  • The Australian
    MarchFebruary 2001 2001 Womadelaide Previewed Appeared in - The Adelaide Review Womadelaide 2001 It is February and the “off-year” for the Adelaide Festival, so it must be time for Womadelaide. This is the sixth incarnation -including the Pimba train ride and the McLaren Vale boutique version in 1998- and expectation is now higher than ever. This event has come a long way since its incep- tion as part of the 1992 Festival of Arts. Back then, director Rob Brookman had originally intended to use Belair National Park as the venue but the CFS vetoed the idea for safety reasons. The move to Botanic Park was a last minute stroke of genius and it is now clear that its continued availabil- ity has ensured that Womadelaide has become a significant drawcard for the city, one of those blue chip major events claimed by politicians, tour- ism promoters and various other purveyors of things Sensational. Fortunately, though, Womad is sufficiently idiosyncratic to resist corpo- rate takeover. Amongst the estimated 65,000 visits to the park are repre- sented all generations, many tribes, and most demographics.. Womad is a great big picnic with extraordinary music, high production values, quality amenities and skilfully unobtrusive management. Few events on this scale are as relaxed, amiable and safe for everyone in the perimeter. For all these reasons, the recidivist rate is high. In 1999 it was estimated that 90% had been to Womad before. Which accounts for the ritualised as- pects of the occasion. The layout is reassuringly familiar, the protocols kept scrupulously intact, even the weather somehow manages to be ideal- sunny days and sublimely balmy evenings.

The second part of the collection examines the klezmer "revival" that began in the s. Krakow is not far from Auschwitz and each year, a March of the Living, which takes visitors on a walk from Auschwitz to the nearby Birkenau death camp, draws tens of thousands of participants. Its organizers did not shy from the topic. But, I continued, we don't celebrate the military victory. Some aspects of these Klezmer- feeling Cohen compositions, as rendered, were surely modern in some of the instruments used, but the distinctive Jewish Klezmer feel shines through, and arguably, these numbers by Cohen are the most widely-heard examples of Klezmer music in the modern era due to Cohen's prolific multi-generational appeal and status as a popular poet-songwriter-singer who was very popular on several continents in the Western World from the s until his death in Ornstein, the director of the Jewish Community Center, said that while the festival celebrates the past, he wants to help restore Jewish life to the city today. All About Jazz needs your support Donate. Until this can be accessed, Feldman's detailed study will remain the go-to work for anyone wishing to understand or explore this endlessly suggestive subject. With Chanukah now past, and the solstice just slipped, I am running out of time to post some thoughts about the holiday.

  • 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.

  • 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 rise of interest in heavy metal academically reflects the growth of the genre as a normal or con- tested part of everyday lives around the globe. The aim of this series is to provide a home and focus for the growing number of monographs and edited collections that analyse heavy metal and other heavy music; to publish work that fits within the emergent subject field of metal music studies; that is, work that is critical and inter-disciplinary across the social sciences and humanities; to publish work that is of interest to and enhances wider disciplines and subject fields across social sciences and the humanities; and to support the development of early career researchers through providing opportunities to convert their doctoral theses into research monographs.
