NOVEMBER 2019 BNC PHOENIX CHAPTER PAGE 2 Co-Presidents’ Message Dear Fellow Brandeis Members, Thanksgiving is coming and our Phoenix BNC Chapter has so much to be thankful for. Our BNC Chapter contributed over $135,000 of the almost $1 million in donations raised during BNC's Magnify the Mind Campaign. The Campaign funds have been used to purchase and equip space for a high-speed two-photon microscope. This essential technology allows Brandeis researchers and science students the ability to observe brain activity in real time and will also help to keep Brandeis University at the forefront in research for neurodegenerative diseases. At our BNC Phoenix Fall Opening Event, we were fortunate to have as our guest speaker Joshua Trachtenberg. Dr. Trachtenberg graduated from Brandeis in 1990 and is a leader in studying the living brain in action by using advanced imaging technology. After establishing his research laboratory at UCLA, he founded a company named Neurolabware. It was their two-photon microscope that was purchased for use at Brandeis University. Our sincere thanks to our Program VPs Bonnie Clewans and Judy Krockey and the Programming Committee for creating an informative and enjoyable brunch.

    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.

    KLEZMER MUSIC, HISTORY, AND MEMORY 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Zev Feldman | 9780190244514 | | | | | Klezmer Music, History, and Memory 1st edition PDF Book Its primary venue was the multi-day Jewish wedding, with its many ritual and processional melodies, its table music for listening, and its varied forms of Jewish dance. 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.

    TOSCA Composer: Giacomo Puccini Act I — Rome, June 1800;The Church of Sant’Andrea della Valle. Napoleon Bonaparte is advancing with his army. Bonaparte is the political enemy of Scarpia and the hero of Cavaradossi and Angelotti. Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner, takes refuge in a side chapel of the church of Sant’Andrea della Valle in Rome. An elderly sacristan comes to tidy up, followed by Cavaradossi, a painter, who is at work on a portrait of the Madonna. Cavaradossi compares his Madonna’s blonde-haired, blue-eyed charm with the dark beauty of his lover, the famous singer Floria Tosca (“Recondita armonia”). Angelotti emerges from hiding to find Cavaradossi, his political ally,who promises to help his friend escape from Rome. Angelotti hides again at the sound of Tosca’s voice from outside. Tosca jealously demands to know why the door was locked. Cavaradossi reassures her, and they join in a passionate duet (“Non la sospiri”). Once Tosca has gone, Angelotti reappears and he and Cavaradossi plan his flight. A cannon shot from the Castel Sant’Angelo announces the discovery of Angelotti’s escape. They exit. The sacristan enters followed by clerics and choir boys, all excited by rumors of Bonaparte’s defeat (“Tutta qui la cantoria”). Baron Scarpia, the chief of police, arrives with his henchman Spoletta in search of the escaped prisoner. Tosca returns, and Scarpia plays upon Tosca’s jealousy in hopes of discovering Angelotti’s whereabouts (“Tosca divina”). When she leaves to seek her lover, Scarpia has her followed. As the crowd intones the “Te Deum,” Scarpia vows to bring Cavaradossi to the gallows and Tosca into his arms (“Va, Tosca! Nel tuo cuor s’annida Scarpia”).
