MUS 45.10 Jewish Music: Traditional and Modern
This course draws on diverse musical genres, styles, and forms of expression associated with the label “Jewish music” in order to interrogate the very notion of “Jewish music.” Examples range from traditional music associated with religious rituals to contemporary American popular songs, modern nationalist Hebrew songs, Franco-Oriental chansons, and klezmer festivals in Jewish-less spaces in Europe. Course material is accessible to students with no prior musical experience or ability to read music notation.
