The Hebrew translation of Dreidel, the word origins can be traced back to
a Hindu game. With the four sides of the box each having a different meaning,
the concept has been translated here musically.
The traditional melody is initially stated by all voices except bass in
unison. From here, the bass enters with a moving line that borrows heavily
from western jazz influence, above which we hear the other voices of the
ensemble in turn. As each enters, it has a unique take on the basic structure
of the original tune, but with an improvisational influence that continues as
the next voice enters. When the final voice
(cello) enters with the original tune restated, the upper voices join
forces to in a final counter-statement.
