about
Born in Venice in 1686, Benedetto Marcello was a composer and musicologist who transcribed the traditional melodies of the Italian Jews (for which he frequently visited the Ghetto of Venice), with his own harmonizations. Working because of his aristocratic status as a lawyer and magistrate, Marcello was best known for his Estro poetico-armonico (Venice, 1724–27), a musical setting of the first fifty Psalms, as paraphrased in Italian by his friend Girolamo Ascanio Giustiniani. “Ma’oz Tzur” (“My Refuge, my Rock of Salvation! It is pleasant to sing Your praises”) is a liturgical poem sung during the holiday of Hannukah: Marcello interpolated this song into his own setting of Psalm 15.

Venezia - Words/Parole: Traditional Liturgy /Liturgia tradizionale / Music/Musica: Benedetto Marcello
One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey
One of the best new albums of Yiddish and Klezmer music on Bandcamp in my opinion. The collaboration of two sensitive artists of different generations who know a lot about Yiddish and American music.
