Yiddish Song with Zisl Slepovitch
Monday 12:00 – 1:30 PM: Feb. 24, Mar. 3, 17, 24, 31, Apr. 21, 28, May 5, 12, 19
Yiddish song, old and modern, created by known and anonymous authors, covering many different themes. Each class opens with a nigun (a wordless Hassidic tune), which serves as a form of introduction and meditation, followed by several hand-picked songs, typically united by a certain theme — either a topic (e.g. love, labor, food, macaronic songs, period songs, Yiddish theatre) or a creator (e.g. Mordkhe Gebirtig, Aliza Greenblat).
The workshop will broaden your knowledge of Yiddish songs, their creators, performers, historic recordings, and connections between different genres of Jewish and related music. The workshop is just as much about “how” as it is about “what.”
Course Tools: You will receive a printable PDF book before each session.
Prerequisites: Interest and curiosity. Backgrounds in music (including sight-reading) and Yiddish are helpful but are not a requirement.
