https://youtu.be/YwbnQLU96oUThis recitative for the Amidah on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is essentially the same for each of the Tefilot on those days. In structure, it relies heavily on congregational participation, which performs an important didactic function. While this regal Spanish and Portuguese melody is strikingly different from many of the usages of North Africa, where a minor key is often preferred for the penitential period, it does have a close affinity with the Baghdad and Yerushalmi traditions, albeit with an unmistakable Italianate signature.Please like and share.A downloadable mp3 of this recording along with over 90 other tracks is available at http://danielhalfon.com/multitrack-recordings/
