Early Sounds of Jewish Music
There are limited written sources of Jewish music prior to 1800. The extant documents show a wide range of influences in the Middle East and Europe. Creating the sounds of early Jewish music scholars and performers developed with clues from handwritten textual documents and musical notation. Our program will combine the scholarly presentation of information and ideas along with performance. This will include performances by the UCLA Musicology Department’s Early Music Ensemble. The repertoire discussed and presented will include 16th and 17th Century Yiddish songs, liturgical music from Amsterdam in the 18th Century along with German synagogue music from the late 1700s to the early 1800s. This unique program will bring to light unique and hidden sounds.
