- Summary:
- "The Folk Songs of Ashkenaz dramatically transforms our understanding of music in the daily lives of the Jews of Central and Eastern Europe by documenting a five-century interaction between Jewish communities in which German, Yiddish, and their dialects were spoken as vernacular languages. Editors Philip Bohlman of the University of Chicago and Otto Holzapfel of the German Folk-Song Archive have searched through collections throughout Europe, North America, and Israel to gather a rich treasure of songs and their variants, which together reveal that contact between Jewish communities in the Ashkenazic diaspora was extensive and complex. Equally important is the documentation of exchange between Jewish communities and their non-Jewish neighbors, an exchange that clearly shows that the Jewish presence in European society before the Holocaust was greater than many have previously assumed." -- Provided by publisher.
