After several momentous years that have, amongst other things, seen the commissioning and installation of a fine new organ in the Priory Church, the 60th Festival, and two changes of Director, we look forward to a ‘business as usual’ festival this year. Entitled ‘Beauty came like the setting sun’, this year’s festival commemorates the centenary of the end of World War One, referring to the works of several prominent war poets. Some festival-goers will be aware that Siegfried Sassoon has a connection to this area—his family lived in the nearby village of Heytesbury. Each day during the festival is marked by reference to a particular poem that will be the focus of the sermon for that day. -

Jewish Liturgical Music for Treble Choirs Prepared by Miriam Altman, July, 2014
Jewish Liturgical Music for Treble Choirs Prepared by Miriam Altman, July, 2014 A couple notes on current Jewish liturgical music • Like the Christian liturgy, Jewish liturgical music often contains many, many settings of identical texts, varying in style over the years. Just like one can hear dozens of settings of “Gloria,” or “Kyrie eleison,” you will find a comparable amount of “Ose Shalom”s and “Mi Chamochah”s. In the past couple decades, the school music publishers have become aware of this and will sometimes have a prolific composer (e.g. John Leavitt) write a song using Jewish liturgical texts. These pieces are not performed in synagogues, nor would most Jews be familiar with them. (The same goes for almost anything published for Chanukah.) Songs in the list below are ones that would be recognizable to most American Jews, particularly in Reform and, to a lesser extent, Conservative congregations. Orthodox Jews probably would not be, keeping to much older or internally-known melodies. • Cantors and song leaders will improvise and arrange harmonies from melodic lead sheets, both for themselves (during congregational singing) and for small group or choral performances. You should feel absolutely welcome to do the same. “Traditional” arrangements, published in octavo form, are sometimes available, but they are utilized far less commonly than the practice of learning harmonies/arrangements by ear. This is not unlike the Black gospel choral tradition (and other folk traditions, of course). Use YouTube, iTunes, or connect with a cantor at a local synagogue for ideas. Professional Jewish cantors, by the way, are ordained clergy and complete years of schooling to receive their certification. -

1 Lahiton [email protected]
Lahiton [email protected] 1 Lahiton magazine was founded in 1969 by two partners, Uri Aloni and David Paz, and was funded by an investment from Avraham Alon, a Ramlah nightclub owner and promoter. Uri Aloni was a pop culture writer and rabid music fan while David Paz, another popular music enthusiast, was an editor who knew his way around the technical side of print production. The name “Lahiton,” reportedly invented by entertainers Rivka Michaeli and Ehud Manor, combines the Hebrew words for hit, “lahit” and newspaper, “iton.” Lahiton [email protected] 2 Uri Aloni cites the British fan magazines Melody Maker and New Music Express as influences; (Eshed 2008) while living in London and writing for the pop music columns of Yediot Ahronot and La-Isha, he would lift editorial content and photos from the latest British pop magazines, write articles, then find an Israel-bound traveler at the London airport to transport the articles into the hands of his editors. In Lahiton’s early days, Aloni and Paz continued this practice (Edut 2014). Eventually, however Lahiton’s flavor became uniquely secular Israeli. Although in 1965 the Beatles were famously denied permission to perform in Israel (Singer 2015), by the time Lahiton got started in 1969 there was no stemming the tide; the international pop music scene had permeated Israel’s insular and conservative culture. At the time there were no other Hebrew publications that covered what was going on both at home and in America and Europe. Lahiton began as a bimonthly publication, but within the first year, when press runs of 5000 copies sold out on a regular basis, Paz and Aloni turned it into a weekly. -

POWER OF MUSIC V The past month in Jewish history and in our calendar has been momentous. We experienced Israel’s 70th anniversary, celebrated in several excellent events in our community, the 51st anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem, and the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In the midst of all this euphoria, what might have escaped your attention is Israel’s winning the prestigious Eurovision song contest on May 12th 2018 in Lisbon, Portugal. That night in our Jewish calendar - the 28th of Iyar, commemorates the reunification of Jerusalem during the Six Day War of 1967. This is the fourth time Israel has won Eurovision, one of the world’s most famous international song contests. The winning song “Toy”, a pop anthem about female independence, was performed by 25 year old Netta Barzilai, accompanied by her signature “chicken dance.” Netta had placed third by the official judges, but won thanks to tele-voters from around the world catapulting her to victory. Hours before the victory, Israeli superstar film actress Gal Gadot had urged her twenty million Instagram followers to vote for Israel’s entry. Including words like “I’m not your toy you stupid boy...,” it was influenced by the #MeToo movement. The Eurovision contest has often been embroiled in political and religious controversies, although politically tinged songs are unofficially disallowed. -
