COZ 23: December 1, 2020. Daniel Katz and Boaz Tarsi Synagogue Music Before Sulzer
Who remembers the melodies of the 56th century (c 1740-1840)? This is the time before Sulzer’s Schir Zion and similar printed collections. We have, however, many cantorial manuscripts from this period. Boaz Tarsi and Daniel Katz will discuss the music, Daniel’s research, and whether we can sing these melodies today.
Dr Daniel Katz is an American musicologist, composer, and rabbi living in Germany, a specialist in the history of synagogue music, especially ca. 1800.
Dr Boaz Tarsi a respected scholar of the theory of Jewish prayer music as well as an oft performed composer. He is an associate professor at the Jewish Theological Seminary.

She commenced this work with the support of the JMI with the inaugural Judeo-Arabic conference-workshop Yallah in London in 2020, which will continue in Morocco in 2021. Ilana’s work has appeared in Ethnomusicology Forum, African and Black Diaspora, and the Journal of African Cultural Studies.At SOAS, Ilana teaches classes on Jewish and Middle Eastern music, hip hop, and critical/cultural theory.

Dear Colleagues and Friends
Thank you and have a lovely summer
A big thank you, from all of us, to Ilana Webster-Kogen and Clara Wenz for a scintillating session today, on an area not often covered so far, to end our COZzes for the year. We really enjoyed your enthusiastic presentation and the conversation which followed.
I want to thank all the speakers over the past 12 months – more than 100 of you, who have put before us such interesting scholarship and experience in Jewish music of all kinds.
I am so glad that Phil Alexander will now manage the booking and marketing of COZ when we start again in October. He looks forward to hearing from you with your proposals and booking your slots. Please reach him here: Phil.Alexander@ed.ac.uk
Talking of the migration of Torah Scrolls today, segued nicely into Gordon Dale talking about a real conference he is exploring for 2023 with a provisional title of ‘Migration and Transformation in Jewish Music’. He would welcome your participation on his team in this exploration for the conference – so please Contact Gordon gdale@huc.edu
Thank you to Edwin Seroussi, one of our mentors, for popping in to say Hi at our birthday party and offering to be more involved next season. It was great to hear words from him and also from our younger and also more senior scholars, on how much COZ has opened their eyes and ears and provided a platform to engage with colleagues and friends world-wide at the touch of a button.

Judit Frigyesi Niran is a teacher, musicologist, ethnomusicologist, writer, scholar, and the author of several dozen articles. Her musicological interest comprises the 19th-21st centuries (Mendelssohn, Kurtág, Feldman, Ligeti, etc.) with focus on Béla Bartók (Béla Bartók and turn-of-the-century Budapest, California, 1998, 2000). She was the only scholar who systematically collected, transcribed and analyzed the sounds of the Jewish ritual in Communist Eastern Europe after the Holocaust — with especial focus on the prayer of the simple people and untrained ba’ale tefillah (Writing on Water: The Sounds of Jewish Prayer, CEU Press, 2018). She is also a poet and photographer, creator of installations, short films and multi-media projects.Alex Klein was born in London. He has been passionate about Jewish music, especially chazzanut all his life. As a youth he took services in Finchley Synagogue and studied at Jews College. He settled in Manchester where he brought significant Jewish artists and cantors for concerts to the UK. He worked with Geraldine Auerbach, Director of the Jewish Music Institute, as head of its Synagogue Music Section. Together they created the European Cantors Association in 2012 which runs Cantors Conventions in European and British cities and other programmes.

Please join us for
COZ 76, Tuesday April 12Di Megile fun Vaymar: Part II
The Book of Esther for 21st century Weimar
A reminder that tomorrow’s COZ is the second part of Alan Bern’s stunning Purimshpil di megile fun vaymar – including appearances from Itzik Manger, Goethe, and an all-star international Yiddish cast.If you saw last week’s absolutely outstanding first act, you will doubtless be back for more. If you missed it, please come along tomorrow anyway – we can have a quick recap and there will be plenty to occupy us in Act Two!
Did Goethe speak Yiddish? Did he write a Purim play? Is Jewish art “too sentimental?” Did anyone survive the Biblical flood? Can Great Authors save us? Can we learn from past mistakes? Tune in to JMI’s “Conversations on Zoom” this Tuesday at 6 pm Berlin time and find out by watching and discussing Part Two of Alan Bern’s “Di megile fun Vaymar” with Alan Bern and Phil Alexander.

Judentum and Das Judentum: Rethinking the Narrative on 19th century German Jewish Art Music
Musicologists agree that the concept of “Jewish music” has varied historically, geographically, and theoretically throughout scholarship and criticism. Jewishness can be and has been musically expressed in different ways in different periods, and the concept of Jewishness in art music confounds easy categorization
Ann Glazer Niren (Indiana University Southeast)
Four Sabras: A Family Portrait
Many of Leonard Bernstein’s compositions have become staples of the twentieth-century American musical canon, yet there are still a few of his pieces which are relatively unknown. One such work is Four Sabras for solo piano…
