for SATB and percussion
This Sephardic wedding song, with rhythmic variety and lively melody, calls to mind gypsies and the Romantic Moorish flavour of Spain. It has a folk-like feel with drums, percussion, and hand-clapping adding to the flamenco flavor. The first line translates as 'Oh, the bridegroom wants no money.'

Review:

Like many of his pieces this builds up over the course of the work to a rousing and exciting finale. Wilberg always throws a few surprises into the mix, so singers will need to be on their guard, but the driving rhythms and infectious Sephardic melody will light up your concert. * Music Teacher, April 08 *
