singing without vibrato
hi, since vocal cords vibrate, it's kind of impossible to "sing without vibrato"; what is usually meant by that is singing without the wide vibrato that characterizes so much western art music performance practice. Different cultures and different time periods have various approaches to degree and type of vocal vibrato, but singing early music, of course, poses the probably never-to-be-solved problem of figuring out what they actually sounded like. But in any case, it's unlikely to have been either, say, Bel Canto or Peking OPera cheers, Judith -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -+ Hosted by Shamash: The Jewish Network http://shamash.org A service of Hebrew College, which offers online courses and an online MA in Jewish Studies, http://hebrewcollege.edu/online/ * * FREE JEWISH LEARNING * * Shamash invites you to join MyJewishLearning.com, a comprehensive, objective, authoritative and interactive learning resource in all areas of Judaism.

Tsimbl & Clarinet: Pete Rushefsky & Dena Ressler @ Tonic (NYC) Sept 14
For immediate release... Contact: Dena Ressler ([EMAIL PROTECTED], 781-643-1957) or Pete Rushefsky ([EMAIL PROTECTED], 716-713-4293) PRESENTING: Pete Rushefsky (tsimbl) and Dena Ressler (clarinet). "From Belaia Tserkov to Syracuse: klezmer music then and now." Original compositions by Pete Rushefsky, tunes collected by Moshe Beregovski in Dena Ressler's ancestral town, and other rarely performed treasures - for hammered dulcimer and clarinet. Live on New York's Lower East Side Tonic's Klezmer Brunch, curated by David Krakauer Date: Sunday, September 14, 2003 Time: Two sets: 1:30 and 3:00 Place: Tonic (www.tonicnyc.com), 212 358-7501 107 Norfolk St. (between Delancey and Rivington) F train to Delancey Street; J, M, & Z trains to Essex; 14A bus to Rivington/Delancey Admission: $10 per set or $15 for both. BIOGRAPHIES PETE RUSHEFSKY Tsimblist Pete Rushefsky is a leading revivalist of the tsimbl, or Jewish hammered dulcimer. A string instrument played like a xylophone, the tsimbl spread from its medieval roots with migrating Jewish musicians throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Sadly, as a result of pressures such as the Holocaust, assimilation in the New World and changing musical tastes, the Jewish tsimbl tradition died out in the first half of the twentieth century. Today Pete Rushefsky is one of a handful of brave young klezmer musicians to use musicological field and archival research in recreating a performance style for this mystical zither. Accomplished as a soloist and a sympathetic accompanist, Rushefsky is a popular teacher at KlezKamp and KlezKanada and performs with some of the leading performers of the klezmer revival, including Steven Greenman, Rebecca Kaplan and Alicia Svigals. He won much critical acclaim for his recent album with violinist Elie Rosenblatt entitled "Tsimbl un Fidl: Klezmer Music for Hammered Dulcimer and Violin" (available from Hatikvah Music and Amazon.com) and appears with Michael Alpert and Deborah Strauss on Yiddish poet/songwriter Beyle Schaechter-Gottesman's new CD "Af di gasn fun der shtot - On the Streets of the City" (Yiddishland Records). Additionally, Rushefsky has authored a pioneering instructional book/tape entitled "The Essentials of Klezmer 5-String Banjo, Volume I" (available from Elderly Instruments). He has recently relocated to Syracuse, NY along with a horde of string instruments. Dena Ressler Clarinetist A staff member at the Klezmer Institute at New England Conservatory of Music and KlezKamp, Dena has taught a klezmer history class at the Conference on Judaism in Rural New England and developed a educational/entertaining musical program presented at museums, open-air concerts, schools, and libraries. A co-founder of di bostoner klezmer, she has performed at the National Yiddish Book Center, at Boston's Museum of Science, and for an internationally touring photo exibit introduced by Elie Weisel. A veteran performer, her music has enlivened numerous weddings, bar/bas mitzves, holiday celebrations at shuls, public concerts, and nursing homes (some of her favorite audiences!) with her own group and as a sub for Metropolitan Klezmer, Klezamir, and the Wholesale Klezmer Band. She currently lives in the goles/galut near Boston, MA. Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! SiteBuilder - Free, easy-to-use web site design software
Re: interesting new CD of Jewish and Irish music
How can we find out when this film will be aired? As some know I've been interested in the Irish/Jewish relationship and, particulary after teaching klezmer at Boxwood where mostly Irish and Cape Breton music is taught, I'm "hooked" even more, now learning the Irish flute itself - which at least helps in learning the simple system flute for klezmer anyway, thankfully. I'm gathering from the set list that there was no piece of music that was traditionally Irish that was played by Jews, right? When I was approached by the Irish flute star Desi Wilkenson to give him a klezmer tune or two to take back with him I said "But let me hear what Jews are playing over there!" Nothing But anyway, is there a schedule of when this film will be aired? thanks, Adrianne _ Adrianne Greenbaum Associate Professor of Flute, Mount Holyoke College Klezmer flutist: “FleytMuzik” and “Family Portrait” Classical: "Sounds of America" fluteworld or cdbaby

(I believe that there are ways to specify date ranges in > Google, as well.) I just tested out the method I use to search other Shamash lists to which I'm subscribed, and it seems to be working. It's email-based rather than Web-based. You send commands to [EMAIL PROTECTED] requesting a listing of the archive files so you know what their names are (and the names indicate the dates), and commands requesting the information you want. It appears to NOT be case-sensitive, although I suspect that if a term spread over 2 lines in the file it might not be picked up. When you get return mail from Shamash, you then know what files to request. Be aware that some of the files are large and may be sent to you in several parts. You will have to use an editor to search for the material you want. For example, I just tried this: I sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the commands index jewish-music -all search jewish-music -all "Carlebach" search jewish-music -all "birnbaum" search jewish-music -all "Birnbaum" and I received a (LARGE!) message with all the file names of the archives, as well as messages about which files had matches for my search terms, and using that was able to send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] requesting the file I wanted: get jewish-music 030814 Note that the file names reflect the dates the files were created, e.g. jewish-music 981018 and so forth.

Re: interesting new CD of Jewish and Irish music

Rather, we approached the project by attempting the delicate task of applying Irish musical sensibilities to tunes largely of Eastern European Jewish origin (here I'm referring to the Jewish, not the Irish, tunes on the disc, of course). As I indicated in my first email, the results are resolutely traditional sounding, though certainly exhibiting a mix of influences. For example, Dem Trisker Rebns Khosid is carried by uillean pipes and fiddle, with banjo and mandolin supplying the tsimbl-like back-up. (As we comment in the liner notes, this is the way the Rebbe would have played it had he possessed of a set of B pipes.) Though I suppose I could be wrong, I'm inclined to say that a specifically Jewish-Irish repertoire is either very small or doesn't exist. My guess would be that Irish Jews, who were predominantly of Eastern European origin, listened to, sang, and played similar music as their counterparts in England and America. Given their struggle to survive as a community (a major subject of the film), my further guess is that assimilatory tendencies would have been as present in their musical affinities as they were for anyone else.

Fw: One klezmer's experience
Hello from an agnostic, formerly Anglican married to another agnostic of Jewish/Christian descent. I think I understand where you're coming from in that as Jews have been persecuted mercilessly by Christians among others, Messianic Jews must seem like turncoats and to play for them would be tantamount to agreeing they had a point. Is this somewhat right? Would it not be also inappropriate for a Jew to play Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's music? Or, should a First Nations carver not show his work to another First Nations person who lives with White people and has relinquished his Native ways? I am not trying to belittle your position - I just can't get my head around not playing wonderful music for people who want to hear it. If I wanted a klezmer group to play at my non-religious wedding, should they decline because I was Christian or because I'm not a practising Jew? Would they decline to play for my husband because he is not a practising Jew? What if it was for an Australian aboriginal couple who had never heard of Judaism and weren't Jews through no fault of their own? I, myself, had no choice but to be Christian as a child - should I then be denied hearing soul-stirring, moving klezmer at special occasions? By the way, I was honored and privileged to play in the synagogue for a wedding and my hubby and I played at a Jewish friend's funeral. The service was Unitarian. Her husband told us later that he had felt numb about her passing until we played her favorite klezmer tunes during the service. He said he suddenly felt close to her and was able to cry. This was her heritage, just as mine is the skirl of Scotch bagpipes - which is not to say that I'd like to have "From Yon Bonnie Banks" played at my funeral. Come to think of it, maybe I would. But I'd also like to have "Dybbuk Shers" played, or perhaps "Nign" or "Undoing World". Shalom, Mary Lowther - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: World music from a Jewish slant Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2003 6:33 PM Subject: One klezmer's experience This concerns the Polish messianic site mentioned by Dick, but only by subject: that is, playing for messianic "Jews" (or not playing for them).Maxwell Street has been booked by messianic Jews twice in 20 years. Of course, the fact was well-hidden by the clients. In one case (a bar mitzvah), we didn't know until we got the check from the client with a New Testament message on it, and at the other one (a wedding), we didn't know till we started shmoozing with a guest on break. At the wedding, we simply stopped playing Jewish music and switched to American standards for the balance of the contract. Since it is not our choice to contribute our spirit to proselytizers for Christianity, we have since then put a clause in our contract that we don't play for messianic affairs, and if we figure out we've been booked for one, the contract is void and we get to keep the deposit. But it's only happened twice, so it's probably an unnecessary precaution.Interestingly enough, the enthusiasm of the crowd at the wedding was almost frothingly ecstatic when it came to the horas, entertaining the bride and groom, and other traditional dances.
