Bio
.. Le groupe Chirei Yeruchalaim (Chants De Jérusalem) souhaite perpétuer la tradition de musique liturgique des Juifs du Proche Orient sous sa forme la plus pure. La combinaison des paroles de louanges de Dieu à des mélodies orientales inspire un état de taarab, ou extasie, qui est au cœur de cette musique profondément dévotionnelle. Ce groupe joue un répertoire de Piyutim, ou poésie liturgique hébraïque originaire du Proche Orient. Les textes reposent sur des versets de Tehillim (psaumes) ou de la Thora. Parfois les paroles évoquent le bon chemin que l’homme doit emprunter dans la vie (ex. Ben adam lama tidag al ha damim, ve lo tidag al ha yamim – fils de Adam, pourquoi tu t’occupes des besoins matériels, sans t’inquiéter pour les choses spirituelles?). Le plus souvent les paroles sont des louanges de Dieu. Ces mélodies sont largement tirées de la musique classique du Moyen Orient, des Mouwachahat (forme de poésie andalouse classique), des aires Egyptienne de Um Kalthoum et Abdel Wahab. Les chants s’articulent autour d’une question-réponse entre un soliste et une chorale. La virtuosité des chanteurs solistes et des musiciens est hautement appréciée. L’orchestre est composé d’instruments du Takht, la formation traditionnelle de la musique arabe classique qui repose sur cinq instruments : le nai (flûte en roseau), violon, quanun (harpe), riq (tambourin), et oud (luth). Les timbres des instruments mélodiques se complimentent et s’équilibrent à partir des contrastes entre deux instruments à cordes piquées (oud et qanoun), et deux instruments au son prolongé (nai et violon). Les mélodies sont généralement jouées en unisson, avec chaque instrument jouant les embellissements et les nuances propres à son caractère. Les improvisations sont courantes et basées sur le système des modes utilisés dans la musique classique arabe, les maquamat. Chirei Yeruchalayim est un projet qui a été créée en 2005 par le hazan Yoav Bchiri et le musicien Joshua Levitt. Le répertoire de cet enregistrement appartient à la tradition des sépharades de Jérusalem, la plus ancienne communauté juive d’Israël, composée largement de Syriens originaires d’Alep. Selon la tradition, dans les Synagogues du quartier de Nahlaot (rivières), on chante les soirs de shabbat plusieurs heures d’affilée. En hiver, quand le soleil se couche tôt, les fidèles se rassemblent au milieu de la nuit pour chanter les Bakachot (louanges) jusqu’à l’aube. En été, quand la journée est plus longue, les chants ont lieu l’après- midi. Avec cet enregistrement, nous espérons vous faire partager un peu des sentiments et des saveurs de cette belle tradition musicale. .. .. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENGLISH .. .. Chirei Yerushalayim (Songs of Jerusalem) is an ensemble that aims to perpetuate the tradition of Middle Eastern Jewish liturgical music. Devotional lyrics are combined with moving eastern melodies to inspire the listener to achieve what is called a state of taarab, or musical ecstasy, an idea at the heart of this repertoire. The repertoire consists of piyutim, liturgical Hebrew poetry from the Mid East. Verses from Psaumes or the Torah are often used. In some of the texts, moral principles are conveyed, explaining the proper path of conduct man should adapt (Ben adam lama tidag al ha damim, ve lo tidag al ha yamim – Son of man, why do you worry about your daily affairs, without concern for spiritual matters?). Most of the lyrics are songs of praise. The melodies come mainly from Middle Eastern classical music such as Muwashahat (classical andalusian song form), songs sung by Um Kalthum, and songs by Egyptian composers such as Abdel Wahab. Question and response form is often used between the lead singer and a chorus. Singers and musicians demonstrate their virtuosity in complex improvisations which are based on the classical Arabic modal system of Maqamat. The group is composed of the instruments found in the Takht, a traditional instrumentation consisting of the Oud (lute), Violin, Nai (reed flute), Riq (tambourine), and Qanun (zither). These instrument timbres compliment each other by virtue of their contrasting colors: two instruments which play sustained and bowed sounds (Nai and Violin), and two instruments which play short, plucked sounds (Qanoun and Oud). Melodies are generally played in unison, each instrument playing in its distinctive style and with its own specific embellishments. Chirei Yeruchalayim is a project created in 2005 by Hazan Yoav Bchiri and musical director Joshua Levitt. The repertoire played on this recording comes from the Sephardic community of Jerusalem, one of the oldest Jewish communities in Israel, historically linked to the Jewish community of Allepo, Syria. In the neighborhood of Nahalot, in central Jerusalem, on Shabbat (Sabbath) evenings in winter, men congregate late at night to sing Bakashot (songs of praise) until dawn. In summer when the days are long, this is done in the afternoons. With this project, we hope to share the spirit and color of this beautiful musical tradition -

From Sydney Town,
In uni. break,
I drove out west
To earnings make
Onion picking,
On the fields
Of Echuca,
That year’s yields.
After day’s work,
From Y.H.A.,
A group of us
Would not delay
To walk on down
To the dirt rim
Of the Murray,
For a cool swim.
On one such day,
I do declare,
Some three of us
Had a big dare
To swim across,
From state to state,
The wide Murray -
I took the bait.
Yes, foolishly,
I took the bait -
A choice that I
Would come to hate,
For I almost
Did drown that date,
Making the swim
From state to state.

Poem 187 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(see my blog for details): A SOUTH SHIELDS WALKABOUT - AUTUMN 2001
Out of the museum-and-gallery
(Wiser on Cookson and the local way),
Down Ocean Road with, to the right of me,
Its eateries and, left, neat places to stay;
Before, on either side, Marine Parks -
The southern-one a most beautiful place,
Teeming with moorhens, swans, grebes and mallards
In a small lake at a scenic-hill’s base.
Then (holding chips from the parade’s cafe
And, thus, a flock of gulls squawking above)
Onto the South Pier I made my way:
Seeing seaweed over rocks - like a glove -
And high-and-dry sands held from transgression
By growth of grass and the weaving of wood,
Plus, in the dim light of a sleepy sun,
Fishing boats returning to Tynemouth’s hood.
