Published by Schott Music
In December, 2010, Judith conducted the world premiere performance of this work with soloist Brian Stokes Mitchell, her Essential Voices USA, and the New York Pops, at Carnegie Hall. Songs of Freedom is scored for baritone, chorus, and orchestra. An edition is available for piano and chorus. The collection consists of: "Oh Chanukah, Oh Chanukah" a joyful folk melody; "S'vivon," a swirling depiction of the dreydl; "Lichvod Ha Chanukah," a nostalgic folk song; "Mi Y'maleil," a song celebrating the victory of the Maccabees; "Haneirot Halalu," a reverent melody about candle lighting and "Maoz Tzur," a hymn which thanks the Rock of our salvation for the deliverance of the Jews from the Syrian Greeks.
When performing Songs of Freedom, we encourage conductors to perform the entire composition, as it captures the spirit and story of Chanukah. However, the piece is constructed in such a way that the songs can be performed independently of one another. The solo lines may either be performed by a solo artist or by a select group of singers.
“It was an evening about love and gratitude created with love and gratitude – A Celebration of Chanukah, with Ms. Clurman conducting was a medley of Chanukah music… the entire Isaac Stern Auditorium (Carnegie Hall) seemed filled with a divine glory.”
