Avinu Shebashamayim — Solo voice, SATB choir and piano, with optional flute

Cantor Sol Zim's Avinu Shebashamayim, widely used as a patriotic anthem at community events and services in Israel and throughout the world, has become a famous composition recorded and performed by many top artists and groups, including the Israel Defense Forces. This is its definitive publication as a complete choral work. This stunning, powerful prayer to bless the State of Israel and protect it from harm is a guaranteed show-stopper. Whether sung by a small group in concert or by a large choir, this original Zim masterwork will bring tears to every eye in the house. The middle section includes a robust recitative, with responses from the choir, blending traditional Jewish musical styles with Zim's world-famous flair for melody. Add an optional flute or violin (part included) to round out what promises to be a remarkable moment in your service, event, or concert.
