New page

Hebrew: שיר ההפלגה

Dance by [[Shmulik Gov-Ari]]. Although the dance is only of medium
difficulty, the way that the figures of the dance fit the music is
quite complicated.

The complexity starts with the music itself, which was composed by
Alexander (Sasha) Argov (סשה ארגוב), composer of Kayits Al Ha'Ir, Teivat
HaZimra, Lech LaMidbar, and many others. Argov is "known for being
extremely sensitive to lyrics, both their meaning and their rhythm. . . .
In complex songs like Argov's, there is likely to be some interesting
tension between the poetic and musical meter."<ref>Naftali Wagner,
''Prosody Transforms Into Music'', Mossad Bialik, 2005</ref>

The choreographer extends Argov's technique to the dance, whose
comparatively regular figures mask the meter of the music, leading to a
striking entanglement.

=== The Music and the Dance ===

The introduction consists of three-count measures, two phrases of four
measures each. The second phrase starts with the singers voicing "Mandolina
Mandolina" for four counts. Some dancers count to eight
immediately thereafter in order to start the dance correctly (4+8=12),
obscuring the music's meter.

Following the intro, the song consists of eight phrases, having successively 10, 12, 9, 11, 13,
12, 13, and 12 counts.

How does the dance set down against this music? Recall the sections of
the dance, lightly sketched:

* I.A: Right hop, cross, etc., ending with "hoo-hah": 10 counts
* I.B: Two mayims, followed by pas de basques R-2-3 and L-2-3: 12 counts
* Repeat I.A: 10 counts
* Repeat I.B, except that instead of the pas de basques just rock back, forward: 10 counts

Part I has 22 counts, 10+12. The first time through, this fits exactly the first
two phrases of the music, also 10+12.

The repetition of Part I is done to the third and fourth phrases of music, which also
total 20 counts. But this 20 is 9+11, so we start with 10 counts of dance
against a 9-count musical phrase. If you listen carefully, you'll hear that
the first "hoo-hah" ends at the end of a phrase of music, but the second
"hoo-hah" encroaches one count into the following phrase.

The dance continues:

* II.A: Into the center with 2 cha-chas, both feet out, both together, lift R: 7 counts
* Repeat II.A, backing out of the center: 7 counts
* II.B: Two pas de basques followed by two mayims: 12 counts
* II.C: Rock back-forward, then go into the center, turn to face out: 8 counts
* Repeat II.C, coming out of the center: 8 counts
* II.D: Rock back-forward, then one and a half mayims: 8 counts

The total is 50 counts, the same as the music's 13+12+13+12. But the
sections of the dance do not line up with the music in any way. Again:
Listen carefully, and you'll hear the musical phrases starting a few counts
before or after the dance sections.

(It's possible to break up this part of the dance differently, putting each
rock back-forward at the end of a section instead of the beginning. But the
dance still won't line up with the music.)

=== Notes and Reference ===

The lyrics to Shir HaHaflaga are by the great poet and author
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leah_Goldberg Leah Goldberg], winner of the
Israel Prize and lyricist of Slichot, Mizmor Laila, Boi Kala, and many
others. The same lyrics were set to music by Akiva Nof; the dance done to
that tune is called Shlosha Tranim LaOniya.
