Jüdische Kunstmusik im 20. Jahrhundert by Jascha Nemtsov Pdf

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.

Armenian and Jewish Experience between Expulsion and Destruction by Sarah M. Ross,Regina Randhofer Pdf

Jews and Armenians are often perceived as peoples with similar tragic historical experiences. Not only were both groups forced into statelessness and a life outside their homelands for centuries, in the 20th century, in the shadow of war, they were threatened with collective annihilation. Thus far, academic approaches to these two "classical" diasporas have been quite different. Moreover, Armenian and Jewish questions posed during the 19th and 20th centuries have usually been treated separately. The conference “We Will Live After Babylon” that took place in Hanover in February 2019, addressed this gap in research and was one of the first initiatives to deal directly with Jewish and Armenian historical experiences, between expulsion, exile and annihilation, in a comparative framework. The contributions in this volume take on multidisciplinary approaches relating to the conference’s central themes: diaspora, minority issues and genocide.

Sounding Authentic by Joshua S. Walden Pdf

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.

Textual Transmission in Contemporary Jewish Cultures by Avriel Bar-Levav,Uzi Rebhun Pdf

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.

Musikalische Grenzgänge by Assaf Shelleg Pdf

English summary: In this book, Assaf Shelleg explores the history of Israeli art music and its ongoing discourse with modern Jewish art music. He introduces the reader to various aesthetic dilemmas involved in the emergence of this music, ranging from auto-exoticism through the hues of self-hatred to the disarticulation of Jewish musical markers. He then considers part of the music's translocation to Mandatory Palestine, studying its brisk discourse with Hebrew culture, and how composers grappled with modern and Zionist images of the self. Unlike previous efforts in the field, Shelleg unearths the mechanism of what he calls Zionist musical onomatopoeias, but, more importantly, their dilution by the non-western Arab-Jewish oral musical traditions. The English original edition of this book, which was published by Oxford University Press, won the 2015 Engle Prize for the Study of Hebrew Music, and the 2016 Jordan Schnitzer Book Award. German description: Assaf Shelleg untersucht in diesem Buch die Geschichte der israelischen Kunstmusik und ihren anhaltenden Diskurs mit der judischen Kunstmusik der Moderne. Er erlautert verschiedene asthetische Dilemmata, die an der Entstehung dieser Musik beteiligt waren. Diese reichen von Auto-Exotismus uber Vorwurfe des Selbsthasses bis hin zum Vermeiden von Merkmalen judischer Musik. Er betrachtet, wie diese Musik in das damalige Britische Mandatsgebiet Palastina gelangt und dort in ein widerspruchliches Verhaltnis mit der hebraischen Kultur gerat. Zugleich wird deutlich, wie die Komponisten mit ihrer Selbstverortung zwischen Moderne und Zionismus hadern. Im Gegensatz zu bisherigen Studien auf diesem Gebiet fordert Assaf Shelleg einen Mechanismus zutage, den er als zionistische musikalische Lautmalerei bezeichnet. Die englische Originalausgabe dieses Werks, erschienen bei Oxford University Press, wurde mit dem Engle Prize fur das Studium hebraischer Musik 2015 und dem Jordan Schnitzer Buch Preis 2016 ausgezeichnet.

Die neue Jüdische Schule in der Musik by Jascha Nemtsov Pdf

1908 wurde in St. Petersburg eine Gesellschaft für jüdische Volksmusik gegründet. Die jungen Komponisten, die sich ihr anschlossen, entwickelten bald, zum ersten Mal in der Musikgeschichte, einen nationalen jüdischen Stil in der Kunstmusik, der Elemente jiddischer Folklore und synagogaler Musik integrierte. Diese Neue Jüdische Schule war damals eng mit der jüdischen Renaissance-Bewegung auf allen Kulturgebieten verknüpft und wurde auch von zionistischen Ideen geprägt. Während sich jedoch die gleichzeitig entstehende russische, tschechische, spanische oder ungarische Nationalmusik frei entfalten und im kulturellen Bewusstsein etablieren konnte, wurde der Erfolg der Neuen Jüdischen Schule durch die stalinistische und nationalsozialistische Kulturpolitik bereits nach drei Jahrzehnten gewaltsam abgebrochen. Jascha Nemtsov behandelt erstmalig systematisch die Geschichte der Neuen Jüdischen Schule und ihrer wichtigsten Institutionen, wie die Gesellschaft für jüdische Volksmusik in St. Petersburg (1908¿1919), die Gesellschaft für jüdische Musik in Moskau (1923¿1931), der Verein zur Förderung jüdischer Musik in Wien (1928¿1938), die Musikverlage Jibneh (1922¿1943) und Juwal (1923¿1927) u.a. Im Mittelpunkt stehen außerdem die ästhetischen Maximen sowie der historische, ideologische und kulturelle Kontext. Die Grundlage dieser Arbeit bilden Hunderte neu entdeckter Dokumente aus russischen, amerikanischen, israelischen, schweizerischen, österreichischen und holländischen Archiven.

Jüdische Musik im süddeutschen Raum / Mapping Jewish Music of Southern Germany by Claus Bockmaier,Tina Frühauf Pdf

Dieser Band kartiert die jüdische Musik Süddeutschlands im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert: als einen Raum, der jüdische Musikgeschichte produziert, beherbergt und bewahrt; als einen gemeinsamen Raum von Juden und Nicht-Juden mit der möglichen Kultur des Zusammenflusses; und als einen Raum der Ausgrenzung und Verfolgung. Diese Räume - teils symbolisch, abstrakt, metaphorisch, teils konkret und inszeniert - erschließen sich in acht Kapiteln: zur Topografie jüdischen Musiklebens im NS-Staat in München, zum Leben und Wirken von Jakob Schönberg und Richard Fuchs im Kontext jüdischer Kunstmusik, zu den musikalischen Praktiken der jüdischen Gemeinden in Bamberg und Binswangen, zu den Aktivitäten des Esslinger Cantors Mayer Levi, zur Verlagerung süddeutscher und österreichischer jüdischer Musiker und ihrem Wirken in Ferramonti di Tarsia und nicht zuletzt zu Paul Ben-Haims sozialem und intellektuellem Umfeld vor und kurz nach der Emigration. This volume maps Jewish music of southern Germany in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It explores this region as a space that produces, inhabits, and preserves Jewish musical history; as a shared space between Jews and non-Jews that can result in a culture of confluence; and as a space of exclusion and persecution. These spaces - some symbolic, abstract, metaphorical, and others concrete and enacted - are unraveled in eight chapters that address the topography of Jewish musical life in the NS state using the example of Munich, the life and work of Jakob Schönberg and Richard Fuchs in the context of Jewish art music, the musical practices of the Jewish communities in Bamberg and Binswangen, the activities of Cantor Mayer Levi of Esslingen, the dislocation of South German and Austrian Jewish musicians and their activities in the camp of Ferramonti di Tarsia, and Paul Ben-Haim's social and intellectual environment before and shortly after emigration.

The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Music Studies by Tina Frühauf Pdf

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.
