Ein Kamocha (Gorizia)

A recitative for the Sabbath Morning Service in the Italian Ashkenazi tradition, from Gorizia. The text includes verses from the Bible, a blessing for the Torah and the first verses of Shema' Yisrael ("Hear, oh Israel") declaring God's unity. The melody characteristically shifts between diverse modal spheres, recalling the Western Ashkenazi style of prayer recitation.
