                            The Gerard Edery Ensemble 

"Sing to the Eternal"



In collaboration with The Village Temple in New York City, The Gerard Edery 
Ensemble's latest release is an offering of spiritual songs from Morocco, 
Persia, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Spain and Portugal as well as original songs 
composed by Gerard Edery and based on sacred texts. Sung in English, Hebrew, 
Ladino and Arabic. Includes Adon Olam, Eli Eliyahu, Ya Ribon, L'Cha Dodi, Los 
Bilbilicos, To Everything There is a Season, Mi Ze Yemalel and many more with 
full lyrics and translations and featuring oud master, George Mgrdichian. 

 

The name of this CD, "Sing to the Eternal," conveys the hope that it will be a 
pathway for all who wish to enter into a musical dialogue with our Creator, our 
People and with all of humanity. The original songs, arrangements and 
translations reflect our belief that we cannot create the definitive liturgical 
format and sound for our time, but need to be ever open to the musical 
traditions around us. We offer this music with a prayer for understanding, 
tolerance and peace.
