  • Jewish Organists and Organs in German Synagogues
    Jewish Organists and Organs in German Synagogues The title alone sounds nonsensical to most of us. But there is now an entire book on the subject, carried out with meticulous care by a German writer, describing herself as “a scholar who is not Jewish”, prompted by her accidental discovery that such people and activities once flourished. More than that, they continue into our present era and will do so in the future, it is hoped. Her research led to a comprehensive work in German, published in 2005. Now we have its English translation, published by the Oxford University Press in 2009: The Organ and Its Music in German-Jewish Culture by Tina Frühauf ISBN 978-0-19-533706-8 (284 pages, hard-back) We regard the organ as a Christian possession, a vital part of the religious service. But it was only slowly accepted ca. 900—1100 CE, when still a primitive instrument, and even then it was not incorporated into the liturgy. By comparison, instrumental music (whatever its form may have been) was apparently used in prayer by the ancient Hebrews; there is even a possibility that an organ — the magrepha — was used in the Temple in Jerusalem. It was not until the 15th century that Christianity adopted the organ as a devotional instrument, and this was slow to take hold. The Presbyterian Church, for example, did not accept the organ in services until well into the 19th century. There was concern that organ music would be regarded as frivolous, unworthy of the gravity of religion. Jewish orthodox practice continues to take this attitude.

  • April 2008 in This Issue
    The Sacred in Opera April 2008 In this Issue... Ruth Dobson For the next two editions of the SIO newsletter, we are taking an in-depth look at one-act Christmas operas which can be easily produced and are appropriate for both children and adults. This issue we will profile Amahl and the Night Visitors, Only a Miracle, St. Nicholas, Good King Wenceslas, and The Shepherd’s Play. The next issue will highlight The Christmas Rose, The Greenfield Christmas Tree, The Finding of the King, The Night of the Star, and others. Thanks to Allen Henderson for sharing his insight into a triology of operas by Richard Shephard, Good King Wenceslas, The Shepherd’s Play, and St. Nicholas, with us in this issue. As great as Amahl and the Night Visitors is, there are these and other works waiting to be discovered by all of us. We hope you will find these suggestions interesting. These operas vary in length from 10 minutes to an hour, and can be presented alone or paired with others. Amahl and the Night Visitors is almost always a successful box office draw. Pairing it with a lesser known work could make for a very enjoyable afternoon or evening presentation and give audiences an opportunity to enjoy other equally wonderful works. Several of these operas use children as cast members, while others call for only adult performers, but all have stories appropriate for children. They are written in a variety of styles and have very different production requirements. Producers would need to take into consideration the ages of the children that are the target audience.

  • "Propheten" Von Kurt Weill
    ((Prophetenn von Kurt Weill Ende 1935 erschien in New York im Verlag «Viking Hau se» << The Eternal Road », Ludwig Lewisohns sorgfältige Überset­ zung von «Der Weg der Verheißung», für die man einen griffi­ geren und «verkaufbareren » Titel al s «The Road of Promi se» gewählt hatte. Im Vorwort dieses Buches wurde die Urauffüh­ rung vo n Werfels «Drama » (bzw. «Bibelspiel », wie noch auf dem ersten Manuskript zu lesen war) in Lewisohns Überset­ zung angekündigt, und zwar für Jänner 1936 im Manhattan Opera Hau se in einer Inszenierung von Max Reinhardt. Nur wen ige Tage vor der geplanten Premiere meldeten die Produzenten Konkurs an . Reinhardt reiste nach Hollywood ab, und Werfel kehrte nach Europa zurück. Genau ein Jahr später - am 4. Jänner 1937 - und in Abwesenheit von Werfel brach­ te Reinhardt eine vielfach veränderte Version von «Th e Eternal Road » am selben Schauplatz in Manhattan heraus, begleitet von einem gigantischen Werbefeldzug und unter al lgemeinem Beifall von Presse und Publikum. Schon im September 1935 hatte Reinhardt über erbarmungs­ losen Kürzungen eines Dramas gesessen, das über sechs Stunden dauern sollte, wobei mindestens 3 '/, Stunden Musik erklungen wären . Angeblich wegen dieser ungeheuren Länge, aber auch aus Gründen der Zweckdienlichkeit strich Reinhardt fa st den ganzen vierten und letzten Akt. in dem Weill derart von dem Stoff gefangen genommen worden war, daß er - wiewohl in großer Zeitnot - sogar noch jene Stel len vertonte, die von Werfel als Sprechtexte konzipiert worden waren . Werfel hatte den IV. Akt ursprünglich mit «Propheten » über• schrieben, nicht «Die Propheten », aber aus unbekanntem Grund hatte Lewisohn diesen unspezifischen Titel mit «The Proph ets» übersetzt und damit auf mißverständliche Weise auf die ganze Reihe von Propheten und Heiligen angespielt, die in den hebräischen Königreichen Palästinas vom 8.

  • The Dreadful Credibility of Absurd Things: a Tendency in Fantasy Theory 1
    Mark Bould The Dreadful Credibility of Absurd Things: A Tendency in Fantasy Theory 1 In Britain it has been estimated that 10% of all books sold are fantasy. And of that fantasy, 10% is written by Terry Pratchett. So, do the sums: 1% of all books sold in Britain are written by Terry Pratchett. Coo. 2 Although it is unclear whether, by ‘fantasy’, Butler intends a narrow denition (generic fantasy, i.e., imitation Tolkien heroic or epic fantasy and sword ’n’ sorcery) or a broad denition (the fantastic genres, i.e., generic fantasy, sf (science ction), horror, super- natural gothic, magic realism, etc.), such statistics nonethless make the need for a Marxist theory – or preferably, Marxist theories – of the fantastic self- evident. The last twenty or thirty years have witnessed a remarkable expansion in the study of fantastic texts and genres. Literary studies has embraced the gothic, fairy tales and sf, and screen studies has developed a complex critique of horror and is now beginning 1 With profound thanks to China Miéville, Kathrina Glitre, Greg Tuck – friends, colleagues, comrades. Thanks also to Historical Materialism ’s anonymous readers, and to José B. Monleón for translating a passage from Benito Pérez Galdós’ s The Reason of Unreason (1915) and thereby providing me with a title. 2 Butler 2001, p. 7.

However, there is a remarkable absence in all this endeavour. The rst major Marxist sf theorist, Darko Suvin, notoriously described (narrowly-dened) fantasy as ‘just a subliterature of mystication’ and asserted that the ‘[c]ommerical lumping of it into the same category as SF is thus a grave disservice [to sf] and a rampantly socio-pathological phenomenon’.
