University of Pennsylvania Press Deborah and Her Sisters How One NineteenthCentury
Book SynopsisBefore Fiddler on the Roof, before The Jazz Singer, there was Deborah, a tear-jerking melodrama about a Jewish woman forsaken by her non-Jewish lover. Within a few years of its 1849 debut in Hamburg, the play was seen on stages across Germany and Austria, as well as throughout Europe, the British Empire, and North America. The German-Jewish elite complained that the playwright, Jewish writer S. H. Mosenthal, had written a drama bearing little authentic Jewish content, while literary critics protested that the play lacked the formal coherence of great tragedy. Yet despite its lackluster critical reception, Deborah became a blockbuster, giving millions of theatergoers the pleasures of sympathizing with an exotic Jewish woman. It spawned adaptations with titles from Leah, the Forsaken to Naomi, the Deserted, burlesques, poems, operas in Italian and Czech, musical selections for voice and piano, a British novel fraudulently marketed in the UniteTrade Review"Deborah and her Sisters is the result of magnificent archival research. It is also clearly a labor of love: the author takes pleasure in the story he tells of a single play's journey, making the book a delight to read . . . Hess's volume is a must-read for those who work in nineteenth-century theater, performance, or especially Jewish Studies, but it also has much to offer a general Victorianist as a case study for the importance of theater in shaping ideas, effecting change, and challenging our settled contemporary notions of aesthetic merit by confronting what many Victorians themselves valued." * Victorian Studies *"An exuberant account of the transnational performance history of a forgotten blockbuster, this book sets a new standard for Jewish cultural studies. By carefully reconstructing the contexts in which Jewish and non-Jewish theater audiences came together to cry over a melodramatic tale of Jewish suffering, Jonathan M. Hess reveals the importance of philosemitism to the nineteenth-century liberal imagination." * Maurice Samuels, Yale University *"Deborah and Her Sisters presents a new and constructively critical approach to the study of philosemitism and to the study of representations of Jews and Jewishness in general. This is cultural studies at its best-in excavating and interpreting a largely forgotten and demonstrably significant theatrical blockbuster, Jonathan M. Hess forces us to rethink key methodological questions and to reevaluate our understanding of an era." * Martha B. Helfer, Rutgers University *

Temple University Press,U.S. The Real Philadelphia Book
Book SynopsisAn anthology of compositions by popular Philadelphia jazz and blues artists accessible for every musicianTrade Review“As far back as I can remember, The Real Book has been a must-have for jazz musicians. It brings me great joy that this particular version features the music of Philadelphia musicians. Philadelphia has always had a wealth of wonderful composers, so this is another must-have version of The Real Book for gigging cats. I’m honored to have a few of my own compositions included.”—Joey DeFrancesco, Grammy-nominated organist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, multiple DownBeat poll winner“Philadelphia is steeped in jazz culture and has made significant contributions to the many sounds of jazz, dating back to its early pioneers, Joe Venuti and Eddie Lang. Many, including Jimmy Smith and Lee Morgan, helped shape the idiom known as hard bop, while others, most notably John Coltrane, forged new frontiers. All left their compositional mark on the music, and many are highlighted in this splendid edition of The Real Philadelphia Book .”—Michael Ricci, Founder of All About Jazz“Thank God for The Real Philadelphia Book and the Heath Brothers. Celebrating the gifts and talents of Philadelphians is incredible. The concert I performed with them was filled with love, laughs, tears, joy and celebration. Jimmy Heath’s music takes you on an emotional journey as both performer and listener. The gift is to look back and reflect upon the high level of musicianship demonstrated on stage and documented in this book.” —Terell Stafford, Grammy-winning trumpeter and Chair of Instrumental Studies and Jazz at Temple University“The Real Book is perhaps the most widely used publication amongst jazz musicians. It’s a great idea to present a version of your hometown. My pride is overflowing as I share with my homies to keep that Philly Love and bond strong.”—Duane Eubanks, trumpeter, composer, educator“The Real Philadelphia Book is now a staple in the jazz community. It serves as a resource while supporting the outstanding composers from the Philadelphia area. Philadelphia has always harvested a wealth of talent on so many levels—it grows stronger with each generation. Jazz Bridge is a great supporter, always shining a light on Philadelphia musicians. The Real Philadelphia Book is the real deal.” —Monnette Sudler, guitarist, composer, vocalist, recording artist, educator“In years to come, this will be seen as a gift of musical ancestry and a historical documentation of stories you could only attribute to jazz. I am overjoyed that I sit in this circle of the most honored Philadelphia jazz griots and get to share my story! Embracing this book is a reminder that we each have a story to tell. The griots would say, ‘A story, a story, bring it!’”—Rhenda Fearrington, vocalist and President of the Jazz Bridge Project“The Real Philadelphia Book is an amazing project that celebrates the way in which a jazz community can be made up of a beautiful harmony of similarities and differences. Philadelphia, like so many other great cities in our country, has produced a plethora of great jazz composers, and, with such well-edited charts, it is clear to me that this book will become an immediate treasure in the jazz education community.” —Dr. Angelo Versace, pianist and Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Arizona

St Augustine's Press The Second Spring
Book SynopsisIn The Second Spring, the widely published author Joseph Bottum pens what may be the most original cultural undertaking in decades – an attempt to heal the damaged poetry of our time with an infusion of music, and an effort to strengthen the weak music of our age with an injection of poetry. Ten years ago, in the pages of the Atlantic Monthly, Bottum published an essay called “The Soundtracking of America,” a much-attacked account of the misuse of music in contemporary culture. Now, with The Second Spring, he comes at the problem from the other side, as a lyricist rather than a critic. Selecting twenty-four haunting melodies, from a 13th-century Galician-Portuguese cantiga to a modern country/western tune, Bottum composes new verses that both stand alone as poems and reach deep into the roots of the musical genres in which they stand. Hymns, lullabies, folk tunes, pop songs, dirges, shape-note spirituals, broadsides, and Renaissance Italian dances – The Second Spring explores all these without sarcasm or mockery, allowing each genre to express itself within its natural form. The Second Spring contains the lyrics, melodies, and new piano arrangements (with guitar chords) for twenty-four songs: new words to old music. With an introduction and, as an appendix, the text of “The Soundtracking of America,” this book is a vital and significant event in the nation’s artistic culture.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1. The Windfall to the early 19th-century English melody “Here’s Adieu to All Judges and Juries” 2. Joy Will Keep Us a Christmas carol 3.
