For this first week of Apr. 2021 we choose to comment upon a lovely video/song uploaded onto YouTube platform by Olga Mieleszczuk's website on March 16 - 2021. The video is only 3.37 minutes long but it's fun to watch - it could be longer. The title of the upload is "Hebrew Folk Song - Erew Shel Shoshanim" which loosely translates to "Evening of Roses". The Israeli composer and lyricist - are not world famous - but their work speaks volumes for their talents. The composer Yosef Hadar and the lyricist Moshe Dor - demonstrate their mastery when one listens to this simple, poetic song.
Ms. Mieleszczuk's soft alto never disappoints while her steady four musicians - showcase her talent while showing their skills as well. Ms. Mieleszczuk has had a guest musician for a while - Ms. Marta Maslanka - a talented Polish lady who adds a distinct flavor by playing cymbals - a rarely performed instrument which sounds nice. The viewers' comments are interesting - especially the one in which the commenter explains that this song started out as lullaby but became a love song.
In any event - everybody will have a super good Passover Week - with the wishes for Happy Passover 2021 (the first night of Passover - this year falls on - Sat. March 27 - 2021) - to all our Jewish friends and Happy Easter - to all our Christian friends with Easter 2021 coming only a week later. We shall meet again a week from today - same channel - same time - same place!
