Ad Adei Ad
A New Work by Peretz Eliyahu
Unique composer Peretz Eliyahu composed the work Ad Adei Ad specially for the Jerusalem International Oud Festival, based upon texts from Sefer ha-Yetzira, a mystical text about the creation of the world, one of the foundations of Kabbalistic thought. Tradition attributes the book to the patriarch Abraham.
Texts selected deal with the importance of the number seven and the three elements (rather than the usual four): water, fire and wind. The entire work is in the maqam of rast, the main maqam in Eastern musical tradition thought to convey joy.
