The reference to Yadin Tanenbaum, a nineteen-year-old Israeli flutist who, in 1973, at the height of his musical powers was killed in his tank in the Sinai. He would have been twenty-seven years old at the time this piece was written.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Halil (the Hebrew word for 'flute') is formally unlike any other work I have written, but is like much of my music in its struggle between tonal and non-tonal forces. In this case, I sense that struggle as involving wars and the threat of wars, the overwhelming desire to live, and the consolations of art, love and the hope for peace. It is a kind of night-music, which, from its opening 12-tone row to its ambiguously diatonic final cadence, is an ongoing conflict of nocturnal images: wish-dreams, nightmares, repose, sleeplessness, night-terrors and sleep itself, Death's twin brother.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI never knew Yadin Tanenbaum, but I know his spirit.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e - Leonard Bernstein\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boosey \u0026 Hawkes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46967999693094,"sku":"9790051590896","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/D009790051590896_d.jpg?v=1697499415","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/bernstein-l-halil","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
