Programme notes *: The Israeli folk songs "Ma Averech" and "Zemer Atik" are jewels of Israel's traditional music, reflecting both the country's rich cultural history and its vibrant present. These songs are not only musical masterpieces, but also bear deep emotional and historical significance for the Israeli people. "Ma Averech", translated as "How shall this child be blessed", is a deeply moving and sentimental song that expresses the hopes, dreams and blessings for a newborn child. The lyrics reflect the deep connection of Israeli culture to family, tradition and faith. This connection is also reflected in the melody, which conveys a mixture of solemnity, tenderness and hope. "Zemer Atik", which means "Old Song", is another important piece of Israeli folk music. This song is characterised by its nostalgic atmosphere, evoking memories of times gone by, old traditions and the beauty of the past. The melody of "Zemer Atik" is characterised by a graceful simplicity that evokes a deep emotional resonance in the listener and embodies the cultural identity of Israel. Ben Christon, a talented arranger for wind band, has taken these two important Israeli folk songs and arranged them for wind band. His arrangement combines the traditional elements of these songs with the powerful sound palette of a wind band, giving them a new dimension and expressiveness. Christon's sensitivity to the musical nuances and his ability to capture the essence of the original compositions are evident in his arrangement. He impressively expresses the emotional depth and cultural significance of "Ma Averech" and "Zemer Atik" while giving them a contemporary flavour that appeals to audiences. Christon's arrangement allows wind bands to experience and present the beauty and depth of these Israeli folk songs in a unique way. His imaginative interpretation allows musicians to honour Israel's rich cultural heritage while offering a sonic variety and intensity that touches and inspires audiences. Overall, Ben Christon's arrangement of "Ma Averech" and "Zemer Atik" for wind band is a remarkable artistic achievement that presents the timeless beauty and cultural significance of Israeli folk music in a new and captivating form. It reminds us how music can build bridges between different cultures and generations and how it can touch our hearts, regardless of our origin or background.
