    I cannot speak for Ravel, nor is there a need to do so, for he has spoken quite clearly for himself here and for me. His choice was to translate the words of a prayer for the dead into sounds that transcend the bounds of ordinary languages. As such, he has rendered that which was specific to one language a universally felt emotional statement for all to appreciate. I shall play this music in my home on the anniversary of the death of my only son, and to remember the deaths of my parents and those of my wife's parents, as well as others we have loved and have lost. We do not need words for this. The music is enough.

      My heart goes out to you - the Kaddish is about helping the dead rise to our maker - since we believe in rising to Hashem. may he bless you.

      I disagree. Once you've heard jessye norman or cecilia bartoli sing it with such emotional connection and meaning to the text, you'll rethink your statement. B'ruch hashem.

    Just a note that kaddish is repeated many times during a service, not only to remember the dead. I say this as someone who recites kaddish for my father, for both of my mothers (the first died when I was an infant), and for my first son who died in infancy. The point is that we remember our loved ones by praising G-d.

    Is it the same for a friendship that is no longer good to continue? Tis a tender sorrowful place to honour the lost of a precious friendship yet struggle to move on with tenderness and not harbour the hurtful words and actions exchanged.

      Kaddish is used as a prayer of mourners but it also is recited frequently, to sanctify God's name. I don't think it's limited to mourning of biological death. So yes, at least in my opinion, you should say Kaddish for your lost friendship if it gives you comfort. The melody of the Kaddish varies, and the one for mourning is always in minor mode, and sometimes in Hijaz (Middle Eastern) mode.

    In response to Musicanth and DostaiCahen, here is a quote from Ravel's artist page. "Among Ravel's completed works, there is a notable absence of religious forms or references. His habitual inspiration came from nature, from fairy tales and folk songs, and from classical and oriental legends."
    It is rather clear to "hear" that Ravel possessed real and vivid connections to spirituality.

      ***** Language is such a strange thing… Music is one of them, rational, and still, it makes feelings more acute than anything else could ever do. Understanding and loving each other becomes almost obvious, as well as spirituality.

    • @bethhurewitz5647
      @bethhurewitz5647 9 років тому

      Philippe Fritsch Music is a very special medium, allowing the listener to feel, however briefly, the quality of one's innermost self. Music speaks to those subliminal, quivering variations of emotion, both complete and unresolved, where we do not typically allow ourselves to go, if either by preoccupation with the world around us or by fear of the pain that is hiding on the other side. :-)

    Hello some years ago when grooveshark was still online i used to listen an interpretation of kaddish performed by the australian chamber orchestra but nowhere to be found today. I remember that this version was a pretty old record (tape sound with a lots of hiss and narrow stereo) Kaddish was performed in concerto solo fort a piano & a violin with double bass and cellos . The double bass was beautifuly played because they played more with the harmonics of the strings, and it was the first time i heard this use of the doublebass, it was heavy in bass and add a lot of emotion that tear the listener down. I'd really appreciate to have some info if you know this record. I Am also interested if you know other works and composers who works double bass in interesting ways. Let's share. Thank you sorry for my terrible english.

    But it is not your channel or your video.
    Maurice Ravel drove a red cross truck in the First World War, and I am sure he would be as outraged as I am by the genocide currently being committed by my government if he were alive today. He would probably compose a piece of music to express his disgust, and you would probably criticize him.
