Dascha Dauenhauer's score now digitally available.

MNRK Music Group has released Dascha Dauenhauer's score to Golda. The original motion picture soundtrack is now everywhere digitally available and you can listen to it on streaming services such as Spotify, Deezer, Apple Music and Amazon Music. The film is directed by the visionary Guy Nattiv and is starring Hellen Mirren Zed Josef and Live Schreiber. Experimentation is the heart of the soundtrack's creation, with Dauenhauer using cow bells as pitched percussion instruments, recording a custom-made library, adding an unforgettable dimension to the score. In Golda, the music transcends being a mere accompaniment and instead emerges as a character in its own right. As the film unfolds, the soundtrack weaves itself intricately into the story's fabric, elevating every scene and stirring the soul of the audience.

Included on the album is a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Who By Fire” by Elias Abid and Ysa. Delivering a hauntingly beautiful rendition of the song, the duo capture Cohen’s masterful lyricism through their innovative yet timeless performance of this extremely poignant and spiritual song in reference to the “Un’taneh Tokef Kedushat Hayom,” a Hebrew prayer chanted on Yom Kippur.
