Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course offers both a scholarly and practical introduction to the complex musical culture of Ashkenazi Jews (ie. Jews from Central and Eastern Europe). Beginning with a broader look at the challenges of studying Jewish music, the course will offer a historical and cultural contextualization of Eastern and Central European Jewish communities and a theoretical introduction to various Ashkenazi music styles.

The remainder of the course will focus on Ashkenazi instrumental music (klezmer), Yiddish song, and liturgical (cantorial) practices as the three areas of workshop-style study, in which active music-making will be a large focus.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

The course will take advantage of various Jewish music events in Vienna including regular concerts, jam sessions, and festivals. Participation will include assignments requesting students to attend such an event and submit a written response description, in an ethnomusicological framework.

For the final project, students will present, either individually or in small groups, a musical performance framed by a scholarly introduction. These presentations will be shared in the final session or sessions of the course.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Students are expected to prepare readings (roughly one article for each session) and to participate actively in the class. The grade will be based on the final presentation, participation and several written assignments.
