Jewish Themes in Classical Music

[Lee Goldberg <leegoldberg2002...>]

In a lighter vein, let's not forget Beethoven, whose finale to the Choral 
Symphony is greatly enhanced by the substitution of Peretz's "Ale Mentshn Zenen 
Brider" for Schiller's "Oda an der Freude" (see the recording by Cindy Paley on 
her CD, "Zing Along With Cindy Paley", for instance).   And, while we're at it, 
there are also the authentic, original Yiddish lyrics to "Fuer Elise" to 
consider: "Oy, iz dos a sheyne shiksele....Mayn Lizele..."  ;)
