Thank you, Judah, for those references.  The titles sound very interesting!

Janet Pape
Paris


Mark Slobin: Chosen Voices:  The History of the American Cantorate (1989),
and Tenement Songs: The Popular Music of the Jewish Immigrans (1982).  Both
University of Illinois Press.

Kay Kaufman Shelemay:  A Song of Longing (a very accessible book about her
musical research in the Ethiopian Jewish Community), and Let Jasmine Rain
Down (1998, University of Chicago Press; Finalist for the Jewish Book
Award), about music and memory among Syrian Jews.

Theodore Levin:  The Hundred Thousand Fools of God:  Musical Travels in
Central Asia (And Queens, New York) (1996, Indiana University Press):
Especially the last chapter on Jewish Central Asian Musicians in Queens, NY.

Moshe Shokeid:  Children of Circumstances:  Israeli Emigrants in New York.
(Ithaca:  Cornell University Press, 1988).  The last Chapter, on the music
of the Israeli immigrants, is wonderful.

Jeffrey Summit:  "'I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy?': Identity and Melody at an
American Simhat Torah Celebration."  Ethnomusicology (journal), v. 37 #1
(Winter, 1994?); 41-62.  A great discussion about using American melodies in
the Simhat Torah celebration at the Tremont Street Shul in Cambridge, MA.

Good luck!
Judah.
