Can’t make it to South Florida? <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can join in the celebration of klezmer right here at the Judaica Sound Archives!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The word \u201cklezmer\u201d derives from two Hebrew words meaning instruments of music.<\/em> The roots of klezmer can be traced back to 15th<\/sup> century Eastern Europe. Klezmer music incorporates Chassidic melodies, folk tunes, and Jewish celebration dances. However, most ethno-musicologists would tell you that what we refer to as \u201cklezmer\u201d in 21st<\/sup> century America bears very little resemblance to the musical compositions of 100 or 200 years ago. Today\u2019s \u201cklezmer\u201d is like a  kaleidoscopic musical mirror that captures sound bits from the Jewish experience and reflects them back in new and sometimes wildly improbable ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steeped in traditional Jewish sounds and melodies, klezmer is no longer chained to the shtetl. Today\u2019s klezmer can be heard on the internet in Jewish homes around the world. Today\u2019s klezmer can absorb interesting new flavors as the Jewish world of music expands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s klezmer music wakes up our Jewish cultural memory and provokes us to dance, to celebrate, to be Jewish!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early klezmorim played the violin and other stringed instruments. Around 1855 the clarinet began to gain prominence. In the USA, clarinetists Dave Tarras and Naftule Brandwein spear-headed a klezmer revolution during the 1920\u2019s. Today klezmer music continues to evolve.  It now includes everything from traditional renditions to mind-blowing fusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TheJudaica Sound Archives at Florida Atlantic University Libraries invites you to enjoy klezmer music from the past and the present<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
