In the tradition of Protestant missa brevis compositions, the music of this Mass was written in the so-called stile antico following 16th-century models and known as Palestrina style. The surviving copy, in the Duben Collection, dates from 1675. Buxtehude adopted the strict form of the stile antico, contrapuntal polyphony without instrumental accompaniment for various compositions of the same period, including Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin BuxWV 76, written on the death of his father. The Missa brevis consists of the Kyrie and Gloria of the Ordinarium, so it is a Lutheran Mass; in 17th-century Protestant services these sections of the Mass were sung in Latin.

Hava Nagila (the title means ‘let us rejoice’) is perhaps the best known example of a style of Jewish music called ‘klezmer’. Klezmer music originated in the ‘shtetl’ (villages) and the ghettos of Eastern Europe, where itinerant Jewish troubadours, known as ‘klezmorim’, had performed at celebrations, particularly weddings, since the early Middle Ages.‘Klezmerâ€⠄¢ is a Yiddish term combining the Hebrew words ‘kley’ (instrument) and ‘zemer’ (song) and the roots of the style are found in secular melodies, popular dances, Jewish ‘hazanut’ (cantorial music) and also the ‘nigunim’, the wordless melodies intoned by the ‘Hasidim’ (orthodox Jews).Since the 16th century, lyrics hadbeen added to klezmer music, due to the ‘badkhn’ (the master of ceremony at weddings), to the ‘Purimshpil’ (the play of Esther at Purim) and to traditions of the Yiddish theatre, but the term gradually became synonymous with instrumental music, particularly featuring the violin and clarinet. The melody of Hava Nagila was adapted from a folk dance from the Romanian district of Bucovina. The commonly used text is taken from Psalm 118 of the Hebrew bible. Hava Nagila (de titel betekent ‘laat ons gelukkig zijn’) is misschien wel het bekendste voorbeeld van klezmer, een Joodse muziekstijl.De klezmermuziek komt van oorsprong uit de sjtetls (dorpen) en de getto’s van Oost-Europa, waar rondtrekkende Joodse troubadours, bekend als klezmorim, al sinds de middeleeuwen hadden opgetreden bij feestelijkheden, en dan met name bruiloften.Klezmer is een Jiddische term waarin de Hebreeuwse woorden kley (instrument) en zemer (lied) zijn samengevoegd. De wortels van de stijl liggen in wereldlijke melodieën, volksdansen, de joods-liturgische hazanut en ook de nigunim, de woordeloze melodieën zoals die worden voorgedragen doorchassidische (orthodoxe) joden.Sinds de 16e eeuw zijn er aan de klezmermuziek ook teksten toegevoegd, dankzij de badchen (de ceremoniemeester bij huwelijken), het poerimspel (het verhaal van Esther tijdens Poerim/het Lotenfeest) en tradities binnen het Jiddische theater, maar de term werd geleidelijk synoniem aan instrumentale muziek met een hoofdrol voor de viool en klarinet.De melodie van Hava Nagila is afkomstig van een volksdans uit de Roemeense regio Boekovina. De meest gebruikte tekst voor het lied kom uit psalm 118 van de Hebreeuwse Bijbel. Hava Nagila (auf Deutsch ‚Lasst uns glücklich sein’) ist vielleicht das bekannteste Beispiel für den jüdischen Musikstil namens ‚Klezmer’. Klezmermusik hat ihren Ursprung in den Shtetls“ (Städtchen) und den Ghettos Osteuropas, woumherziehende jüdische Troubadours, die man ‚Klezmorim’ nannte, schon seit dem frühen Mittelalter auf Feiern, vor allem Hochzeiten, zu spielen pflegten. Klezmer ist ein jiddischer Begriff, der sich aus den hebräischen Wörtern ‚kley’(Instr ument) und ‚zemer’ (Lied) zusammensetzt. Die Wurzeln des Musikstils liegen in weltlichen Melodien, populären Tänzen, jüdischem ‚Chasanut’ (Kantorengesang) und auch ‚Niggunim’, Melodien ohne Text, vorgetragen von den‚Chassidimâ€⠄¢ (orthodoxen Juden). Seit dem 16. Jahrhundert wurden die Klezmermelodien mit Texten versehen, was auf die ‚Badchan’ (Zeremonienmeister bei Hochzeiten), auf das ‚Purimshpil’ (Das Esther-Spiel zum Purimfest) und aufTraditionen des jiddischen Theaters zurückgeht. Der Begriff Klezmer wurde jedoch mit der Zeit gleichbedeutend mit Instrumentalmusik, im Besonderen mit den Instrumenten Violine und Klarinette. Die Melodie von Hava Nagila ist eine Adaption einesVolkstanzes aus der rumänischen Bukowina. Der üblicherweise verwendete Text stammt aus Psalm 118 der hebräischen Bibel. Hava Nagila (qui signifie Réjouissons-nous) est sans aucun doute la chanson traditionnelle hébra que de style klezmer la plus connue de toutes.La musique klezmer est née dans les shtetl (villages) et les ghettos d’Europe de l’Est, où les baladins juifs ambulants, appelés klezmorim, célébraient toutes sortes de cérémonies, en particulier les mariages, et ce depuis le début du Moyen- ge.Le terme yiddish klezmer est la combinaison de deux mots : klei, que l’on peut traduire par instrument et zemer qui veut dire chanson. Cette tradition musicale tire ses origines dans les mélodies profanes, les danses populaires, la musique juive hazanout (musique vocale) ainsi que les nigunim,les mélodies sans paroles entonnées par les hassidim (juifs orthodoxes).Au cours du XVIe siècle, les paroles ont été ajoutées la musique klezmer, afin d’illustrer le rôle du badkhn (le maître de cérémonie lors des mariages), le pourim-shpil (monologue où est paraphrasé le livre d’Esther) ou encore les traditions liées au thé tre yiddish, mais le terme est progressivement devenu synonyme de musique instrumentale, en particulier dans une interprétation au violon et la clarinette.La mélodie Hava Nagila a été adaptée partir d’une danse folklorique de la région roumaine de Bucovine. Le texte, couramment utilisé, est extrait du Psaume 118 de la bible hébra que.

The viol player Diego Ortiz, who was musical director at the court of the Spanish viceroy in Naples in the mid-16th century, wrote a textbook which became authoritative for the art of improvisation during the Renaissance. This textbook contains pieces with written improvisations in the tradition of the Renaissance period. Although the writing of improvisations was a contradiction in terms even then, Ortiz' pieces are excellent textbooks for the study of the structures and rules of this art.

Bakashot are piyyutim (relig ious poems) which are sung late at night mostly on Sabbaths and holidays. These poems have many spiritual and mystical influences, and their origin is among the Sephardic Jews before the Expulsion from Spain. The singing of the bakashot was expanded during the 16th Century, particularly by the mystics in Safed, and appears also in the singing of the the maftirim among Turkish Jews.These four miniatures for oboe solo are personal prayers written in the inspiration of the bakashot.Daniel Akiva is a composer, performer, and educator whose performances on guitar and lute have won great acclaim. Mr. Akiva graduated from the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem in 1981, where he studied classical guitar with Haim Asulin and composition with Haim Alexander. In 1987 he completed his studies at the Geneva Conservatorium in Switzerland where he studied lute with Jonathon Rubin and composition with Jean Ballisa. For many years, he headed the Music Department at the WIZO High School for the Arts in Haifa, which he founded in 1986, and served as the Artistic Director of the Guitar Gems Festival from 2006-2019. As part of his work at WIZO High School, he has developed a method for teaching free improvisation that has been incorporated into the music program at the school. Mr. Akiva has appeared in concert as a guitarist and lutist and given master classes in Israel, Europe, Russia, the United States, and Latin America. Daniel Akiva’s compositional output includes works for solo instruments, chamber ensembles, choir, voice and guitar, piano, and chamber orchestra. His works have been recorded on twelve CDs, the latest of which, Malchut, was issued by OR-TAV in 2014.

Comp osed for the internationally regarded Choir of New College, Oxford, and its conductor Edward Higginbottom, Rhian Samuel's What Cheer? is a bright and uplifting new setting of words already familiar to singers from popular carols by William Walton and Peter Warlock. The scoring is for SATB choir and organ, with optional short solos for soprano, alto and bass. An eminent and established song composer, Samuel has brought to this text, originally from a 16th-century commonplace book compiled by Richard Hill, her own idiomatic response to the tradition of music for Christmas. Though written for one of the world's great vocal ensembles, What Cheer? is well within the range of accomplished amateur choirs, and the effective scoring for voices captures in ringing choral sounds the buoyant optimism of this poetic celebration of Christ's birth.
