Taken from 'Compassion' - a song cycle for voice and orchestra written by Lior and Nigel Westlake. Performed by Lior and the SSO at the Sydney Opera House Sep, 2013. Conducted by Nigel Westlake.
The lyrics of this section translate as follows: our father our King (avinu malkenu) be gracious (chanenu) with us and answer us (v'anenu) because we have no deeds (ki ain banu ma'asim-the word good is implied -ie we are coming to u without good deeds for the year), treat us (asei imanu) with righteousness (tzedaka)and kindness (hesed). and save us (vehoshienu). It's the last stanza of many that start with father and king.

Astonishing, life affirming, from the pit of darkness, supreme beauty, technical brilliance... So grateful to discover this jewel of a hymn, and, album. Blessings and Gratitude to you, for such a wonderful piece.
This has always been one of the prayers that moved me to tears every year at HHD. Listening to this version my heart is exploding with love for Avinu Malkienu
I could play this over and over again. Congrats on winning your award for this Album Lior. A person doesn't need to know the language to feel the music.
I find myself continually coming back to this amazing piece, and have shared it with many people. I love it. The most passionate … compassionate piece I have heard.
This the most moving rendition of ‘Avinu Malkeinu’ I’ve ever heard. Listened to it over and over on Rosh Hashanah and was moved to tears every time. It almost was the only prayer on this holy day. Thank you Lior & SSO. Shana Tova!
Beautiful orchestration that elevate the soul , it features all sentiments of compassion, this slow, chanting, repetitive aspect to the melody to represent the pious pleading within the prayer.
@@jacksonabello6448 The album is called "Compassion" and the label is ABC Music. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compassion_(Nigel_Westlake,_Lior_and_Sydney_Symphony_Orchestra_album)
Wonderful! I just bought the album "Compassion" for my own Christmas present. What a blessing listening to it has been. Thankyou to all concerned in the making of the concert and the CD. The live concert at the Opera House was sublime.
I have heard a lot of music and been involved in all sorts of cultural mixtures, and love to be a part of it, always... This, though, goes beyond all boundaries of the sort. WOW.
Love it - a great cultural mix, musically. Despite others feeling it was not suited, as an introduction to this style for the unfamiliar, it was in a word, captivating.
Dissonance is a style that was incorporated into the orchestral accompaniment. Many people truly adore this, however in a contemporary sense it is harshly judged. As an avid musician I loved the accompaniment. This is a song of compassion, and these techniques are used to allude to suffering. It captured the true sense and meaning of the music perfectly.
@PeePeeJones YES MAN! You are absolutely right. people dont realize the either = (major scale with flat 2, flath 6th) OR - "Minor Scale with major 3rd and major 7th) are exactly the same.. except for the end... which is a mixture of natural minor and natural major. and yes, what you said, there is a MAGIC to it, people are no longer accustomed to./.. you and I certaionly ARE!!
@@NeverlandSystemKaleb YEs, Kaleb. unless you have grown up around 12-tone scale or every other scale for that matter... you're right. it's just perfectly used in this song, and also Bedouin Song.
Our father our king. Google it for accurate translation. This is a central prayer we do on the highest holidays of awe or commonly known as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur when we ask for forgiveness and repent
As a convert, I'm playing catch-up on Hebrew and learning the songs at temple.... I listen to this over and over and I think I'm ready the next time we sing this at temple. Thanks and super thanks Maklixa for posting the words.
I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father, our King) אָבִֽינוּ מַלְכֵּֽנוּ Avinu, Malkeinu! אָבִֽינוּ מַלְכֵּֽנוּ Avinu, Malkeinu, Chanenu va-aneinu (Our Father, our King, favor us and answer us) חָנֵּֽנוּ וַעֲנֵֽנוּ אָבִֽינוּ מַלְכֵּֽנוּ Ki ein baanu ma'asim. (for we have no accomplishments [ie good deeds of our own].) כִּי אֵין בָּֽנוּ מַעֲשִׂים Aseh imanu tsedaqa vachesed, (Deal with us charitably/mercifully and with loving-kindness,) עֲשֵׂה עִמָּֽנוּ צְדָקָה וָחֶֽסֶד v'Hoshiyenu (and save us.) וְהוֹשִׁיעֵֽנוּ
I can't think of a part that I didn't like Just the motif consistency put me on my feet, never a flaw or a change in tone. Would do great in a movie about a dessert king who had to prove himself.
Dit heb ik zelf ook gezongen, de tekst onbegrepen maar wetend dat er iets groots bedoeld wordt vol met ingehouden passie: verdriet, verdriet, afscheid van liefde?
Michael Barnett Radovsky, you must be of a dying breed. I'm Austrian, I live in Australia, I love this song, my mum was Catholic, but one day I will record myself singing it. Please stop being so narrow minded. I allow Jewish people to sing the Austrian Song "Stille Nacht Heilige Nacht/Holy Night", I don't expect them to wear a Leder Hose and a feather hat. Let the heart sing to the One with many names, and let your mind focus on love, rather than material possessions and outer garments, let your mind be free of restrictions of any kind. I hope people with your narrow way of thinking will die out soon and be gone from this planet.
Sissi you are comparing an apple with an orange... Avinu Malkenu is a jewish PRAYER song. And as Lior, being jewish, he should wear a kippah while singing. Entweder man singt ein religioeses Lied und traegt dabei eine Kippah oder man laesst es ganz. Das ist wie ein Orchester welches ein Konzert gibt, aber kein Dirigent der sie fuehrt. Das eine funktioniert nicht ohne das Andere. Man muss juedische Religion kennen um es nachvollziehen zu koennen.
Avinu Malkeinu is not a prayer. In any case, there is no halakhic requirement to wear a kippah (yarmulke in Yiddish) Moreover, the connection between the kippah and song is only in reference to the Torah, and Avinu Malkeinu is not from the Torah.
This happens to be one of my favorites. I find it lacking. First the pronunciation is not according to the marks in the Torah, Second He showed no awe or respect by not wearing a head cover, and lastly this was treated as a frame for the individual and showing off of the orchestra.
This was a symphony performance. Not in a temple or shul. Nice performance, let's just like it and not k'vetch.(some ppl expect us to do that let's not be a stereotype. )
Listening to this during a time of absolute sorrow and devastation for my people. G_d please hear our cry and have mercy on your people.
Beautiful version
I play this frequently now. Brings me comfort in these difficult days. I hope you are doing well Lior. Am Yisrael Chai!

It's not an easy task to listen this song and remain impassive, while you're feeling how a huge shudder runs through your heart and soul...
Wept openly during this performance at the Opera House. So blessed to be there.
This has always been one of the prayers that moved me to tears every year at HHD. Listening to this version my heart is exploding with love for Avinu Malkienu
I was 1 seat from the front. Was amazing!

J aime cette chanson car les paroles et la musique me transportent sur la montagne de Sion et de bashan bravo !!!
I do, every year around Yom Kippur.
איזה קול יפה! איזה ביצוע! תודה!!!

Same. I sent and send it to all the people who matters in my life... 💕
Lior is an amazing musician and singer. I love this!
the way you change your vocals and languages is very talented this song is felt by the soul
This the most moving rendition of ‘Avinu Malkeinu’ I’ve ever heard. Listened to it over and over on Rosh Hashanah and was moved to tears every time. It almost was the only prayer on this holy day. Thank you Lior & SSO. Shana Tova!
What a beautiful and emotionally stirring performance - perfectly suited for the pleading contrite nature of the prayer.
Just saw him perform this live tonight!! Somehow even better!! One of the greatest musical experiences of my life!
How good is this? My son loves this rendition. Thanks, Lior.
this is taking a prayer into higher levels.
This song will moves my troubled soul when I despair.
A prayer for forgiveness that reaches back at least 3,000 years and yet Adonai hears today.
Belíssimo! Perfeito! "AVINU MALKEINU"
Amazing
Beautiful orchestration that elevate the soul , it features all sentiments of compassion, this slow, chanting, repetitive aspect to the melody to represent the pious pleading within the prayer.
Truly moving. A prayer to "our Father, our King", sung from the heart. All Praise to G-D!!
this is absolutely breathtaking! i wish i could have been able to hear this perfection live
WOW, that's was so amazing! Very BEAUTIFUL!

Amazing singing. And what a masterful orchestral arrangement. I wonder who wrote it?
Lior (the singer) and Nigel Westlake (the conductor of the orchestra) wrote the arrangement together as part of a larger work
Where to find this song or album ? I want to buy it please . Couldn't find it on Apple Music .

Beautiful...The Almighty will defend Israel...He will bless those who bless her and curse those who curse her.

Would do great in a movie about a dessert king who had to prove himself.
The song resonates with Jewish history and Jewish heartache. One feels the plea.

האם המילה חננו אמורה להיות בקמץ קטן? כלומר, יש לבטא כחוננו?

the AVINU MALKENU tune is an old traditional jewish tune to this YOM KIPUR prayer . not lior's tune .
Skillful singing. Missing KAVANA.
absolutely.
hey is this dude Jewish? how come no yarmulke? just asking not kvetchin
jag sameaj to everyone for Sukkos!
This happens to be one of my favorites. I find it lacking. First the pronunciation is not according to the marks in the Torah, Second He showed no awe or respect by not wearing a head cover, and lastly this was treated as a frame for the individual and showing off of the orchestra.
Chananiah D'Gabriel the pronunciation is perfect
This was a symphony performance. Not in a temple or shul. Nice performance, let's just like it and not k'vetch.(some ppl expect us to do that let's not be a stereotype. )
I grew up with this version and I appreciate reflecting on what was with both the singer and the orchestra.
Sounds nice but the orchestra is unnecessary would have been much better with traditional instruments.
What do you think "traditional" instruments are? This is made by and for Jews.
awful orchestration, so mismatched that it must be attributed to idiocy or ignorance or both.
Worst version I have every had the misfortune to hear.
Meh!
