MORNING

Brief history of Sephardic Music

• Fluidity of oral tradition: liturgical and secular musical expressions.
• Relevance for the present day: tapping into contemporary sensibilities but honoring our glorious heritage.
• The joy of personal prayer through musical expression.
• Cross-cultural contexts: Early origins, The Golden Age, The Expulsion and Diaspora.
• Sephardic Music is World Music: exploring diverse musical styles.

Practicum: Melodies as Gateways to the Heart

• Secular songs in the liturgy: making prayer accessible.
• We will learn many songs in many languages in their secular and liturgical forms.
• Adapting music you know and love to prayer; a very Sephardic tradition.
• We will explore why certain texts have generated such an abundance of interpretations, (i.e. L’cha Dodi, Yigdal, Adon Olam, Hashkivenu, etc.) and learn several.
• Stories, songs and prophets: Jews love to sing and tell stories. We will look at some songs and stories generated by the likes of Avraham, Moshe, Elijah and Noah as well as a few humorous tales that convey a deep spiritual and moral message.

AFTERNOON

• Maqams, Modes, Scales and Beyond
• If you’re not a trained Hazzan, there is a way to balance tradition (maqams/modes) with a more liberal approach to davenning.
• We will learn a few modes and practice with your favorite prayers.
• We will also learn traditional examples of Nusach from various Sephardic communities.
