The past thirty years have seen extraordinary
diversification in Jewish worship styles, particularly in the music of
worship. Congregations continually debate melodies, the use of
instruments, and texts to sing. These choices are not made in a vacuum
but in the context of broader decisions. Listen to some of the music
being revived, discarded, created, and experimented with. Explore the
insights Jewish musicologists provide to the ways music functions, both
in the service and as a symbol of the personal cultural values and
preferences of Jews. This course picks up where Cantor Josee Wolff left
off in her popular 2005 lecture, "Who Stole My Tune: A Century of
Change in Reform Music." |
