Composed by Shmuel Cohen. Arranged by Joel Jacklich (ASCAP). Jewish,Patriotic,World. Score and parts. 4 pages. Joel Jacklich #6626055. Published by Joel Jacklich (A0.723176).I was asked by two musicians friends, who had previously commissioned several Klezmer pieces from me, to write an arrangement of "Hatikva" ("The Hope"), the Israeli National Anthem for a visual visit to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem to take place later this year. Naphtali Herz Imber (1856-1909) wrote the poem in 1878. Shmuel (Samuel) Cohen (1870-1940) first set Imber's poem to music in 1887, basing the melody for "Hatikvah" on "La Mantovana", a 16th-century Italian song, composed by Giuseppe Cenci (Giuseppino del Biado) ca. 1600. In 1933, the 18th International Zionist Congress in Prague adopted "Hatikva" as the anthem of the Zionist movement. With there establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, it was adopted unofficially as then national anthem of Israel, becoming finalized officially by the Knesset in 2004. This arrangement for clarinet and cello shares the melody diplomatically between the two instruments. The clarinet occasionally switches octaves for a slight Klezmer feeling (as was requested by the commissioner) while still maintaining the piece in a serious mode.
