seekingferretFor snippy, A Playlist "for the new year and elul."
Throughout the high holiday season we add a prayer after the Shemoneh Esrei called Avinu Malkeinu, "Our Father, our King". it envisions this dual relationship between the Jewish people and God, where we are able to supplicate in front of God both in the intimate role of children, and in the prostrate role as subjects, and because of this dual relationship we are able to call for both God to be merciful and to be just.
There have been a lot of musical takes on this prayer. Here's a handful from my collection. There's a particular melody that is commonly sung for the final verse of the prayer, and that is the most common melody but not the only melody used in these songs.
- by Chazan Sawel Kwartin, in the traditional 'chazzanus style' of Eastern Europe
- by Chazan Andrei Zweig, an Israeli chazan whoambyr and I met when he gave a tour of Helsinki's synagogue
- by Jewish jazz musicians Mark Feldman, Uri Caine, Greg Cohen, and Joey Baron, as a meditative instrumental
- by the Afro-Semitic Experience, starting off in the chazzanus style and then adding other musical influences
- by the jam band Phish, a 5/4 staple of their live sets
