  • Chasing Yiddishkayt: a Concerto in the Context of Klezmer Music
    CHASING YIDDISHKAYT: A CONCERTO IN THE CONTEXT OF KLEZMER MUSIC A Monograph Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Musical Arts By Julia Alford-Fowler May, 2013 Committee Members: Dr. Matthew Greenbaum, Department of Music Studies, Advisor Dr. Rollo Dilworth, Department of Education Dr. Cynthia Folio, Department of Music Studies Dr. Maurice Wright, Department of Music Studies Dr. Steven Zohn, Department of Music Studies, Outside Reader © by Julia Alford-Fowler 2013 All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT Chasing Yiddishkayt: Music for Accordion, Klezmorim Concertino, Strings, and Percussion is a four-movement composition that combines the idioms of klezmer music with aspects of serialism. I aimed to infuse the piece with a sense of yiddishkayt: a recognizable, rooted Jewishness. In order to accomplish this goal, I based each movement on a different klezmer style. I used the improvisatory-style of the Romanian Jewish doina as the foundation for Movement 1. For Movements 2 through 4 I selected tunes from the 1927 Hoffman Manuscript–a fake-book assembled by Joseph Hoffman in Philadelphia for his son, Morris–as the starting point in my process, and also for the generation of pitch material. Each movement places the tunes in a different serialist context through the use of abstraction, manipulation and regeneration. The orchestration of the composition is designed as a modified a concerto structure that alternates between featuring the accordion and contrasting the klezmorim concertino (fiddle, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, tuba, and accordion) with the orchestra. Depending on the context, the percussion section functions as part of the concertino and the orchestra.
