Composed by Vidas Pinkevicius. Contemporary,Jewish,Multicultural,World. Score. 4 pages. Secrets of Organ Playing #764516. Published by Secrets of Organ Playing (A0.1164168).This is a gentle meditation on the Yiddish poem–song Es brent or "It's burning", also known as אונדזער שטעטל ברענט undzer shtetl brent "our town is burning", written in 1936 by Mordechai Gebirtig. Although the poem is generally said to have been written in response to the Przytyk Pogrom of 1936, after the Holocaust the song was often used in Holocaust commemoration or in programmes of World War II Ghetto music, both in the original Yiddish and in Hebrew translation. In this piece the tune is presented twice, both times in the right hand but the first time as a solo voice and then the second time in a more chordal texture, creating culmination. The meditation ends quietly as it started. This composition will be very effective on the program of the Holocaust remembrance events.
