The commissioned Israeli work for the 22nd Harp Contest:
“Northern Wind” by Uri Brener.
The name of the piece is inspired by a quote
from the Babylonian Talmud (Tractate Berachot 3b):
“A harp was hanging above David’s bed. As soon as midnight arrived,
a North wind came and blew upon it and it played of itself.
He arose immediately and studied the Torah till the break of dawn…”
