Furthermore, on May 17, , the Maccabeats , a Jewish student a cappella ensemble from Yeshiva University who cover current songs and affix Jewish lyrics and context to them, performed at the White House for President Obama on the occasion of Jewish Heritage Month. We can read about it in a transcript posted at: Welcome to the White House….
I want to thank the Maccabeats for their outstanding performance. I really liked it. They travelled as fast as lightning through cyberspace from one Jewish community to another across the globe.
Does the contemporary music within them render these songs not Jewish? The adaptations use lyrics taken from Jewish sources, expressions of the Jewish people as identified by tradition, and expressions of the Jewish people communicated in cultural idioms that American Jews have slowly adopted during the past few decades. Finally, let us turn back four centuries to the music of Salamone Rossi from Mantua, Italy.
Rossi was educated in the sweep of humanism as the Jewish community abandoned its isolation and began to study Western music, art, painting, literature, and so on. Rossi distinguished himself as a favorite employee at the court of the Gonzaga family, and was exempted from wearing the yellow badge required of all Jews of the period. Rossi understood both the contemporary prevailing musical style of his time and location, and the Hebrew Psalms.
He was able to combine both in an artistic outpouring of his religious beliefs. We can see how Jewish performers and composers have woven Jewish texts, Jewish traditions, Jewish melodies, and Jewish expressions with contemporary forms and have faithfully created Jewish music throughout the ages and the continents in which they have lived.
