Concerto for Piano No.3 (“Andalouse Concerto”) (2020)

Much of the musical material in the piece comes from Jewish prayer chants (`piutim`) of the Northern Africa, Spain, Morocco and Andalusia communities tradition, going back many hundred years back in time.

Such is the main theme of the first movement, based on the Yom Kippur piut “Shamati Shim`ekha” (“שמעתי שמך”) as well as the ending motif, which is a melody from another Yom Kippur piut “Ki Gadol Yom” (“כי גדול יום”). The last movement is based on the melody from a Kabbalistic prayer before breaking the bread – “Lemivyza Al Rifta” (“למבצע על ריפתא”).
