through-composed arrangement with a richly-textured piano accompaniment. Constantly flowing waves of quavers, inspired by the swaying 'Aylyulyu', and the added affectionate motif 'Yidele shlof' make the romanticism of the song sound almost symphonic.
