  • What Makes Klezmer So Special? Geraldine Auerbach Ponders the World Wide Popularity of Klezmer Written November 2009 for JMI Newsletter No 17
    What Makes Klezmer so Special? Geraldine Auerbach ponders the world wide popularity of klezmer Written November 2009 for JMI Newsletter no 17 Picture this: Camden Town’s Jazz Café on 12 August 2009 with queues round the block including Lords of the realm, hippies, skull-capped portly gents, and trendy young men and women. What brought them all together? They were all coming to a concert of music called Klezmer! So what exactly is klezmer, and how, in the twenty-first century, does it still manage to resonate with and thrill the young and the old, the hip and the nostalgic, alike? In the 18th and 19th centuries, in the Jewish towns and villages of Eastern Europe the Yiddish term 'klezmer' referred to Jewish musicians themselves. They belonged to professional guilds and competed for work at weddings and parties for the Jewish community – as well as the local gentry. Their repertory included specific Jewish tunes as well as local hit songs played on the instruments popular in the locality. Performance was influenced by the ornamented vocal style of the synagogue cantor. When life became intolerable for Jews in Eastern Europe in the late nineteenth century, and opportunity came for moving to newer worlds – musicians brought this music to the west, adapting all the while to immigrant tastes and the new recording scene. During the mid-twentieth century, this type of music fell from favour as the sons and daughters of Jewish immigrants turned to American and British popular styles. But just a few decades later, klezmer was back! A new generation of American musicians reclaimed the music of their predecessors.

Register for Intermediate Winds Advanced Winds (Zilien Biret) Advanced| Tuesday-Friday |AM1 - 9:30-10:45 Dave Tarras himself once said that he never played the same melodic phrase twice, always ornamenting or articulating in a different way. Working with the repertoire of Naftule Brandwein and Titunschneider, we will repeat phrases by ear and learn how to give a strong klezmer character to a repetitive melody. This is a master-class, so please prepare a tune you would like to share with us. I will help you with little tips to piece together the magic of klezmer.
