El Nora (Spanish & Portuguese Choir, London)

The choir of the Spanish & Portuguese Jews' Congregation of London performing on 24 October 2010 at a concert to honour Maurice Martin on his retirement after over 50 years as choirmaster. This well-loved melody is sung at the beginning of the Ne'ilah service on Kippur, as we beg G-d to forgive our sins at the hour of the closing of the Gates of Heaven. The Hazan repeats the final stanza in an ornamented form. The soloist is Maurice Martin and the conductor is Eliot Alderman. www.sephardimusic.com
