This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: �Shalom Aleichem� - Piano Sheet Music Collection - Jewish Songs and Dances Arranged for Piano Part 1 represents Klezmer (instrumental) tunes, which will not leave indifferent neither the performers, not the audience.The song of each nation - is the most demonstrative miniature portrait and the most important particle of the nation's nature. According to the folk melody one can quite exact judge the culture and history of the nation, the customs and living conditions, moral principles. And Jewish folk song is not an exception, it only confirms what was just said.Jewish songs have already become the property of the whole world, they are performed with great pleasure as by ordinary people, and so by internationally recognized soloists and ensembles. This music will enrich everyone, who touches it, because nothing is more valuable than the recognition of another nation's culture, promoting respect and trust in nation with centuries-long spiritual traditions!Jewish songs and dances borrowed many features from Ukrainian, Romanian, Polish and Hungarian folklore: and the result was the art of deep national Jewish character.As D. Shostakovitch said: "... Jewish folk music influenced me the most. I can't stop admire it. It is so versatile. It may seem happy, and in fact be deeply tragic ... Each real folk music is beautiful, but Jewish - one of a kind. "The authors seek to recover some unjustly forgotten, but endlessly expressive melodies. They wish these songs can help people be happy and always have humoristic and optimistic attitude towards life!

Download or read book Klezmer written by Walter Zev Feldman and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Klezmer: Music, History and Memory is the first comprehensive study of the music created by the Jewish musicians' guild of Eastern Europe--the klezmorim. Klezmer music was the unique example of an instrumental repertoire and performance style created by Jews. Its primary venue was the multi-day Jewish wedding, with its many ritual and processional melodies, its table music for listening, and its varied forms of Jewish dance. This book demonstrates the relation of klezmer music to Jewish dance, with its expressive gestures, connected both to synagogue prayer and to the Yiddish language. While a small part of this musical and choreographic repertoire was acculturated in America, this book focuses exclusively on what was most characteristic of the cultural expression of the Jews within Eastern Europe. Part One of the book tells the story of the rise of the Jewish musicians guild in 16th century Prague and its survival and transformations in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and later in the Russian Empire during the 19th century. It demonstrates how the klezmer repertoire was shaped to suit the Eastern European Jewish wedding, and devotes much attention to the nature of Jewish dance. Part Two of the book deals with both the processional and the dance repertoire of the klezmorim. This repertoire was composed for centuries by a stable combination of musical elements coming from the Ashkenazic liturgy, from the Western European Baroque, and from the music of the Ottoman Turks. Klezmer music showed a broad differentiation into a Jewish North (Lithuania/Belarus) and South (Ukraine, Galicia, Moldova), but (outside of Moldova) was not closely related to any local non-Jewish style"--

Download or read book Klezmer's Afterlife written by Magdalena Waligorska and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-09-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Klezmer in Europe has been a controversial topic ever since this traditional Jewish wedding music made it to the concert halls and discos of Berlin, Warsaw, Budapest and Prague. Played mostly by non-Jews and for non-Jews, it was hailed as "fakelore," "Jewish Disneyland" and even "cultural necrophilia." Klezmer's Afterlife is the first book to investigate this fascinating music scene in Central Europe, giving voice to the musicians, producers and consumers of the resuscitated klezmer. Contesting common hypotheses about the klezmer revival in Germany and Poland stemming merely from feelings of guilt which emerged in the years following the Holocaust, author Magdalena Waligorska investigates the consequences of the klezmer boom on the people who staged it and places where it occurred. Offering not only a documentation of the klezmer revival in two of its European headquarters (Kraków and Berlin), but also an analysis of the Jewish / non-Jewish encounter it generates, Waligorska demonstrates how the klezmer revival replicates and reinvents the image of the Jew in Polish and German popular culture, how it becomes a soundtrack to Holocaust commemoration and how it is used as a shining example of successful cultural policy by local officials. Drawing on a variety of fields including musicology, ethnomusicology, history, sociology, and cultural studies, Klezmer's Afterlife will appeal to a wide range scholars and students studying Jewish culture, and cultural relations in post-Holocaust central Europe, as well as general readers interested in klezmer music and music revivals more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Band eroffnet die neue Reihe Judische Musik. Studien und Quellen zur judischen Musikkultur, die einem in Deutschland bislang vernachlassigten Forschungsgegenstand ein Podium gibt. Die meisten der hier versammelten Beitrage entstanden fur die 1. Potsdamer Tage Judischer Musik, die im Oktober 2002 an der Universitat in Potsdam durchgefuhrt wurden. Zusammen mit der Dokumentation der in Potsdam gezeigten Ausstellung mit Werken zur judischen Volksmusik entsteht so ein Spiegel der im beginnenden 20. Jahrhundert von St. Petersburg ausgehenden, uber viele Stadte Osteuropas, Palastinas/Israels und den USA ausgebreiteten ethnomusikologischen sowie Musik-Kultur schaffenden Aktivitaten. Die Beitrage schildern u.a. judisches Musikerleben im Europa des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts, den durch die Aktivitaten der russischjudischen Musiko-Ethnologen bewirkten Neuaufbruch und die Schaffung eines daraus resultierenden neuen judischen Stils in der Kunstmusik zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sie beleuchten die Pionierarbeiten der ersten Sammler judischer Volksmusik und deren Feldforschungen mit dem Phonographen. Sie versuchen die Besonderheiten von Rhythmus, Melos und Harmonik einer "judischen" Musik zu definieren. Sie betrachten das in jiddischen Liedern und Erzahlungen sichtbar werdende Leben der Ostjuden sowie deren Auffassung von Musik. Schliesslich werden die Bemuhungen vorgestellt, die verlorene und zerstorte Musiktradition des osteuropaischen Judentums zu bewahren und zu rekonstruieren.

Download or read book Old Jewish Folk Music written by Mark Slobin and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original publications of the 1930s are scarcely to be found. The posthumous 1962 volume in the Soviet Union was limited to a tiny edition. Yet the work of the man who has been called "the foremost authority on Jewish folk music before the Holocaust," Moshe Beregovski, survives and is now available for the first time to the English-speaking world. As a member of the Jewish community as well as an ethnomusicologist in prewar Russia, Beregovski had not only the inspiration to preserve the spirit and vitality of the music that filled the lives of his people but also the professional training to document his findings to exacting standards. The first section of SIobin's book contains translations of some of Beregovski's responses to Jewish folk music in its living context during the 1930s. He raises important questions about ethnicity in his essay on interaction between Ukrainian and Jewish musical influences. His work on klezmer music. the music of the Jewish folk instrumental bands, is the most authoritative on the subject and includes his complete guide to fieldworkers in folk music. In another essay Beregovski analyzes an unmistakable trademark of Jewish folk music, the "altered Dorian" scale, and its symbolism in Eastern European Jewish culture. The second section constitutes Beregovski's anthologies of hundreds of folk songs with full Yiddish and English song texts. Each song is carefully notated exactly as it was sung and is accompanied by Beregovski's notes on origins and variants. Beregovski's essays and transcriptions form a pat and a symbol of what was lost in the mass destruction of Eastern European Jewish culture in this century. They form a cultural record of deep significance not only for the Jewish people, but also for folklorists and scholars as evidence of a distinctive music culture that interacted with—and influenced—the folk musics of Eastern Europe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can a traditional music with little apparent historical connection to Berlin become a way of hearing and making sense of the bustling German capital in the twenty-first century? In Sounding Jewish in Berlin, author Phil Alexander explores the dialogue between the city's contemporary klezmer scene and the street-level creativity that has become a hallmark of Berlin's decidedly modern urbanity and cosmopolitanism. By tracing how klezmer music engages with the spaces and symbolic meanings of the city, Alexander sheds light on how this Eastern European Jewish folk music has become not just a product but also a producer of Berlin. This engaging study of Berlin's dynamic Yiddish music scene brings together ethnomusicology, cultural studies, and urban geography to evoke the sounds, atmospheres, and performance spaces through which klezmer musicians have built a lively set of musical networks in the city. Transcending a restrictive framework that considers this music solely in the context of troubled German-Jewish history and notions of guilt and absence, Alexander shows how Berlin's current klezmer communitya diverse group of Jewish and non-Jewish performersimaginatively blend the genre's traditional musical language with characteristically local tones to forge an adaptable and distinctively twenty-first-century version of klezmer. Ultimately, the music's vital presence in Berlin is powerful evidence that if traditional music is to remain audible amid the noise of the urban, it must become a meaningful part of that noise.

This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dawn of the twenty-first century marked a turning period for American Yiddish culture. The 'Old World' of Yiddish-speaking Eastern Europe was fading from living memory - yet at the same time, Yiddish song enjoyed a renaissance of creative interest, both among a younger generation seeking reengagement with the Yiddish language, and, most prominently via the transnational revival of klezmer music. The last quarter of the twentieth century and the early years of the twenty-first saw a steady stream of new songbook publications and recordings in Yiddish - newly composed songs, well-known singers performing nostalgic favourites, American popular songs translated into Yiddish, theatre songs, and even a couple of forays into Yiddish hip hop; musicians meanwhile engaged with discourses of musical revival, post-Holocaust cultural politics, the transformation of language use, radical alterity and a new generation of American Jewish identities. This book explores how Yiddish song became such a potent medium for musical and ideological creativity at the twilight of the twentieth century, presenting an episode in the flowing timeline of a musical repertory - New York at the dawn of the twenty-first century - and outlining some of the trajectories that Yiddish song and its singers have taken to, and beyond, this point.
