| | Threads Of Blue: 18 Songs Of The Jewish Experience CD Levy, Judith CDS
In Numbers 15:38, the Children of Israel are instructed to makes fringes in the borders of their garments as a reminder of the Laws of the Torah. Symbolic blue threads in prayer shawls remind modern Jews of the presence of God. The rich, evocative soprano of Vancouver born Judith Levy (nee Chertkow) reflects the depth and breadth of the music she has performed over her career. Operatically trained in Canada and England, Judith infuses cantorial music with the performance quality of classical Art Songs. With a Sephardic mother and Ashkenazi father, Judith grew up steeped in both Mediterranean and Eastern European Jewish culture and music as well as orthodox religious training.Threads of Blue is a recording of eighteen songs that weave together aspects of Jewish religion, languages, culture and traditions, touching milestones in the Jewish religious calendar and life cycle; Sabbath and High Holidays; love, marriage, birth, death; folk, liturgical and art songs in the hybrid Jewish tongues of Yiddish and Ladino as well as traditional Hebrew.

Threads Of Blue: 18 Songs Of The Jewish Experience
$13.15
The Composer The Irish harper Turlough O’Carolan (1670-1738) was well-known, highly respected and, in many circles, revered during his lifetime. He was one of the last practitioners of the great oral tradition in Ireland and bridged a musical gap between folk music and the art music of the Italian Baroque masters. Although the small gut-strung harp on the European continent was not considered a vehicle for serious study, its wire-strung counterpart in Ireland was the official instrument of musicians in the service of kings, chiefs, and influential families. This afforded the harper great prominence, particularly among the Gaelic nobility. Carolan’s beginnings, however, differed greatly from those who would later grant him fame. Turlough O’Carolan was born near the village of Nobber, County Meath in 1670. At the age of 14 his father moved the family to Ballyfarnon, County Roscommon to work for the McDermott Roe family of Alderford House. At the age of 18 Carolan lost his sight to smallpox and subsequently encountered difficulty finding work. Like many stricken with blindness at that time, he decided to become a harper and, with the help of his father’s employer, began a three year apprenticeship to study the instrument. Upon completion, Mrs. McDermott Roe supplied Carolan with a horse, a guide, and some money to begin his professional life. Thus began a musical journey which lasted more than 40 years and eventually earned Carolan the title, “National Composer of Ireland.” Interestingly, Carolan was not regarded as a master performer. It was upon the urging of one of his first patrons, George Reynolds of County Leitrim, that he attempted composition. Realizing that he had a gift for melody, Carolan spent the rest of his life successfully traveling to and from the big houses and castles of Ireland composing tunes, or “planxties,” for wealthy patrons. It is important to note that many of these compositions also contained words. In the Irish oral tradition, perpetuated by harpers who came before Carolan, the music was important but the poetry was paramount. In contrast to traditional practice however, Carolan would write the music first and then supply the words. Although much of the poetry has unfortunately been lost, over 200 of the bard’s melodies survive. The Seas are Deep offers a sampling of these timeless melodies arranged ...
