Many of you are already familiar with the unique sound
and style of Di Naye Kapelye’s Jewish repertoire. In
addition to that, this workshop will also be an
introduction to the Palatka (Transylvanian) music, about
which Bob Cohen writes: “The traditional band of the
village of Palatca (Palatka in Hungarian) is well known
in the Hungarian 'Dance House' folk music revival as a
source for much of the music performed by Hungarian folk
bands, including the well known Muzsikas.... Where other
local village bands have modernized their music (influenced
by radio or by electronic instruments) Palatka remains
one of the last working Gypsy bands in Transylvania who
perform strictly on strings. In addition , Palatka still
harmonizes their music in the oldest form known among
central European Gypsy bands – by harmonizing modal and
minor melodies using only major chords, which creates a
dissonant tension characteristic of the style.”
For experienced Yiddish and/or Transylvanian dance
musicians, especially string players, but other
instruments are welcome, too.

You ever
like to know how to dance a Hora? Or a Sher? Did you
know that you can wonderfully dance to “The Lion sleeps
tonight” – not only in hassidic communities? No? Then
the Dance DVD which was produced during the Yiddish
Summer Weimar 2007 offers the best insight into
traditional Yiddish dance repertoire and traditional and
modern hassidic dances. These were taught by the capable
dance masters Jill Gellerman (New York, USA), Helene
Domergue-Zilberberg (Nimes, France), Erik Bendix
(Cincinnatti, USA) and Andreas Schmitges (Köln, Germany)
within the Dance workshop. On this DVD all dances of the
workshop are introduced by detailed teaching sessions.
The dances are accompanied by the participants of the
dance music workshop under the direction of Christian
Dawid (Berlin, Germany), Binyomin Ginzberg (New Jersey,
USA) and Alan Bern (Berlin, Germany). The DVD
wonderfully prepares a participation in the dance
workshop of the Yiddish Summer Weimar and makes you
hungry for more – because to learn live is the best!
The DVD
costs 20 Euro for workshop participants and members of
other music and 50 Euro for prospective buyer from
outside. |
