Download or read book J dische Kunstmusik im 20 Jahrhundert written by Jascha Nemtsov and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2006 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der Sammelband prasentiert Beitrage des internationalen Kongresses Die Neue Judische Schule, der im Mai 2004 an der Universitat Potsdam stattfand und an dem renommierte Wissenschaftler aus Deutschland, Israel, den USA, Russland, Grossbritannien und Schweden teilnahmen. Ihre Arbeiten beruhren verschiedenste Aspekte der Forschung uber dieses Thema. Besonders wichtig war die Klarung der Quellenlage: Die Dokumente der Neuen Judischen Schule sind durch politische Umstande und bewegte Schicksale der Komponisten in der ganzen Welt zerstreut. Bis vor einigen Jahren waren sie aus verschiedenen Grunden oft gar nicht zuganglich, manchmal war nicht einmal der Verbleib der Nachlasse bekannt. Zum Kongress waren Vertreter von vier wichtigen Archiven eingeladen, ihre Vortrage bilden den ersten Teil des Bandes. Die Beitrage des zweiten Teils belegen eindrucksvoll, dass die Neue Judische Schule keineswegs auf Russland beschrankt war, und dass ihr unmittelbarer Einfluss weit in die Nachkriegszeit hinein reichte. Im Mittelpunkt des dritten Teils stehen herausragende Protagonisten der Neuen Judischen Schule. Fur judische Kunstmusik war die osteuropaische judische Musiktradition die wichtigste Inspirationsquelle. Diesem Thema ist der vierte Teil gewidmet. Der letzte, funfte Teil befasst sich mit den aktuellen Entwicklungen auf dem Gebiet judischer Kunstmusik im Zusammenhang mit der Geschichte der Neuen Judischen Schule und ihren Traditionen.

Download or read book Sounding Authentic written by Joshua S. Walden and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sounding Authentic considers the intersecting influences of nationalism, modernism, and technological innovation on representations of ethnic and national identities in twentieth-century art music. Author Joshua S. Walden discusses these forces through the prism of what he terms the "rural miniature": short violin and piano pieces based on folk song and dance styles. This genre, mostly inspired by the folk music of Hungary, the Jewish diaspora, and Spain, was featured frequently on recordings and performance programs in the early twentieth century. Furthermore, Sounding Authentic shows how the music of urban Romany ensembles developed into nineteenth-century repertoire of virtuosic works in the style hongrois before ultimately influencing composers of rural miniatures. Walden persuasively demonstrates how rural miniatures represented folk and rural cultures in a manner that was perceived as authentic, even while they involved significant modification of the original sources. He also links them to the impulse toward realism in developing technologies of photography, film, and sound recording. Sounding Authentic examines the complex ways the rural miniature was used by makers of nationalist agendas, who sought folkloric authenticity as a basis for the construction of ethnic and national identities. The book also considers the genre's reception in European diaspora communities in America where it evoked and transformed memories of life before immigration, and traces how many rural miniatures were assimilated to the styles of American popular song and swing. Scholars interested in musicology, ethnography, the history of violin performance, twentieth-century European art music, the culture of the Jewish Diaspora and more will find Sounding Authentic an essential addition to their library.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies written by Tina Frühauf and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-29 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies is the most comprehensive and expansive critical handbook of Jewish music published to date. It is the first endeavor to address the diverse range of sounds, texts, archives, traditions, histories, geographic and political contexts, and critical discourses in the field. The thirty-one experts from thirteen countries who prepared the thirty original and groundbreaking chapters in this handbook are leaders in the disciplines of musicology and Jewish studies as well as adjacent fields. Chapters in the handbook provide a broad coverage of the subject area with considerable expansion of the topics that are normally covered in a resource of this type. Designed around eight distinct sections -- Land, City, Ghetto, Stage, Sacred and Ritual Spaces, Destruction / Remembrance, and Spirit -- the range and scope of The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies most significantly suggests a new framework for the study of Jewish music centered on spatiality and taking into consideration temporality and collectivity. Within each chapter, authors have selected what they consider to be the most important material relevant to their topic and, drawing on the most authoritative insights from historical and ethnomusicology, Jewish studies, history, anthropology, philology, religious studies, and the visual arts, have taken a genuinely inter- or transdisciplinary approach. Integrated chapter bibliographies provide material for further reading. Together the chapters form a first truly global look at Jewish music, incorporating studies from Central and East Asia, Europe, Australia, the Americas, and the Arab world. Together they span world history, from antiquity until the present day. As such, the Handbook provides a resource that researchers, scholars, and educators will use as the most important and authoritative overview of work within music and Jewish studies.

Seow pays close attention to the reception history of Job, including Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Western secular interpretations as expressed in theological, philosophical, and literary writings and in the visual and performing arts.

Download or read book Textual Transmission in Contemporary Jewish Cultures written by Avriel Bar-Levav and published by Academic. This book was released on 2020 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish culture places a great deal of emphasis on texts and their means of transmission. At various points in Jewish history, the primary mode of transmission has changed in response to political, geographical, technological, and cultural shifts. Contemporary textual transmission in Jewish culture has been influenced by secularization, the return to Hebrew and the emergence of modern Yiddish, and the new centers of Jewish life in the United States and in Israel, as well as by advancements in print technology and the invention of the Internet. Volume XXXI of Studies in Contemporary Jewry deals with various aspects of textual transmission in Jewish culture in the last two centuries. Essays in this volume examine old and new kinds of media and their meanings; new modes of transmission in fields such as Jewish music; and the struggle to continue transmitting texts under difficult political circumstances. Two essays analyze textual transmission in the works of giants of modern Jewish literature: S.Y. Agnon, in Hebrew, and Isaac Bashevis Singer, in Yiddish. Other essays discuss paratexts in the East, print cultures in the West, and the organization of knowledge in libraries and encyclopedias.
