Re: contemporary liturgical music

[Judy Pinnolis <pinnolis...>]

Well,.... the Encyclopedia of Jewish Music by Macy Nulman DOESN'T HAVE A
SINGLE _WOMAN_ AS COMPOSER mentioned either.... and only two or three women
included at all....who were ethnomusicologists, Ruth Rubin and Edith
Gershon-Kiwi. (There might have been one more woman mentioned but I can't
remember who at this moment). 
Judy


 Astonishingly, Macy 
>Nulman's otherwise fine ENCYCLOPEDIA OF JEWISH MUSIC, published in the 
>mid-70s, doesn't even have an *entry* for Shlomo, whose melodies even then 
>were being sung by Jews all over the world.  But it did have many entries 
>for numerous composers of cantorial or "art" music settings whose music is 
>virtually *never* sung, or recognized, by Jews *anywhere* in the world.  But 
>Cantor Nulman, along with many of his colleagues, deemed this music worthy 
>and Shlomo's unworthy.
