Just as he can adapt the style and tone of his playing to suit a range of different kinds of music, he also knows how to use his natural talent as an actor to imitate different dialects and foreign accents, and to do funny voices. He’s also a master storyteller, skilled at weaving tales full of surprise and imagination — hardly surprising, then, that he has been invited to lend his rich, deep tones to several recordings of children’s classics. Camille Saint-Saëns, who loved animals more than he did people, was inspired to write his “Grande Fantaisie zoologique” while on holiday in Austria in 1886. With a touch of mischief, he reserved it for the annual Shrove Tuesday concert he gave to his close friends, and forbade the public performance of this lighthearted “occasional” piece during his lifetime, in the interests of protecting his reputation as a distinguished composer of concertos, symphonies and opera.

  • Classical Music and the Hebrew Song Repertoire YOSEF GOLDENBERG
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Classical Music and the Hebrew Song Repertoire YOSEF GOLDENBERG The repertoire of Hebrew folk and popular songs has various links to the tradition of classical music, some of which we will examine here. These links include: occasional textual references, musical quotations, stylistic imitations, biographical relationships of Israeli art music composers to the folk or popular repertoire and vice versa, classical performances of Israeli songs, stylistic features shared with classical music (much more prominent in Israeli songs than in Anglo-American pop-rock music), and occasionally even quasi-classical artistic devices (not necessarily in songs whose style resembles classical music). References to and Use of Classical Music in Hebrew Songs Textual references to classical music appear in many Hebrew songs, especially those that are humoristic in style. Classical music generally serves as a stereotypic symbol of high art, whether it is being praised for being exemplary, or blamed for being arrogant.1 Specific composers mentioned in song texts are usually interchangeable; specific works are hardly ever mentioned, and, when they are, the reference does not 1 For example, Beethoven’s name is mentioned as a symbol of genius in Ata Pele [You are a Miracle] (Chava Alberstein, 1989); a hostile approach appears in Be-Gova ha-‘Einayim [At Eye Level] (Uzi Chitman, 1995). I refer to the names of the composer or lyrics writer (according to context) and year of composition or release. I found many of these details in MOOMA’s listings at http://www.mooma.com, or at ACUM [the Israeli ASCAP] site at http://www.acum.org.

The purpose of these seminars has been to help Jewish academicians confront their Jewishness, a confrontation which often leads them into involvement with Jewish communal concerns and activities both on and off the campus. Over 275 academicians, from all types of universities and from every part of the country, have participated. During the last two years the AJC has attempted to maximize the impact of these seminars by conducting follow-up activities with the alumni. One of these activities was a special two week program in Israel. Eight academicians, alumni of previous winter seminars, spent from June 12-June 26, 1984, in intensive dialogues with a variety of representative Israelis.

    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.
