Скачать или смотреть Yom Ha'Shoah by Julian Loida: A Memorial for Holocaust Remembrance Day feat. The Bach Chaconne

This piece is my personal dedication to the victims of the Holocaust. This multimedia piece combines an interview with Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach with Johann Sebastian Bach’s D minor Chaconne played on vibraphone by myself, Julian Loida.

Carlebach gives a unique look at how one can go about dealing with the history of the Jewish tragedy (and possibly all tragedy) in his response to a question from a Russian Rabbi asking, “Why Are You So Happy?” as this rabbi understands sadness and mourning to be the correct response.

Recorded on May 14, 2015.
