MUSIC 30N: A Stranger in a Strange Land: Jewish Musics in Translation (JEWISHST 30N)

What does it mean to be a stranger in a strange land? For centuries Jewish people have struggled to shape their identities in unfamiliar surroundings, using music to remember the past and generate new, hybrid identities. In this class we adopt the metaphor of translation to think about how minority Jewish communities bridge distinct languages, musical idioms, and cultural practices. Our theme will take us on a journey across time and space¿from Italy to India, New York, Syria, Russia, and Israel. We consider the case of Salamone Rossi, a 17th-century Italian Jewish composer who moved uneasily between dual careers in the synagogue and a secular/Christian court. We also explore a group of Indian Jews (Bene Israel) who combine idioms learned from Jewish and Christian missionaries with local Hindu musical traditions. In all our examples musicians translate languages, musical styles, and cultures to unite memories of a Jewish past with the realities of minority status in the present. The class format includes listening, discussion, some singing, student presentations, and guest lectures.

MUSIC 33N: The Beethoven Project

This seminar is designed to coincide with the opening of the Bing Concert Hall in January 2013. During this first season a variety of events will be taking place on campus under the rubric "The Beethoven Project," including performances of all nine symphonies and all five piano concertos. In addition to offering an introduction to the music of Beethoven, especially that being performed in Bing, the course will consider broader questions of biography and reception history. How have images of the composer and the fortunes of his music changed over time? How did his compositions come to define the paradigm of Western classical music? What impact has he had on popular culture? The class will include concert visits and film screenings, and is open to all levels of musical expertise (the ability to read music is not a requirement).
