CGB1373 Dodi Li: My Beloved
Description
This arrangement of the Israeli folk song was originally a popular folk dance. The text comes from the canticle of King Solomon, or the Song of Solomon. The slow and mysterious opening gives way to a dancelike, upbeat section filled with energy. A slower, lyrical middle section provides contrast prior to the spirited ending. An optional tambourine part is included.
