Tag: Abraham Lubin (Cantor)

ADONAI MALACH (Psalm 93) was commissioned by Congregation Emanu-El B’ne Jeshurun in Milwaukee, as part of a 1985 conference of composers and cantors, where each composer was paired with a cantor and assigned a text from the Jewish liturgy. The challenge I set for myself was to make this short piece melodically appropriate for Cantor Abraham Lubin’s beautiful cantorial style while, at the same time, at least hinting at a harmonic language more inclusive than what is generally heard in a Shabbat Service setting.
