The Sephardic culture originates from the Jewish population of Spain that was banished at the end of the 15th century and afterwards spread to the whole of the Mediterranean area, the Balkan and North Africa. Its unique Spanish dialect Ladino was preserved, finding musical expression in ballads, lyrical and paraliturgical songs for the most part. The choir conductor and composer Ohad Stolarz took eight of these Sephardic Folk Songs and arranged them as a cappella settings for four-part mixed choir. These arrangements may be performed both as a cycle and individually, being also suitable for non-professional choirs due to their lack of difficulty. The musically and harmonically colorful, partly also exotic pieces therefore present an enrichment for the program of every interculturally interested choir. The informative preface and the translations of the lyrics into German and English enable the content-related engagement with Sephardic culture, too. Further choral literature on this topic can be found in the volumes Sepharad and Aschkenaz by Alon Wallach.Audio samples: RIAS Kammerchor, dir. Justin Doyle, recording by Deutschlandfunk KulturSephardic Folk Songs, also suitable for non-professional choirs.

A group of these a cappella pieces in a concert would be a most attractive proposition.(Jeremy Jackman, Choir and Organ)Sephardic Folk Songs, also suitable for non-professional choirs.

Alon Wallach was born in 1980 in Jerusalem, Israel. His musical education began with the violin, and later he developed as a guitarist, completing his degree at the music academy in Stuttgart, Germany. Early in his studies, Wallach joined Asamblea Mediterranea, an ensemble specialized in the music of the Sephardic Jews. Beginning as lead guitarist, Wallach is now also the arranger and musical director of the ensemble.The Jews who have settled in Spain (Ivrit: Sepharad) since the beginning of the common era, called themselves Sephardim. Sephardic music has its roots in Spain, where between the 12th and 15th century a unique symbiosis of Muslim, Christian and Jewish culture developed. This edition will give choirs the opportunity to learn more about the extraordinary world of sephardic music.Further choral literature on this topic can be found in the volumes Aschkenaz by Alon Wallach and Sephardic Folk Songs.
