Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of a Jew Every ghetto is now a nest of singing-birds. But the Yiddish poet has so far made his appearance in English literature only by way of a version of Morris Rosenfeld's Songs from the Ghetto. If there is nothing in the present volume that reaches the intensity or the originality of Rosenfeld's In the Sweat Shop - that palpitating protest against mechanical drudgery which leaves Hood's Song of the Shirt as far behind as the sewing-machine leaves the needle - Mr Raskin has yet the unique distinction of expressing himself in English almost as trippingly as in Yiddish. It is only in 1910 that this "alien immigrant" published in his adopted town of Leeds - where he seems to have become a Member of the Royal Sanitary Institute (!) - a Yiddish collection entitled Ghetto-Lieder, with a preface by "Schalom Aleichem," the Yiddish Mark Twain. And now he has already mastered English sufficiently to write in the language - if not of Shakespeare - of Longfellow. There are those who, in the spirit of Dr Johnson, might wish that this feat were not only difficult but impossible.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Zion by Hebrew Singers of Mediaeval Times The originals of the following poems are, with one or two exceptions, to be found in the Sabbath and festival prayer-books in use in the synagogues of English and foreign Jewish communities. By far the larger number come to us from mediaeval Spain, where Hebrew poetry reached the highest point of devotional and poetical excellence. There the Jewish hymnologists were alike poets and philosophers, and the stream of learning and cultivation, mingling with that of poetry, flowed through the plains of religious life and enriched them in a thousand ways, while the fruit of the tree of knowledge was used both to enlighten and strengthen religious faith, and to adorn and beautify divine service.

The ancient Jewish Mystics added a touch of ecstasy to these statutory prayers by singing gleeful table - hymns to the Giver of all good. This saintly custom was soon adopted by the whole House of Israel, albeit only for the Sabbath, which is and must ever remain the central sun in the existence of the faithful Jew.

Download or read book A Fine Romance written by David Lehman and published by Schocken. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In A Fine Romance, David Lehman looks at the formation of the American songbook—the timeless numbers that became jazz standards, iconic love songs, and sound tracks to famous movies—and explores the extraordinary fact that this songbook was written almost exclusively by Jews. An acclaimed poet, editor, and cultural critic, David Lehman hears America singing—with a Yiddish accent. He guides us through America in the golden age of song, when “Embraceable You,” “White Christmas,” “Easter Parade,” “Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered,” “Can’t Help Lovin’ Dat Man,” “My Romance,” “Cheek to Cheek,” “Stormy Weather,” and countless others became nothing less than the American sound track. The stories behind these songs, the shows from which many of them came, and the shows from which many of them came, and the composers and lyricists who wrote them give voice to a specifically American saga of love, longing, assimilation, and transformation. Lehman’s analytical skills, wit, and exuberance infuse this book with an energy and a tone like no other: at once sharply observant, personally searching, and attuned to the songs that all of us love. He helps us understand how natural it should be that Wizard of Oz composer Harold Arlen was the son of a cantor who incorporated “Over the Rainbow” into his Sabbath liturgy, and why Cole Porter—the rare non-Jew in this pantheon of musicians who wrote these classic songs shaped America even as America was shaping them.

Download or read book Songs From the Ghetto written by Morris Rosenfeld and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-21 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs From the Ghetto: With Prose Translation, Glossary, and Introduction by L. Wiener Yiddish, or Judeo-German, is a group of dialects spoken by the Jews of German origin in Russia, Austria, and Roumania. Originally not differing from the local dialects of the Middle Rhine, it has incorporated in the diaspora a large number of Slavic and Hebrew words so as to become unintelligible to the average German reader. To neutralize this difficulty to a certain extent, Mr. Rosenfeld's language, which belongs to the Lithuanian variety of Judeo-German, has been presented in this book as far as practicable in the orthography of the literary German. The apparent discrepancy in the rhymes thus produced will disappear if the following is observed: - The consonants have all their German values, and is like French j. The vowels are nearly all short, so that u, ie, i are equal to German i; similarly a, o, eh, ee are like G. short e. The G. long e is represented by, oe, and in Slavic and Hebrew words also by ee. Ei and eu are pronounced like G. ei in mein, while i is equal to G. ee; and o are G. short o; au sounds more like G. ou, and au and o resemble G. oi. The Slavic and Hebrew words are spelled phonetically, and the latter differ consequently from the transliterated forms in scientific works.

Download or read book Union Hymnal written by Central Conference Of American Rabbis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Union Hymnal: Songs and Prayers for Jewish Worship In 1914, the first revision of the Union Hymnal was published by the Central Conference of American Rabbis. It contained two hundred and twenty-six hymns as compared with one hundred and twenty-nine in the original edition. Three years later, there was a very widespread demand for another revision. Studieswere made by several committees from that time until 1924, when the present Committee on Revision was appointed. The work was brought to completion with the presentation of the manuscript to the Conference in Providence, R. I., In 1930. The Committee sought to meet the requirements of our congregations and religious schools by providing a revision which should ring true to the Jewish spirit. AS against two hundred and twenty-six hymns in the second edition, the present compilation has two hundred and sixty-six hymns, many of which are entirely new. Considerable use was made of the second edition, many favorite hymns were retained, but many were eliminated, because they did not answer the special needs of our congregations and religious schools; others were re-harmonized or separated, or the language of the poetry revised so as to give more appropriate expression to the demands of Jewish theology. Jewish composers contributed melodies and settings that were inspired by traditional Jewish music. Many Jewish poems were introduced into our hymnology for the first time. The Com mittee on Revision was actuated by a desire to produce a hymn book which would stimulate congregational singing, inspire Jewish devotion, revive the value of Jewish melody, make use of neglected Jewish poetry, lean heavily where possible upon Jewish motifs, awaken in the children of our religious schools a love for Jewish poetry and song, and encourage in the religious schools an earnest study of Jewish music, and finally contribute to the field of hymnology a publication which would be essentially Jewish in color, spirit and purpose. One of the main purposes kept constantly in view was to make it as Jewish as possible, and thus meet one of the needs of our modern synagogal life, namely the adaptation of Jewish traditional music to the usage and taste of our own days. This involves a two-fold question: what elements of synagogal melody best ex press our religious life in music employed by our congregations; and how shall we clothe them in harmony that shall reveal their own peculiar modal character and melodic contours? We would. Not assert that we have solved these two problems. Not only in this Hymnal, but in our religious-musical life in general, they are still far from a solution. But we have made an earnest efiort to proceed in this direction. We have called upon Jewish composers for aid. AS noted elsewhere in this Preface, a considerable number of them contributed compositions to this collection. Composers were urged to utilize some of the wealth of synagogal melody. This plea found a ready response. Even a superficial glance through the contents of this volume indicates how many of the hymns are based upon traditional melodies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hebrew Hymnal for School and Home The purpose of the Hebrew Hymnal is to present traditional melodies of the synagogue and the Jewish home adapted to the needs of young Israel. Most of the music has been specially arranged for the Hymnal, and some of the selections are here published for the first time. In every case, the editors have endeavored to give a simple version of the melody with correct harmonization. The transliteration of the Hebrew words aecom panying the music is a slight modification of the system followed in the Jewish Encyclopedia. The Hebrew text (based on S. Baer's Abodath Israel) as well as the English translation, which follows the authorized Singer Prayer Book, are printed on the page Opposite the music, except where space permitted the printing of the words on the same page with the music. This arrangement makes it possible to use the book as a Hebrew reader in the schools. Inasmuch, however, as the mison d' fire of the book is the music.
