MUSICAL JOURNEYS with the
LIBRARY of JTS
An online discussion with Cantor Matthew Austerklein
What are the spiritual possibilities of music? Five-hundred years ago, rabbis, cantors and Jewish musicians began to explore this question in dramatic new ways. Extended niggunim, orchestras to welcome the Sabbath bride, meshorerim (musical assistants to the cantor), new Hebrew treatises on music, and the borrowing of European musical technique and style contributed to this experimental climate in the synagogues of early modern Europe. But these changes also incited concern and anger from traditionalists, who worried that musical complexity would compromise the halachic and spiritual integrity of authentic prayer.
Cantor Austerklein will discuss these early Jewish worship wars. He will examine the fiery critics of cantorial practice, emerging music theologians, and experimental cantors alike, as well as uncover illustrations, manuscripts, and musical notation from this momentous era of cantorial innovation. Many of these sources are held in the Rare Book Room of The JTS Library.
