Anthem on Adonai S'fatai Tiftach
Written by
Ron Cytron
for the installation of Cantor Ken Jaffe at
Shaare Emeth. I've written some other music.
This piece is organized as follows:
- Statement of the subject (from nusach)
- A Mendelssohn-like fugue, instruments only (organ preferred)
- Canon (extended subject): SATB in round
- Stretto: The idea here is that the SATB voices get increasingly
further apart, like a mouth opening (to sing G-d's glory)
