Arnold Schoenberg was preoccupied with Judaism and biblical themes throughout his life, despite his conversion to Protestantism in 1898. Religious motives inspired an abortive symphonic project as early as 1912, long before the profoundly disturbing "A Survivor from Warsaw" for speaker, male chorus, and orchestra, composed in 1947. The essays collected in this volume represent a comprehensive attempt to shed light on the work and personality of the composer in this pertinent yet unaccountably neglected context. This book should be of interest to musicologists and students of 20th-century music and Jewish studies.

"Arnold Schoenberg was preoccupied with Judaism and biblical themes all his life, and they are reflected in the spiritual and political motivations of such key works as the oratorio Die Jakobsleiter, the opera Moses und Aron, and the profoundly disturbing A Survivor from Warsaw. This book, based on essays written over some fifteen years, explores the far-reaching ramifications of Schoenberg's Jewish background and experience throughout a creative lifetime that witnessed both the portentous rise of a Jewish cultural elite in Central Europe and the destruction of one-third of the Jewish people at the hands of the Nazis. The author also analyzes details of Schoenberg's music and deals with specific aspects of his compositional approach in terms of a Jewish monophonic tradition which favored melodic-rhythmic forces over functional harmonic ones. Indeed, Alexander Ringer brings a wide array of musical, historical, philosophical, and theological factors to bear upon his sensitively drawn, novel portrait of Arnold Schoenberg as the quintessentially Jewish composer of the twentieth century. To this paperback edition, the author has added a brief chronicle of pertinent events.". N° de réf. du vendeur MusicSchoenberg01
