Ernest Bloch left his native Switzerland to settle in the United
States in 1916. One of the great twentieth-century composers, he
was influenced by a range of genres and styles - Jewish, American
and Swiss - and his works reflect his lifelong struggle with his
identity. Drawing on firsthand recollections of relatives and
others who knew and worked with the composer, this collection is
the most comprehensive study to date of Bloch's life, musical
achievement and reception. Contributors present the latest research
on Bloch's works and compositional practice, including studies of
his Avodath Hakodesh (Sacred Service), violin pieces such as Nigun,
the symphonic Schelomo, and the opera Macbeth. Setting the quality
and significance of Bloch's output in its historical and cultural
contexts, this book provides scholarly analyses as well as a full
chronology, list of online resources, catalogue of published and
unpublished works, and selected further reading.
