The
three pieces From Jewish
Life were composed by
Swiss-American composer
Ernest Bloch in 1924, the
same year he took U.S.
citizenship. Though
clearly inspired and
influenced by Jewish
experience, they are
purely concert pieces,
and do not provide any
specific liturgical
significance.
The
first movement, Prayer,
is a deeply heartfelt
plea to the almighty. As
Neil W Levin writes, The
initial four-note motive
in the minor mode,
together with its
elaboration in the
ensuing phrases, sounds
as if it might have
served as the skeletal
model for Max Janowski's
(1912-1991) now
well-known setting of the
High Holyday prayer Avinu
Malkenu. This prayer has
special meaning in my own
spiritual life, as I have
been singing it since my
childhood. Both Prayer
and Janowski's Avinu
Malkenu are cantorial in
nature, to be sung with
heartfelt
pathos.
The second
movement, Supplication
(the act of begging
humbly), has more angst,
almost a sense of urgency
as a result of the
rhythmic motor in the
piano. The third
movement, Jewish Song,
evokes a quintessentially
Eastern-European
melancholy. Its falling
motives with bent
intonation might
represent the pain of the
Jewish
experience.
The
works were dedicated to
Dutch-American cellist
Hans Kindler, a highly
influential musician of
his time, and founder of
the National Symphony
Orchestra in Washington,
D.C. Mr. Kindler was the
soloist for the world
premiere of Bloch's most
celebrated work, Schelomo
in 1917.
Though
the popularity of Bloch's
oeuvre has been dominated
by works of Jewish
connection, we should not
forget that Bloch had
many other stylistic
periods, including
Franco-Belgian, modal,
serial, and even American
folk. In 1927, he was
awarded Musical America's
composition prize in a
unanimous vote, despite
being regarded as an
outsider by American
music writers at the
time. His winning work
America (1928) was
performed by every major
orchestra and conductor
in the following seasons.
May we be proud of his
contributions to American
music. The three

Hans
Winterberg, born in
Prague in 1901, lived
through almost the entire
period of the 20th
century and was
influenced as a composer
by its most important
artistic innovations.
Already a brilliant
pianist as an adolescent,
he studied with Alois
Hába and Alexander von
Zemlinsky in Prague. Both
his life and his music
reflect the
Austrian-Czech-Jewish
cultural symbiosis; he
saw himself as a bridge
builder between Western
and Eastern, i.e. Slavic,
cultures. Owing to his
Jewish ancestry, he was
deported to the Terezin
concentration camp after
the annexation of
Czechoslovakia by Nazi
Germany. He was the only
Jewish representative of
the Czech musical
avant-garde of the 1920s
and 1930s to survive the
Shoah and, in 1947,
followed his non-Jewish
wife and their daughter
to the FRG in the course
of the expulsion of the
German-speaking
population from
Czechoslovakia.
Winterberg's fascinating
oeuvre, which was kept
under lock and key in a
German music archive for
years after his death, is
now being made accessible
in first editions due to
a cooperation between the
Exilarte Center for
Banned Music at the
University of Music in
Vienna and Boosey &
Hawkes. The first printed
edition is Winterberg's
Cello Sonata, composed in
1951, in which all the
characteristics of his
unmistakable personal
style come to the fore:
dance-like energy,
polyrhythm, intimate yet
unsentimental melos,
subtle handling of
folkloristic material,
and an unerring sense of
form and balance. This
work is of medium
technical and great
interpretative
difficulty.
