Solo Vocal Works on Jewish Themes: A Bibliography of Jewish
Composers is a comprehensive and annotated compendium of stage,
concert, and liturgical compositions written by Jewish composers
from every known time period and country. Kenneth Jaffe has amassed
nearly 3,000 large-scale musical works for solo voice(s) on Jewish
themes, written by Jewish composers. The works include over 400
cantatas, 150 oratorios, almost 300 operas, more than 100 sacred
services, 20 symphonies, and more than 350 stage works, including
Yiddish theatre, Purim and sacred plays, multi-media pieces, and
musical theatre. In addition, original song cycles and liturgical
services arranged for a modest to large complement of instruments
are also included. The works are organized by composer and
subdivided by genre, and each entry is fully annotated, detailing
the title, opus, voicing and instrumentation, text source,
commission, year completed, year and location of the premiere, the
year of publication and the publisher (if any), the location of
scores, and the duration of the work. The works are then broken
down by theme, such as Biblical themes, works for children, works
of the Holocaust or Jewish suffering and persecution, interfaith
works, and wedding music. They are then cross-referenced by voice
type, arrangement, and by title. A list of libraries and publishing
houses of Jewish music rounds out this invaluable reference.
