Re: Pre WWII Jewish Music

[Pete Rushefsky <klezbanjo...>]

 Not sure if this is what you're looking for-- and this is an American Jewish 
source-- but the Kostakowsky collection (1917, New York-- recently rereleased 
and annotated by Josh Horowitz, available through Tara) is a great example of 
how music reflected the changes in the way American Jews between the wars saw 
their world.  Zev Feldman's article on the Bulgar in the Journal of 
Ethnomusicology a few years back discusses the collection in this context.

there a body of work that can be labeled "Pre WWII Jewish Music " (in Europe) -

If there is such a distinguishable body of work, ( including Theater, Poetry, 
Literature - even Art ) - does this body of work reflect the Jewish artists' 
awareness, or perhaps lack of awareness , of their changing status in the 
world...? - Shirona * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
