Jewishb> liturgical music - Columbia Encyclopedia® article about Jewishb> liturgical music

In the reform movement of the 19th cent., the cantor was eliminated, the organ was employed, and Jewishb> hymns were written in the vernacular and often set to tunes of Protestant hymns.
The office of cantor, at first an honorary one, originated in the Jewishb> synagogues, in which from early times it was the custom to appoint a lay member to represent the congregation in prayer.
The Bible and the Talmud record that spontaneous music making was common among the ancient Jews on all important occasions, religious and secular.

Secular Jewishb> culture - Psychology Central

One explanation of the affinity of Jewishb> composers and playwrights to the musical is that "traditional Jewishb> religious music was most often led by a single singer, a cantor while Christians emphasize 'choral' singing." Jacob Baron, Jewishb> Composers, Machar, The Washington Congregation for Secular Humanistic Judaism, June 2, 2005.
For example, religiously observant Orthodox Jews who write literature and music or produce films with non-religious themes are participating in secular Jewishb> culture, even if they are not secular themselves.
Music remained an element in Jewishb> services, and the cantor was almost as pivotal a figure in local Jewishb> society as the rabbi.

Religious Music

Jewishb> religious music in Canada is divided between traditional chants, some of great antiquity, sung by the cantor, and more modern music (often late 19th-century in style) sung by choir or congregation, or both.
Other Christian denominations that have strong musical traditions, of congregational singing based on European practices, are the various MENNONITE churches, the Christian Reformed Church and the Greek Orthodox Church.
Music is seen as a vital part of synagogue worship, in both Orthodox and Reform traditions, though only Reform synagogues admit the use of the organ.

Jewishb> music - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The underlying principle may be the specific allotment in Jewishb> worship of a particular mode to each sacred occasion, because of some esthetic appropriateness felt to underlie the association.
The importance which music attained in the later exilic period is shown by the fact that in the original writings of Ezra and Nehemiah a distinction is still drawn between the singers and the Levites (comp.
The earlier formal melodies still more often are paralleled in the festal intonations of the monastic precentors of the eleventh to the fifteenth century, even as the later synagogal hymns everywhere approximate greatly to the secular music of their day.

Ritual and Religious Music in Iran

Of course we possess considerable examples of Hebrew religious melodies which are performed in Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian synagogues, but whether such melodies are sung in Iranian synagogues is unknown at least to me. Part of Jewishb> religious music has been recorded but not in a broader scale that exists in Christian music.
Some prayer musics are comparable to the religious music used by other religions in Iran such as Zoroastrians and Christians.
Contrary to Ashurayi music and passion play which are exclusively related to the Shia faith, prayer music is diversified and is practiced by a considerable number of Islamic tribes of Shia and Sunni (Hanafi, Shafeie, Maleki and Hanbali) sects.

LRB Eric Hobsbawm : Benefits of Diaspora

Jewishb> composers produced German and French music, while the takeover of concert halls and orchestra pits by Jewishb> musicians and virtuoso performers was the first sign of emancipation in the benighted East.
By ‘secularisation’ I don’t mean that the Jewishb> faith had to be abandoned, though among the emancipated there was a rush to conversion, sincere or pragmatic, but that religion was no longer the unremitting, omnipresent and all-embracing framework of life.
After 1811 it would have been technically difficult for a Jewishb> boy in Germany to avoid the public education system, and it was no longer virtually compulsory to learn the Hebrew letters in a religious establishment as it still was in the East.

Although all Jewishb> sources and interpretations of Kol Nidrei agree that the formula covers only vows between the individual and God, many anti-Semites have taken Kol Nidrei as evidence that a Jew's oath is worthless.
In Jewishb> tradition, the nullification of vows can only be performed a religious court, which always consists of at least three judges and is convened only on weekdays.

Judaism 101: Yiddish

Music is an integral part of Jewishb> worship: most of the prayers are sung or chanted.
Yiddish music traditionally was played on string instruments (fiddle, viola, etc.), the tsimbl (a Jewishb> instrument similar to a dulcimer) and flute, perhaps because these instruments were relatively quiet and would not attract the attention of hostile gentiles.
The Jewishb> love of music is seen in the earliest stories in the Bible: in Exodus 15, both Moses and Miriam lead the Children of Israel in song after G-d drowns the pursuing Egyptians in the sea; King David is often portrayed playing musical instruments.

Although the peculiarities of the Jewishb> mode of speaking and singing come out the most glaringly in the commoner class of Jew, who has remained faithful to his fathers' stock, and though the cultured son of Jewry takes untold pains to strip them off, nevertheless they shew an impertinent obstinacy in cleaving to him.

Bereavement

To this end, Jewishb> funerals avoid ostentation; family and visitors reflect in dress and deportment the solemnity of the occasion; flowers and music are inappropriate, embalming and viewing are avoided; and interment takes place as soon as possible after death.
In Jewishb> tradition, therefore, the greatest consideration and respect is accorded the dead.
Funerary customs are traditionally supervised in Jewishb> communities by a chevra kaddisha, a holy society, comprised of volunteers to aid the bereaved and to ensure that appropriate practices are followed.
