As every month in Adar, the singer Aharon Razel surprises with a musical delivery – and this time it is a song with an optimistic rhythm with an amusing clip in the spirit of the days of Adar: ‘Just one more tune’.
Why is it important to cooperate with the seventh census of Israel?
“There are melodies that sit in the drawer for a while, until they come out, and there are those that are forgotten in the drawer for many years,” Aharon reveals. “The new melody is one of them: it was written one winter Friday, on a crowded bus from Jerusalem to Safed, more than two decades ago!”
Yes, if you make a quick calculation, it happened somewhere 24 years ago, in the days of his pre-debut album The Burning Burning.
Razel, then a young artist, would improvise new tunes at every opportunity, write and record them and come back for goodness sake. Razel also received the inspiration for the words of “just one more melody” from Rabbi Carlebach.
“I had a yellow booklet in home printing, published by a friend. A booklet with stories and sayings of the dancing Rebbe. short. Simple and to the point: ‘Just one more tune! Just one more song! Just one more prayer! ”
The words were written in the booklet ‘Depth of the Heart’, edited by Rabbi Yahad Yosef Lev HaCohen Witt, and Aharon added and completed words.
On the way to Aharon’s 13th album (“Bar Mitzvah”), he embarks on a crowdfunding venture for the album. After the last two years the hallucinatory reality was beyond imagination and the world of art as a whole was shaken, Aaron clung to the pulsating power of art and continued to sit at the piano, guitar and stander, to create a new-old Jewish melody from the heart and soul.
And yet, by the grace of God during this period, a number of songs (Moed Katan, Ahuvia, Bnei Brak) were born and were embraced by the audience.
Therefore, Aharon invites his music fans to take part in the work – in advance purchase of the new album, or of his book ‘Life as a melody’ or one of the diverse and special gifts offered in the project, such as Aharon’s melody for your use, composing lesson, musical direction meeting and other gifts.
