Anna and Psoy will present Yiddish songs that ridicule the German Army and Nazi leaders, ones that address the tensions between Jewish refugees in Romanian-run ghettos in Transnistria (Bershad, Mogilev-Podolsk and Shargorod), and other humorous pieces.

Jewish music investigations from scholars of the American Musicological Society

Amanda Ruppenthal Stein, Ann Glazer Niren, Samantha M Cooper

Amanda Ruppenthal Stein (Carroll University)
Judentum and Das Judentum: Rethinking the Narrative on 19th century German Jewish Art Music
Musicologists agree that the concept of “Jewish music” has varied historically, geographically, and theoretically throughout scholarship and criticism. Jewishness can be and has been musically expressed in different ways in different periods, and the concept of Jewishness in art music confounds easy categorization
Ann Glazer Niren (Indiana University Southeast)
Four Sabras: A Family Portrait
Many of Leonard Bernstein’s compositions have become staples of the twentieth-century American musical canon, yet there are still a few of his pieces which are relatively unknown. One such work is Four Sabras for solo piano…
Samantha M Cooper (Harvard University)
The Undesirable in Box 14: Jewish Men and the Making of the Metropolitan Opera House, 1880-1940 When the Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate Company permitted Jewish financier Otto H. Kahn to acquire ownership of Opera Box 14 in 1917, they acted in direct opposition to their earlier vow to keep their opera boxes out of “the hands of undesirable persons”

Di Megile fun Vaymar: Part II
The Book of Esther for 21st century Weimar
A reminder that tomorrow’s COZ is the second part of Alan Bern’s stunning Purimshpil di megile fun vaymar – including appearances from Itzik Manger, Goethe, and an all-star international Yiddish cast.

If you saw last week’s absolutely outstanding first act, you will doubtless be back for more. If you missed it, please come along tomorrow anyway – we can have a quick recap and there will be plenty to occupy us in Act Two!
Did Goethe speak Yiddish? Did he write a Purim play? Is Jewish art “too sentimental?” Did anyone survive the Biblical flood? Can Great Authors save us? Can we learn from past mistakes? Tune in to JMI’s “Conversations on Zoom” this Tuesday at 6 pm Berlin time and find out by watching and discussing Part Two of Alan Bern’s “Di megile fun Vaymar” with Alan Bern and Phil Alexander.

Di Megile fun Vaymar:
The Book of Esther for 21st century Weimar
Alan Bern in conversation with

‘Conversations on Zoom’ (COZ) is a project of the
International Forum for Jewish Music Studies IFJMS
Judit Frigyesi Niran is a teacher, musicologist, ethnomusicologist, writer, scholar, and the author of several dozen articles. Her musicological interest comprises the 19th-21st centuries (Mendelssohn, Kurtág, Feldman, Ligeti, etc.) with focus on Béla Bartók (Béla Bartók and turn-of-the-century Budapest, California, 1998, 2000). She was the only scholar who systematically collected, transcribed and analyzed the sounds of the Jewish ritual in Communist Eastern Europe after the Holocaust — with especial focus on the prayer of the simple people and untrained ba’ale tefillah (Writing on Water: The Sounds of Jewish Prayer, CEU Press, 2018). She is also a poet and photographer, creator of installations, short films and multi-media projects.

Alex Klein was born in London. He has been passionate about Jewish music, especially chazzanut all his life. As a youth he took services in Finchley Synagogue and studied at Jews College. He settled in Manchester where he brought significant Jewish artists and cantors for concerts to the UK. He worked with Geraldine Auerbach, Director of the Jewish Music Institute, as head of its Synagogue Music Section. Together they created the European Cantors Association in 2012 which runs Cantors Conventions in European and British cities and other programmes.

Who Killed Hazzanut?

Charles’ book “What to Listen for in Jewish Music” can be ordered directly from him at charlesheller@rogers.com

Though my knowledge is limited to Ashkenazi hazzanut, Shraga Herstik recommends this Sephardi musician and hazzan, Yohai Ovad, esp. to get a sense of how modes/makams work in practice: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeGG_CLCmRESmkDfFThh6NQ

“Historic”

“Hazzanut is an historic form of religious entertainment based on stylized folk song, sung unamplified to an all-powerful God, and transmitted through sheet music and recordings from the Golden Age.”

Will Crutchfield: Like riding a horse. Once part of everyday life, now must be deliberate.

Crutchfield on cantorial music: https://www.teatronuovo.org/record-of-the-week/what-would-we-do-without-the-cantors

“Religious Entertainment”
Noah Schall in 1986: https://digitalcollections.wesleyan.edu/object/cantorate-1097 [At 1:05:59]

Moishe Oysher (playing a cantor) delighting Michel Rosenberg (in real life a Yiddish theater owner and occasional character actor) with a setting of the Sabbath morning service written by Abe Ellstein The cantors son part 2 [At 19:00]

Rosenberg later worked this into a light-hearted satiric routine [At 5:52} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ7pkUZ4Nfg&t=3s

“Stylized Folksong”

Noah Schall on use of “congregational” melodies by Rosenblatt and other East European cantors: https://djsa.dartmouth.edu/tracks/95137 [At 6:00]

“Cultured Hasidic Singing”(Cantor Yehuda Marx)

Charles – story with trying to get music teachers to play freygish.

Example of Kol Nidre sung less elaborately (by Manfred Lewandowski), then more elaborately (by Moishe Oysher): https://www.shaarhashomayim.org/shtetl-concert [09 – The Jazz Singer – 2:45]Israel Rabinovitch in Montreal Jewish Public Library – on Kol Nidre opening motive used for selling aliyos: https://archive.org/details/ybc-fbr-12_4012/02-12B+cleaned.wav [12:05]
Cantor Katchko inserting slight “krekhts” into his pronunciation of “avenue”https://rsa.fau.edu/album/42960 [Track 4 – 1:38]

Slight krekhts explained by Ethel Raim and Cantor Sarah Myerson in a presentation for the Milken Center back in May: https://www.facebook.com/UCLAMAJE/videos/1195479770942822 [27:00]

Dear Colleagues and Friends

Thank you and have a lovely summer

A big thank you, from all of us, to Ilana Webster-Kogen and Clara Wenz for a scintillating session today, on an area not often covered so far, to end our COZzes for the year.  We really enjoyed your enthusiastic presentation and the conversation which followed.

I want to thank all the speakers over the past 12 months – more than 100 of you, who have put before us such interesting scholarship and experience in Jewish music of all kinds.

I am so glad that Phil Alexander will now manage the booking and marketing of COZ when we start again in October. He looks forward to hearing from you with your proposals and booking your slots. Please reach him here:  Phil.Alexander@ed.ac.uk

Talking of the migration of Torah Scrolls today, segued nicely into Gordon Dale talking about a real conference he is exploring for 2023 with a provisional title of ‘Migration and Transformation in Jewish Music’. He would welcome your participation on his team in this exploration for the conference – so please Contact Gordon gdale@huc.edu

Thank you to Edwin Seroussi, one of our mentors, for popping in to say Hi at our birthday party and offering to be more involved next season. It was great to hear words from him and also from our younger and also more senior scholars, on how much COZ has opened their eyes and ears and provided a platform to engage with colleagues and friends world-wide at the touch of a button.

Thank you so much Edwin, also Jeremiah Lockwood, Agnes Corey, Charles Heller and Alex Klein for your thoughts and your kind words to me personally as well.

Remember you can see all the COZ-zes again on the IFJMS COZ playlist, on our YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6GVi1YcCPg&list=PL4LimEnDNhrSVEQtEiEvgJiMU_dBMP_l5

Register here https://jewishmusic.hcommons-staging.org/   and also join our Facebook group here  https://www.facebook.com/IFJMS

Mark Kligman and Martha Stellmacher (who are on vacation) and Lorry Black send you their very good wishes and join me in thanking you all so much for your keen participation.  We can make the platform – but it is only when you come and dance on it that if comes to life!

We meet again for COZ on October 5, with COZ 53 Vanessa Paloma Elbaz with Jonathan Glasser on Jewish Saharan Women’s songs for birth part 2

Have a lovely summer
