All the world knows the significance of these words. For the peoples of this small land, whose anthem is Hatikvah (the hope), have known suffering down through the centuries. Today, the world holds this newborn nation in wonder as the joy of prophecy is fulfilled. The true song of Israel is in her suffering-her answer to her oppressors is the fervor and emotions that are anchored to a never wavering faith in God and mankind. This is the heart and emotional fountain that feeds the music of Israel. This program, scored by Monty Kelly, has a depth and beauty never before achieved in the presentation of these songs known and loved by peoples of all faiths, It portrays the valor of the Haganah (Israeli Army)...the reverent beauty of faith in Kol Nidrei and Eili Eili...the gaiety of a wedding in the kibbutz (co-op village)...the hauntingly sad reflection of My Yiddishe Momme and the stirring strains of the anthem Hatikvah (the hope). From the rhythm sections dance pulse of Tzena, Tzena, Tzena to the sonority of the world's largest string and woodwind sections, 101 Strings paint a sound picture that is truly the Soul of Israel.
