Kaddis is an ancient Jewish prayer that mourners tell for 11 months straight for their deceased loved ones. This is one of the most important pillars of the Jewish liturgy.
Composer Sándor Födő – for the first time ever int the world – used the full Aramaic text of the prayer in his work. Even in the movements, he is uniquely used other traditional Hebrew prayer texts for his creation. He also wrote music for the poems about the Israeli-Hungarian poetess Hanna Szenes, who died a heroic death in 1944 at the age of 23,which were written by the Hungarian poet Ernő Szép, who also has Jewish origin and suffered a troubled fate.
Sándor Födő is an Artisjus – who is a multiple Fonogram Award , platinum and gold records winner – composer and musician. He is the composer of numerous records, films and plays (Radnóti Theatre: The Caretaker, Szeged Contemporary Ballet: Credo, Rózsavölgyi Salon: The Unknown), and also contributed as a musician to the productions of Gábor Presser, Charlie and Zorán, among many others.
