INTRODUCTION The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most intractable ethnic conflicts in the world. A fight over the land of Israel/Palestine that has been compounded by decades of diverging narratives, psychosocial enculturation of fear, and mutual violence, the discord that lies at the heart of this conflict runs deep—so deep that conventional forms of negotiation have thus far proved futile. -

Hindustani classical music is based entirely around melodic interaction with rhythm. Each raag provides a specific set of notes and rules for how they may be used. By following the given rules a performer, or in this case a composer, may create an original piece while still preserving the mood of the raag. Raag Jaunpuri conveys a contemplative mood, and is meant to be performed in the late morning hours. -

Musical Personae in a Cosmopolitan Society by Merav Singer A
Singing as an Israeli Woman: Musical Personae in a Cosmopolitan Society By Merav Singer A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Benjamin Brinner, Chair Professor Tamara Roberts Professor Paola Bacchetta Professor Edwin Seroussi Fall 2015 Abstract Singing as an Israeli Woman: Musical Personae in a Cosmopolitan Society by Merav Singer Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Benjamin Brinner, Chair Israel in the 21 st century is an intensely multicultural society where several types of cosmopolitanism vie with regional and ethnic forms of expression, a phenomenon that plays out in musical life. I propose that such a society offers a variety of possibilities for what a woman is, what she can do, and how she can work. This dissertation is an ethnographic study of four female singer-songwriters that examines the ways they negotiate and sometimes challenge socio-cultural norms in creating their careers and constructing their artistic personae, or the version of themselves that they present as musicians. The artists I focus on straddle four major rifts in Israeli society, between Arabs and Jews, Mizrahim and Ashkenazim, Russian-speaking immigrants and native Israelis, and Orthodox and non-Orthodox communities. In using their ethnic heritage as cultural capital to corner a unique market niche, these artists become enmeshed in social politics that include tensions between ethnic and religious groups, conflicting gender roles, and struggles over belonging. I argue that as they create legible personae to meet the demands of the music industry, their liminality between mainstream society and a minority sector challenges the discourse around those identities. -
The Emergence of New Israeli/Palestinian Musical Competences & Connections1
Beyond Ethnic Tinge or Ethnic Fringe: The Emergence of New Israeli/Palestinian Musical Competences & Connections1 Benjamin Brinner A musical scene emerged in Israel in the 1990s, around unprecedented interaction between Jewish, Christian, Muslim, and Druze musicians in Israel and the West Bank.2 Most frequently marketed at home as musika etnit Yisraelit (Israeli ethnic music), it involves mixing elements of various Middle Eastern and non-Middle Eastern musical practices.3 Little of the music created in this scene is identifiable as specifically Israeli, Palestinian, Jewish, or Arab, but the confluence of people is uniquely Israeli-Palestinian, and much of the music they have produced is also unique to the particular experiences, desires, and understandings developed by these musicians in this milieu. While this scene has attained neither the stature of art music nor the market share of popular music, it has considerable significance within local and international political, social, and cultural frameworks. By contrasting this area of musical activity with “ethnic tinge” and “ethnic fringe,” I aim to position it relative to other local practices and, in so doing, to emphasize its particular sociocultural contributions, both achieved and potential. These contributions have political implications, too, as I shall argue in the conclusion. I use “tinge” to refer to 1 This article is based on research that I initiated in the early 1990s, with roots in the 1980s when I directed the Workshop for Non-Western Music at the Jerusalem Music Center, and taught ethnomusicology at the Hebrew University and Tel Aviv University and first met some of the musicians who became the subjects of this study. -
62 “Sing Us a Mawwal”: the Politics of Culture-Brokering Palestinian
“Sing us a Mawwal”: 1 The Politics of Culture-Brokering Palestinian Israeli Musicians Galeet Dardashti Early one morning during the summer of 2003, I caught a ride to Nazareth from Tel Aviv with Moti,2 the producer of the “Culture of Peace” Festival. Moti was accompanying the Israeli pop singer Sigal3, a singer he managed at the time, for an audition with the Arab Orchestra of Nazareth, which he also managed. I had interviewed Moti on his work, producing performances of Arab music in Israel, and he invited me to come along for the day trip to Nazareth on condition that I only observe and not ask any questions until after the audition. He didn’t want to make Sigal nervous — she was nervous enough. “They know I’m not an Arab, right?” she asked as we drove along the way. “I’m sure that I might make some mistakes in the Arabic or something.” “Yes, they know,” said Moti. “I told them that you are my friend and that you are a well known singer among Israelis.” The Arab Orchestra of Nazareth4 is comprised almost exclusively of Palestinian Israeli5 male musicians from Nazareth. They work with a number of Palestinian Israeli singers, depending on the repertoire they are performing in Israel or abroad. Amidst the recent popularity of Arab and Middle Eastern-infused music in Israel, Sigal, a Jew of Iraqi and Moroccan background, had become interested in performing classical Arab music with the Orchestra, following the path of the more well known Moroccan- descended Jewish Israeli pop sensation Zehava Ben. -
Music and Conflict Resolution
MUSIC AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION: ISRAELI-PALESTINIAN CONFLICT A MASTER’S THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY LIBERTY UNIVERSITY BY TERESA LEE ENYART IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ETHNOMUSICOLOGY April 27, 2018 Copyright April 27, 2018 by Teresa EnYart Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank Katherine Morehouse at Liberty University for accepting me into the Ethnomusicology program in a few years ago. The acceptance into this program came very timely in my life when I needed to move forward. Next, I would like to thank Harry Anastasiou at Portland State University. Several years ago, during my undergrad at Portland State, I took every one of Harry’s conflict resolution classes; and it’s from those classes that I have formulated and applied those concepts here in this thesis. I would further like to thank Harry for taking the time, twice in the past year, to sit down with me to discuss thoughts and ideas about conflict resolution. Also, to Jeffrey Meyer for being the primary reader of my thesis. Next, I would like to thank all the participants and those involved in my research. Starting with the founders of Ukuleles for Peace, Paul Moore and his wife Daphna Orion for immediately taking me under their wing the first week of my research in Israel. These two very kind individuals invited me into their home and personal lives and made me feel very welcome. I would like to thank every member of Ukuleles for Peace for allowing me to take part of your rehearsals for the two months I was there.
