 Twenty
Israeli Composers : Voices of a Culture by
Robert Fleisher, Shulamit Ran
Israel's
contemporary art music reflects a modern society that is an intricate
fabric of national and ethnic origins, languages and dialects,
customs and traditions - a heterogeneous culture of cultures.
It is a rich and distinctive environment - at once ancient and
modern, Western and non-Western, spiritual and secular, traditional
and progressive. Twenty Israeli Composers, the first published
collection of interviews with Israeli composers, explores this
developing and distinctive music culture. The featured composers
have earned distinction in Israel and abroad, and reflect the
pluralism of Israeli art music, culture, and society. In first-person
narrative, they discuss the interaction of inspiration, method,
and cultural context in their work, revealing both international
and national influence and scope. Three generations of contemporary
composers - immigrants from Central and Eastern Europe, North
and South America, and native sabras - share their ideas about
music, the creative process, and their experiences as artists
living and working in Israel. Robert Fleisher furnishes a biographical
sketch of each composer, followed by a summary of recent accomplishments.
The book also includes a bibliography, discography, and information
for further study. (Amazon.com)
