| | | Sound of the Shofar | | An Ancient Instrument for Modern Times." The shofar, an instrument made from a ram's horn, is heard in synagogues all over the world during the Jewish High Holidays. It has also been heard outside those contexts for ages - as a call to battle, or a way for shepherds to summon their flocks. The evocative sounds of the shofar have also captivated many classical composers. Elgar, Bernstein, Gershwin and Golijov are among those who have emulated or included the shofar in their music. |
