Achron - Hebrew Lullaby (Op. 35 No. 2)
Sheet music for violin
| Alt. Title: | Hebräishes Wiegenlied |
|---|---|
| Info: | Hebrew Lullaby is the second of two works composed at the same time in 1912. It was a period in which Achron sought to create a new kind of Jewish style which while drawing on folk melody assimulated traditional elements within a sophisticated overall synthesis. The lullaby is a meditative nocturne based on a rising three note motif from a folk song. |
| Opus number: | Op. 35 No. 2 |
| Date: | 1912 |
| Artist: | Joseph Yulyevich Achron |
| Born: | 13 May 1886, Lozdzieje |

| The artist: | Russian composer and violinist of Jewish origin, who settled in the United States. His preoccupation with Jewish elements and his desire to develop a "Jewish" contrapuntal and harmonic idiom, underscored and informed much of his work. The composer Arnold Schoenberg, who was Achron's friend, described Achron in his obituary as "one of the most underrated modern composers". |
