Hashiveinu (Jeffrey Klepper, arr. Peter Pundy after Mary Feinsinger) [Excerpt]

The music ideas in Feinsinger's arrangement of Klepper's Hashiveinu are brought to a stunning completion by arranger Peter Pundy. From the metaphorical bells that instantly establish a mood of intimate mystery at the opening, to the contemporary and rhythmic drive that supports the vocal line soaring "chadeish yameinu k'kedem", this gem sparkles in your ears and soul only to come to its wistful close, leaving you literally longing for the final return [to G-d] sought by the prayer.
