This is the first musicological study entirely devoted to a
comprehensive analysis of musical Holocaust representations in the
Western art music tradition. Through a series of chronological case
studies grounded in primary source analysis, Amy Lynn Wlodarski
analyses the compositional processes and conceptual frameworks that
provide key pieces with their unique representational structures
and critical receptions. The study examines works composed in a
variety of musical languages - from Arnold Schoenberg's
dodecaphonic A Survivor from Warsaw to Steve Reich's minimalist
Different Trains - and situates them within interdisciplinary
discussions about the aesthetics and ethics of artistic witness. At
the heart of this book are important questions about how music
interacts with language and history; memory and trauma; and
politics and mourning. Wlodarski's detailed musical and cultural
analyses provide new models for the assessment of the genre,
illustrating the benefits and consequences of musical Holocaust
representation in the second half of the twentieth century.
