Yiddish Song with D. Zisl Slepovitch
Mondays 12:00–1:30 PM: July 8, 15, 22, 29, August 5
Course Goals: This workshop takes you on the road of exploration of the Yiddish song, old and modern, created by known and anonymous authors, covering many different themes. Each class opens with a nign — a wordless Hassidic tune, which serves as a form in introduction and meditation, and followed by several hand-picked songs, typically united by a certain theme – either a topic (love, labor, food, fashion) or a creator behind them (Gebirtig, Goldfaden, as well as some lesser known names).
The workshop will broaden your knowledge of the Yiddish songs, their creators, performers, historic recordings, and connections between different genres of Jewish and related music. It is just as about “how” as it is about “what.”
Course Tools: You will receive a printable PDF book before each session.
Additional Info: Open to everyone, no previous experience necessary. Ability to read music and knowledge of Yiddish will help but are not required.
