Symphony No. 1 Living Breathing Earth
Tekeeyah (a call) shofar and trombone concerto

Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra, Petr Vernsky, conductor
Haim Avitsur, shofar and trombone soloist

Symphony No. 1 Living Breathing Earth, inspired by the rhythms and shadings of the earth, represents our planet in its radiant fullness, alive with all variety of creatures and plants, pulsing with breath. Tekeeyah (a call) is Warshauer’s call for an awakening to our true essence as human beings. It features the shofar, the horn of a ram or antelope, that is used in the Jewish tradition to wake up the soul. In this concerto, the shofar calls to all of humanity to rouse us from our slumber of complacency. - Navona Records

Streams in the Desert (2007)
Music for Orchestra and Chorus, Inspired by the Torah
Albany Records TROY973
The Torah, Jewish tradition and teaching, is likened to water. It is the source of blessing and goodness, filling all who drink from its well with the knowledge of God. I hope that this recording will help to satisfy our thirst and encourage us to continue opening our hearts to the Eternal Spirit in each of us.

"To attempt to describe this music is like trying to describe one's feelings
of awe and inspiration." - Classical Voice of North Carolina
