    MAX STERN, ASPECTS OF MUSIC AND JEWISH IDENTITY IN ISRAEL TODAY STUDIA EUROPAEA GNESNENSIA 8/2013 ISSN 2082–5951 Max Stern (Ariel) ASPECTS OF MUSIC AND JEWISH IDENTITY IN ISRAEL TODAY Abstract One of the prerogatives of our time and place has been a protracted search to inte- grate Western artistic aspiration within a context of Jewish identifi cation — a quest to fi nd the indwelling spirit within contemporary and traditional compositional ethos and technique, content and form. Shared is an awareness of the tension between tradition and innovation, and the motivation to bring a timeless perspective to the fractured state of contemporary consciousness. Th is paper focuses on music as an art form and as an experiential educational medium in the renewal of an ingathered people who aspires to understand and walk in the ways of God, but isn’t quite sure how this vision and ideal is to be realized as ancient sources of inspiration impose themselves against a backdrop of horror and despair.

As residents of various nations, Jews absorbed cultural and behavioral norms, participating and contributing to their host cultures, while maintaining close ties to ancient texts and sacred precepts.

  • I an Attentive Interpretation Study of Claude Debussy's Trois Chansons
    An Attentive Interpretation Study of Claude Debussy’s Trois chansons de Bilitis for Mezzo-Soprano and Piano, Including Jake Heggie’s Arrangement of Trois Chansons de Bilitis for Mezzo-Soprano and String Quartet D.M.A. Document Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Élise DesChamps Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2019 D.M.A. Document Committee Dr. Scott McCoy, Advisor Professor Edward Bak Professor Alan Green i Copyright by Élise DesChamps 2019 ii Abstract This document is an outgrowth of my strong desire to gain a deeper understanding of Debussy’s musical style, as well as Jake Heggie’s, and to create a new connection in the existing literature. A recent arrangement of Trois chansons de Bilitis by Jake Heggie creates a vehicle which allows this study to connect the two geniuses. The first chapter is an introduction on the subject, followed by two chapters on Debussy’s, and Louÿs’ lives, where simple yet thorough biographies are established. The fourth chapter is focusing on the collaboration between Debussy and Louÿs, and the birth of Bilitis. Chapter five is an interpretation guide exposing compositional elements including, but not limited to, diction, primary sources, harmony, melody, rhythm, text, and formal structure, including topics most pertinent to performance practice. Chapter six is dedicated to Jake Heggie. The final pages of the document include a full musical score, Eugène Fromont’s first edition, with interpretation markings, suggested breaths, complete International Phonetic Alphabet, and an English translation.

  • The Israeli Mediterranean Style: Origins, 1930S—1950S Ronit Seter
    The Israeli Mediterranean Style: Origins, 1930s—1950s Ronit Seter © 2013 The term Mediterranean style, as it has been used in Israel, originally referred to selected versions of European Mediterranean styles in art music that Jewish composers—the founders of Israeli music, among them the Israeli Five: Paul (Frankenburger) Ben-Haim (1897-1984), Oedoen Partos (1907-1977), Alexander U. Boskovich (1907-1964), Mordecai (Starominsky) Seter (1916-1994), and Josef (Grünthal) Tal (1910-2008)— developed first in British Palestine in the late 1930s throughout the 1940s, then in Israel mostly until the early 1950s, denoting an emerging national identity through local color in music. It was also qualified as signon Mizrahi (Eastern or oriental style, i.e., of the Middle East, the cradle of Judaism, rather than East Asia) or signon Mizrah-yam tikhoni (Eastern-Mediterranean style), referring to the preferred ethnic sources: often derived from the liturgical and para-liturgical musical traditions of Yemenite, Persian, and Moroccan Israeli Jews (i.e., the musics of local and regional Arab and Persian Jews) and other Mizrahi and local, Palestinian musical heritage. These traditions inspired the founders who, following Bartók in particular, and other European and East-European national schools, wished to create a national style based on local traditions, some of which presumably had remote resemblance to the music of the Temple or ancient Israel. The Mediterranean style embodied, first and foremost, a collection of styles imagined and constructed to convey nationalism in music during the pre-statehood decade. During the last few decades, the term has acquired additional meanings, relating to popular Israeli musics influenced by regional musical elements, which have transformed and redefined the original meaning.

(First English edition, Jerusalem: Israeli Music Publications, 1990, edited by Bathja Bayer and translated by Nathan Friedgut from the original 1983 Hebrew edition, published by Am Oved. The 2010 edition was revised, updated, and edited by Paul Landau.) Jehoash Hirshberg’s Paul Ben-Haim: His Life and Works has been a groundbreaking work in all of its three editions: 1983, 1990, and 2010.* Not only was it the first monograph on an Israeli composer—arguably the most performed among the founders of Israeli art music—it was also written by the first Israeli musicologist to daringly devote a monograph to an Israeli composer, a member of an emerging culture plagued by an inferiority complex: too young and never Western (or Eastern) “enough.” As a musicological work, especially in 1983 but also in 1990, Ben-Haim was unique at a time when practically all Israeli musicologists (unlike ethnomusicologists) focused their efforts on traditional topics related to European composers. Moreover, in his Ben-Haim, Hirshberg assumed the uneasy task of crafting a tribute to a conservative, audience-pleasing composer, whose reception among his colleagues at the time of the original, 1983 publication had been deteriorating for about two decades.
