Can't say that I agree that everything Himmelman does is Jewish. But the 2
pieces cited are
excellent examples. Particularly "Untitled", which is a beautiful example of
how music about a
Jewish subject is clearly Jewish, even without any "typical Jewish" modes.
This one made the 13 &
14 year olds in my "What Is Jewish Music?" course really sit up and pay
attention. Sparked an
interesting discussion, too.
