daily kaddish: cajun with dog, for Marie Laveau

Posted on 17 November 201023 March 2011 by erin

Today’s kaddish a duet for horn and chocolate lab, in my take on a cajun accordion. Today my collaborator visits the grave of voodoo great Marie Laveau in New Orleans. If I’ve gotten this up in time, Mira will play Marie’s kaddish for her on her iPhone. Yes, I realize Laveau is Creole, and Cajun…

daily kaddish: intentional improvisation & accidental counterpoint

Posted on 16 November 201023 March 2011 by erin

Mira is away at a conference for the week, so I don’t know how well she’ll be keeping up with the daily recordings, but for the rest of our virtual minyan, today’s Kaddish is ready and waiting in the usual location. Last night I made my first attempt to play from memory, and the result…

I used a Seraphinoff “Halari” model natural horn with the F crook and played “Kaddish” in the usual key.

the tzaddik sells his daughter

Posted on 14 November 201013 April 2011 by mira

Jerusalem, 1961 The tzaddik, as we know, was a great collector of Judaica: manuscripts, ceremonial artifacts, and ancient pieces of junk. For him, every single fragment was precious and worthy of preserving. Each broken piece of something had matching pieces yet to be discovered. Every object had a story that had to be uncovered. If…
