Shpil: The Art of Playing Klezmer is both a history of this popular
form of traditional Jewish music and an instructional book for
professional and amateur musicians. Since the revival of klezmer
music in the United States in the mid-1970s, Yiddish songs and
klezmer dance melodies have served as the soundtrack for a
resurgence of interest in Ashkenazic Jewish culture across the
globe. Klezmer has taken root not only in America s major urban
centers New York City, Chicago, San Francisco but also in emerging
Jewish music hotspots like St. Petersburg, Buenos Aires, Krakow,
and Tokyo. Its high energy, emotionally driven sound, and evocative
Yiddish lyrics have found audiences everywhere. Shpil offers an
expansive history of klezmer, from its medieval origins to the
present era, and its contributors encompass a cast of
world-renowned musicians who have recorded, performed, and studied
klezmer for years. Individual chapters concentrate on the most
common instruments found in a klezmer ensemble violin, clarinet,
accordion, bass, percussion, and voice and conclude with a
selection of three songs that illustrate and exemplify the history
and techniques of that instrument. Shpil includes a glossary and a
discography of both classic and new klezmer and Yiddish recordings,
all designed to guide readers in an appreciation of this remarkable
musical genre and the art of playing and singing klezmer tunes.
Shpil: The Art of Playing Klezmer is ideal for amateur enthusiasts,
musical scholars, beginning artists, and professional musicians,
both solo and ensemble indeed, anyone who wants to experience the
joy of listening to and playing this thousand-year-old folk music.
