Monday, 12:00 – 1:30 PM ET: Oct. 20, 27, Nov. 3, 10, 17, 24, Dec. 1, 8, 15, 22
Course Goals: Yiddish song 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 session we will learn several songs, typically united by a theme, either a certain topic (love, labor, food, macaronic songs, period songs, Yiddish theatre) or a creator (e.g. Mordkhe Gebirtig, Aliza Greenblat).
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. The workshop is just as much about “how” as it is about “what.”
Course Tools: You will receive a printable PDF book before each session.
Prerequisites: Interest and curiosity. Backgrounds in music (including sight-reading) and Yiddish are helpful but are not a requirement.
