Do These Tears Know

The latest original in the Westminster Conservatory Youth Chorale Jewish Music Series, the gentle descent of this delicate setting of 12th century text by Judah HaLevi is beautifully haunting. Do These Tears Know is a perfect piece to remember Kristallnacht or for a Yom ha'Shoah program. For the secular community, the piece, sung in English, connects to world events and is appropriate for any solemn occasion.
