On this episode of New Sounds, host John Schaefer features music inspired by, and in some cases incorporating, the sounds of Jewish cantorial music. We hear selections from Wally Brill's CD The Covenant, which combines the sounds and spirit of Jewish incantations with modern ambient, dub, and other electronic music, and manages to be both intensely reverent and danceable. Other highlights include hear Osvaldo Golijov's K’vakkarat for string quartet and tape, Frank London's Invocations, and Steve Bernstein's Diaspora Blues, a work which honors the legendary cantor Moshe Koussevitsky by interpreting Jewish melodies and other traditions.
