Mit Groys Kheshek (2020)

Program notes

The original seed from which Mit Groys Khesek (“with great passion/desire” in Yiddish) stemmed, was the relationship between a teacher and their pupils. Hence, the piece’s title, which is taken from a song depicting a rabbi teaching young children the Hebrew alphabet. Drawing on this model, the cello takes the role of the teacher, constantly trying to “cultivate” the electronics with different means. The electronics part, in turn, goes through large-scale processes of convergence and crystallization of the materials, triggered and shaped by the cello.
