On "Ijikos presyados" - (2018)
for piano
A Ladino text and tune inspires this little invention. The text in Ladino: "Ijikos presyados, / Andavos a la skola / K'ayi ambezaresh i tomaresh sensya. / Andavos a la skola / Kon el livro i la pendola / K'ayi ambezaresh i tomaresh sensya." This good advice in English reads: "Precious children, go to school to learn and receive knowledge. Go to school with book and pen to learn and receive knowledge."
