<< The Article of Braun is very interesting. Some of the musical idioms used 
by

Shostakovitch are indeed borrowed from the Jewish Folk tradition. I think

it's quite clear in the Lullaby for example. Of course, Shostakovitch, made

these folk melodies into Art songs, and the folk element is one of the

layers only.

Braun explains how Shostakovitch wanted to set the music on the original

Yiddish, but did not know the language well enough to do so. In his article,

Braun offers a setting of Shostakovitch songs on the original Yiddish. Kind

of doing what Shostakovitch would have liked to do.....

I use this setting when I perform the songs, and I find it very beautiful.

(Much better than the German singer use sometimes when their Russian is too

shaky)


To the Bay Area people: I'll be at the Freight and Salvage Sunday June 30th

at 8Pm. Ok , nothing really Jewish. Songs about life on the streets all over

the world. And, to justify this message on this list, one song by Gebirtig,

in Yiddish (not in Polish!). With Thaddeus Pinkston piano, and Jeremy Cohen,

violin.

To my ears, Shostakovich created new music entirely for the yiddish

folk lyrics. -Itzik
