The
present book aims to
describe 19th-century
Jewish musical production
in light of major social
and historical events: a
revolutionary process for
the Jewish world
resulting from its
inclusion in European
political and cultural
secularization. The
ferment that such
assimilation brought
resulted in the
fragmentation of the
Jewish religious identity
into distinct liturgical
currents. How much the
19th-century
modernization of the
Jewish world affect the
Jewish identity of
composers and their
music, encompassing the
following components:
conversion, liturgy,
synagogal chant and
cantillation, musical
form, opera, textuality,
entrepreneurship and
individuality? How many
of these structural
components were direct or
corollary to both musical
composition, and the
concept of
Jewishness?
