Description
Old Jewish Folk Music: The Collections and Writings of Moshe Beregovski This collection presents a unique cultural record of Jewish folk music in its living context during the 1930s. Ethnomusicologist Moshe Beregovski's essays explore the influence of Ukrainian musical traditions and the characteristics of klezmer music, while also delving into the distinctive scale patterns of the genre. Included are Beregovski's anthologies of hundreds of folk songs, featuring full Yiddish and English song texts, accompanied by his detailed notes on origins and variants. Each song is carefully notated exactly as it was sung, providing a valuable insight into the music of Eastern Europe during this period. A valuable resource for anyone interested in Jewish folk music and its cultural context, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the traditions and practices of the time.
