Re: Jewish Music course, a slight reprise

[Alex Lubet <lubet001...>]

I'm guessing that no matter what Jewish music course one wants to teach, 
the modes of prayer are going to be a central theoretical premise.  Beyond 
that, depending on the precise nature of the course, just about everything 
else is going to be negotiable and contingent.

This is a great discussion, one which I think will benefit everyone on this 
list, even those for whom such course might seem a peripheral interest.

To digress from the subject at hand, I had quite an experience two weeks 
ago in Vancouver performing my Bosnia Blues, a piece that also references 
the Holocaust and Israel if I were to discuss this on the list, I'd be 
dealing with the text more than the music and the response from my mostly 
Canadian audience.  If there's interest and that wouldn't be regarded as 
off-topic, I'd like to share it.  Your thoughts please?
