KOL NIDRE PRELUDE, originally for viola and cello, is a meditation on the ancient prayer chanted on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. Essentially a legal formula, the Kol Nidre is recited three times to declare all unfulfillable vows between Man and the Almighty to be null and void. The melody on which the Prelude is based is said to date back to Moses' time. The work was commissioned by Dr. and Mrs. Jonathan Kagan through a New York Philharmonic fundraiser, and was first performed at a Yom Kippur service in San Francisco in 1986. It was later recorded by violist Tina Pelikan and cellist Dawn Buckholz for a CD on the Capstone label. This arrangement for string quartet was commissioned by conductor Jamin Hoffman of the Concord Chamber Orchestra for a concert featuring instruments from the Violins of Hope project.
