  • David's Punishment As a Window Into the Torah As a Song
    David’s Punishment for Singing ‘Study of King David’ (Julia Margaret Cameron, 1866) Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my ְִזרמוֹת ... וּיָה - ִליקּח ֶיHֻ -- גוּימר ְֵבּיְבָת גוּימר pilgrimage." Ps 119:54 1 In an enigmatic aggada the Talmud seems to exhort King David for his extolling the divine in Psalm 119:54 by describing the Torah as a song: Thy statutes have been my songs. The gemoroh seems to critique David for reducing the Torah to a mere song. Let us examine this midrash to explore the depths of what Torah seems to mean to the rabbis and what song represents. The critique is based on their reading of the pericope in II Samuel chapter 6 that describes the moving of the Ark from Kiryat Ye’arim to Jerusalem and the tragic consequences that ensued and the delay of that movement resulting from the tragedy. Prooftexts And they set the ark of God upon a new cart, and brought it out of 3 ג את ִַַויֶּכּרבוּ ְ - הןוֲֹאר ִ,יםֱָא5ה ֶאל - חָהָלגֲﬠ ָ,הָשֲׁד ָ,הָשֲׁד חָהָלגֲﬠ the house of Abinadab that was in the hill; and Uzzah and Ahio, the ִַויּ ָשֻּׂאהוּ, ִמֵבּית ֲאִביָנָדב ֲאֶשׁר ַבִּגְּבָﬠה; ְוֻﬠָזּא ְוַאְחיוֹ, .sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart ,אבנדִבינְבּאנ יתה ,םגֲֵָ ִיֲֶָֹ - החָלֲגָהﬠ ָָ.הֲשׁדָ And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the 4 ד ִַויּ ָשֻּׂאהוּ, ִמֵבּית ֲאִביָנָדב ֲאֶשׁר ַבִּגְּבָﬠה, ִﬠם, ֲארוֹן .hill, with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark י;ֱם5הָהא ְַחאִו ,הְוֹי לcֹל ריָהֵאְנִפֵ ָ.ןוֹ And David and all the house of Israel played before the LORD with 5 ה ְוָכל ְָוִודד

  • For, Lo, the Winter Is Past, the Rain Is Over and Gone; The
    "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away..." Song of Solomon 2:11-13 COUNCILS AND KINGS 17 fter proceeding through customs, I left the port area and headed for a Christian youth hostel in Haifa. I had only enough money left for three nights at the hostel; and Aso I registered for three nights, and was led to a bunk in a large, airy room. After unpacking my few possessions, I sat down on the bunk and at once began to feel sorry for myself. Until the Bible classes were to begin in two weeks' time, I had nothing to do and nowhere to go and almost no money left whatsoever. And constantly over the past weeks I had worried about Mike and Joey. I missed them so much, and began even to resent their step-mother, who now was able to care for them in all the ways that I longed to. As I had nothing and there was no clear direction from the Lord, all I did was to sit on the bunk and make myself as gloomy as possible. Some time passed before there was a soft knock at the door to my room. The director of the youth hostel came in with his wife.

  • Sephardic Dissertation Post-Defense
    Informed and Informative: New Choral Arrangements of Sephardic Music Sarah Riskind A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts University of Washington 2018 Reading Committee: Giselle Wyers, Chair Geoffrey Boers JoAnn Taricani Program Authorized to Offer Degree: School of Music University of Washington !i © 2018 Sarah Riskind !ii Abstract Informed and Informative: New Choral Arrangements of Sephardic Music Sarah Riskind Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Giselle Wyers School of Music In the choral field, there is an opportunity for greater awareness and understanding of Sephardic Jewish music. A small but significant number of choral arrangements exist, but it is difficult for conductors to acquire the knowledge necessary to inform their singers and audience members effectively. This study discusses how published choral arrangements of Judeo-Spanish, or Ladino, music reflect the Mediterranean heritage of Sephardic Jews, in addition to their origins in medieval Spain and Portugal. Three new arrangements created by the author as a central part of the dissertation show how musical techniques and background information can convey nuances about Sephardic history and culture. They reflect features such as the Turkish makam modal system, heterophonic textures, Mediterranean-inspired vocal production recommendations, and instruments native to the regions of the Sephardic diaspora. The romance “Lavaba la Blanka Ninya,” the copla “Esta Noche de Purim,” and the cantiga de novia “Las Kazas de la Boda” demonstrate how arrangers can be more transparent about the Western influences on music from other cultures. !iii TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

  • The Threshing Floor CD Released January 29, 2010
    The Threshing Floor CD released January 29, 2010 About The Threshing Floor In the Bible, the threshing floor was a place that drew people together. Villagers brought their crops to this circle of packed earth or paving stones at harvest to separate the grain from the chaff. The threshing floor was the setting for many of life’s most important cycles and several biblical stories. More than just an everyday place, the threshing floor transformed over time into something sacred: King David purchased one in Jerusalem to serve as a sacred altar, which became the foundation for the first Temple. Our music, like the threshing floor, draws our loving community near to be nourished by the work of so many of its talented members. And like the transformation of King David’s floor into a sacred space, the music of Congregation Bet Haverim uplifts seemingly commonplace or secular pieces, uncovering their inner spiritual depth and holiness. The threshing floor is a fitting metaphor for Congregation Bet Haverim. Like other Reconstructionist Jewish communities, we wrestle with our traditions in an ongoing effort to separate what remains meaningful from that which no longer serves us. This is an evolving process, like the synagogue itself, which was founded by a small group of gay and lesbian Jews. Bet Haverim, or “house of friends,” is now a diverse community embracing all Jews and their loved ones, committed to innovations built upon solid Jewish traditions and values. This CD, our second collection, offers Jewish music from distant lands and times alongside works from other traditions and songs composed and arranged by members of our own chorus.

Ginat, he informs us, published articles on the grammar of Edo, but what made him “truly famous was his discovery of the Enamite Hymns . they were not only a new-found link in a chain that bound the beginnings of recorded history to the ages before, but—in themselves—splendid and inci- sive poetry.” One thing, however, surprised the narrator. “All these scholars a,rmed that the gods of Enam and their priests were male; how was it that they did not catch in the hymns the cadence of a woman’s song?” ()*-–*").

  • Contemporary Jewish Music in America
    Contemporary Jewish Music in America BY MARK KLIGMAN J EWISH MUSIC IN AMERICA has become a growth industry over the past few decades. Over 2,000 recordings of Jewish music are cur- rently available, with close to 250 new releases produced each year. And although most listeners and consumers are aware of only a few per- formers, more than 400 artists and groups are engaged in creating and performing this music.1 Beyond the impressive numbers, the Jewish music being created, per- formed, preserved, and disseminated today in America not only reflects the vast changes that have taken place in American Jewish life, but rep- resents a quintessentially American Jewish phenomenon. The scope of contemporary Jewish music encompasses a wide range of genres and styles, including music for the synagogue, folk and popular music on religious themes, Yiddish songs, klezmer music, Israeli music, and art music by serious composers. Every sector of the Jewish commu- nity—from the most right-wing Orthodox to the most secular—partic- ipates in the Jewish music endeavor, creating, performing, and listening to the particular music that meets its taste and needs. Jewish music is sung and performed in synagogues of all sizes and types, in schools, commu- nity centers, and summer camps, at organizational conclaves, and in col- lege campus auditoriums or in concert halls as august as Carnegie Hall. Ironically, at a time when Jewish commitment is declining,2 Jewish musi- cal self-expression is on the upswing. Note: The author gratefully acknowledges the following
