about

In both Hebrew and Yiddish the word Niggun refers to a wordless vocal melody. The singing of Niggunim (plural) is a longstanding tradition in Jewish music where wordless vocal melodies are sung with a variety of meaningless syllables. Different Niggunim can be used for dancing at celebrations or for quiet contemplative meditation. They are usually pre-composed but can also be improvised. Traditionally, they were handed down from spiritual teacher to student. The practice originated among the Hasidic communities of Eastern Europe who emanated from the circles of natural mystics inspired by the Ba’al Shem Tov. In recent decades, the practice has become well known and practiced in mainstream Jewish culture around the world. With our wordless melody, we imagine a post-genre Niggun for the 21st century.
