PERFORMANCE NOTES
s.p sul ponticello
m.s.p molto sul ponticello
s.t sul tasto
m.s.t molto sul tasto
l.v let vibrate (always as long as possible)
Highest note possible
Very gradual change from one way of playing to another
Diminuendo al niente
Crescendo dal niente
‫ס‬ "Ssss" sound

‫ש‬ "Shhh" sound
All glissandos should start at the beginning of the note value
Accidentals apply only to the following note.
SPECIFIC
Horn
Horn quarter-tones are achieved by using the 11th partials of various pedal tones.
Fingerings are indicated (for example – F:123, Bb:T1). When fingering are not indicated
the quarter tone should be achieved by adjusting the intonation with the right hand in the
bell.
Flute
+ Key click
Mix regular tone with air sound, low lip tension

Air sound almost without pitch, very low lip tension
Regular tone, without any air sound
The flute alternates between the standard and the ¼ tone tunings by manipulation of the
embouchure. The following bracket:
Indicates passages played with a continues lowering of a ¼ tone by manipulating the

embouchure and bending the instrument inward. for the ease of the performer, the
notation under the bracket is in 'transposition' – notated ¼ tone higher than the actual
sound. Therefore, fingering is the same as in regular playing practice.
Violin:
Add bow pressure to produce a distorted sound, in which the

audible pitch is gradually replaced by noise.
Extremely erratic and irregular vibrato
Percussion
Percussion should be set up in a way which enables to simultaneously play the on
Vibraphone and the non-pitched percussion (not including the G.C.)
The Darbuka should be set on a stand in a way which could then be easily removed and
played in the traditional manual way.
The Darbuka, played with hands, has three basic sounds as in traditional playing practice:
D – Doum, right hand low tone
T – Tek, right hand high tone
K – Ka, Left hand high tone
Program Notes
I received the commission to write a piece for the 2018 Israeli Music Festival after a
period of almost two years in which I've been living outside of Israel as part of my
studies, and consequently thinking quite a lot about what the term "Israeli music" actually
means.
In its original context, the phrase "Say now: Shibboleth" served as a form of border
control, used by the Gileads to protect their territory by identifying and killing the enemy
("Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not
frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him" Judges 12, 6). In a
modern context the term Shibboleth signifies the words and expressions unique to a
particular group of people.
Of all the words starting with "Sh", the word the Gileads picked (Shibboleth is Hebrew
for an ear of grain) is to me an emblem of what later became known as the
"Mediterranean school" in music. Shibboleth, almost inseparable in my mind from
Shibboleth Basade, one of the most well-known Israeli "folk" songs, symbolizes many
Israeli composers' attempts to define their musical territory, so to speak, by incorporating
"local" sounds into their works, trying to connect to a certain sense of rootedness.
One might be critical today about the approach of the "Mediterranean school", for its
orientalism and the ideology it represents. Nevertheless, I find myself, especially in the
last two years, often returning to it and "negotiating" with it through my music, only to
discover that the basic questions underlying it are still very much relevant and open. A
critical part of my writing process consists of putting myself though a kind of
"Shibboleth test", a sort of private test of belonging. This is my attempt to examine and
distill the materials, ideas and traditions which I wish to include in my work and define as
my own.

‫ו‬-‫ ה‬,‫שופטים יב‬
"And it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over;
that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay; Then said
they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to
pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and
there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."
Judges 12, 5-6 (King James Version)
