This is a unique collection of songs for voice and piano with historicalinformation about the St. Petersburg Society for Jewish Folk Music. Thi s group of Russian Jewish musicians, in the short time that the society functioned (1908-1918), laid the foundation for the 20th century renaissance of Jewish music in America as well as Israel. In every sense, this book is a tribute to those significant pioneers in modern Jewish music. Irene Heskes, noted musicologist, presents a detailed and exhaustive essay on the composers of this group. Includes representative selections by: Achron, Engel, Milner, Rosowsky, Saminsky, Gnessin, Krein, Schklar, Warshawsky and Zhitomirsky.
