Asher's "A Tribute to Israel" is a medley that combines three well-known Israeli melodies: Yerushalayim Shel Zahav, Raid on Antebbe, and Hatikvah (the Israeli national anthem). The medley begins with a slow tempo and employs simple harmonies to create a solemn and reverential mood. Throughout the piece, a simple and expressive melody is repeated, and various techniques such as chromaticism, syncopated rhythms, and orchestration are used to add interest and variation.

One interesting aspect of "A Tribute to Israel" is the influence of Naomi Shemer's "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" on the composition. This song, written in 1967 to celebrate the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six-Day War, has become an iconic Israeli song, with its melody based on an old Hassidic tune and its lyrics expressing a love and longing for Jerusalem.

In "A Tribute to Israel," Asher pays tribute to Shemer's contribution to Israeli music by incorporating a variation of the melody from "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav" in the first part of the medley. This use of the melody highlights the song's significance in Israeli culture and music and demonstrates the impact that Shemer had on Israeli music. The melody is played with reverence and a slower tempo, contributing to the overall solemnity of the piece.

In conclusion, "A Tribute to Israel" is a moving medley that combines iconic Israeli melodies, including a variation of "Yerushalayim Shel Zahav." This tribute to Naomi Shemer and her contribution to Israeli music demonstrates the importance of this song in Israeli culture and music and honors its enduring impact.

A Tribute To Israel

The sweet piano sings, tender and serene,
Aching with memories, a wistful, heartfelt scene.
The orchestra swells, painting colors in the air,
Conveying the depths of emotions, beyond compare.

I'm Coming Home

Treu, bedingungslos,
dein Schatz dir stets sitzt im Schoß.
Kein Mensch kann sich erdenken,
wie stark das Band ist,
zwischem dem vertrauen Zweier,
nur das kann den Einen lenken.

Der verlorene Schatz

"un-controlling" for cello, piano and two ebows composed by Dika Chartoff (ASCAP 2022) 

Dave Eggar, cello
Clare Longendyke, piano
Christian Amonson, recording engineer
Louis Ng, recording engineer

In memory and celebration of my friend Ben who was a wonderful friend to so many; amazing son, brother and father; a passionate surfer and sailor who lost his life to suicide after a long battle with depression.

During the opening, characterized as Poetico quasi senza mesura (poetic and unmeasured), the e-bow is used as an ostinato - a constant sound triggered by a magnet that vibrates the piano strings. Essentially, it’s a noise that’s calming and seductive at times, but much like depression, or tinnitus, it’s an unwelcome guest. The second part, giocoso (lively and humorous), is an innocent and technical interlude that culminates in climbing adrenaline; such as surfing a giant wave. Finally, Lento Irrealmente (slow and surreal) is a free fall of reverberating, vibrations and letting go. The e-bow is not present at that moment and perhaps a sense of hope, is restored.

un-controlling

Sacha va bien. Elle a grandi.
Elle se demande où tu es partie.
Tristan aussi. Il a des amis.
Il me ressemble. A toi aussi.

Ce soir de mai, hante mes nuits.
Je me demande ce que je t’ai fait.
Tout semblait calme. Tu me souriais.
Puis tu m’as dit que tu t’en allais.
Je n’ai rien dit, abasourdi.
Tu es parti. Les enfants dormaient.
C’est au matin, que j’ai compris.
Sacha pleurait. Je l’ai consolée.
Tristan ma fois s’en sortait bien.
Je t’en voulais. Cela est certain.

Ce soir de mai, hante mes nuits.
Je me demande ce que je t’ai fait.
Je t’aimais tant. Tu es parti.
Tout est amer maintenant dans la vie.
Sacha va bien. Elle a des amis.
Elle te ressemble. A moi aussi.
Tristan se demande où tu es partie.
Pour quelle raison? Tout est fini.

Ce Soir De Mai

Voici ma quatrième création (remix) en collaboration avec le 'Channel Musicon'. Pour cette fois, en entendant la magnifique voix de Fabian Cleveland (Cleve),  j'ai décidé de faire un voyage en Jamaïque et de créer un reggae relax. Les artistes présents sur cet enregistrement sont Marie-Christine Tremblay aux back vocals, Pierre Larouche au piano, Alain Picotte à la contrebasse et moi-même à la guitare. Le tout encore superbement mixé et masterisé par Martin Larose au studio Septentrio.  Bonne écoute!
