In a world of Israel today, ravaged by daily terrors
and facing unending wars, one Israeli ensemble makes
a statement of peace and calm. The overwhelming nature
of goodness and hope that permeates the music of Yoel Tayeb
and the Ensemble Techelet is in itself a minor miracle that
such music can come out of Israel today. This is a credit to
the Jewish spirit,.... that despite all the furor and noise
of hate, and despite being surrounded by angry men,....
the Ensemble Techelet offers respite and the sounds of
quiet souls. Ensemble Techelet, started with a group of
ba'alei teshuva newly observant Jews, all of whom had played
music extensively in secular venues prior to their involvement
with orthodox religion. They combine improvisation, rhythmic
experimentation, Israeli themes, New Age and contemporary,
and jazz in a blend that produces an interesting chamber music
effect infused with Jewish mysticism. The name "techelet" comes
from the name of dye used for part of the fringes on the tzitzit.
Most of the music is composed by Yoel Tayeb, David Louis and Israel
Edelson. Three of the songs on the album "And I will hope for Him"
are arrangements of hasidic nigunim. One of the striking elements
of their music is experimentation with rhythms. Ensemble Techelet
has coined a word for their kind of music "MaYiM, which is an
acronym for "Modern Jewish Music" in Hebrew, "Musica Yehudit
Modernit" and this is an acronym you will see more in use, I'm
sure. Judith Shira Pinnolis
