Re: JEWISH-MUSIC digest 1535

[Susan Lerner <meydele...>]

In a course on Israeli popular music that Eddie Seroussi taught at UCLA 2 
years ago, he referred us to his article that has already been 
mentioned.  Other references he gave us he characterized as very general, 
outdated  or simply background about Israeli pop culture rather than about 
music.

What I did become familiar with through the course is the compilation CD 
set Israel's 240 Greatest Songs in Celebration of its 50th Anniversary, a 
10 cd set.  Alas, the textual material is all in Hebrew, except for the 
list of compositions/pieces for each of the discs.  The songs are grouped 
according to decade, rather than giving year of composition. But it does 
make for good listening.  I would imagine your library has it, Judy.  I 
ordered it from Israel.
