Israel
is a country with many diverse ethnic groups. Immigrants from virtually
every country of the world have made their home here alongside Jewish families
who remained in the country. We also have various minority groups (Arabs
and Bedouin, Druze, Circasians, Armenians and others), each with their
own music.
During the early years of this century, Avraham Zvi Idelsohn began to
collect and publish the music of many of the Jewish ethnic groups in Israel.
The European-trained composers that began to arrive in Israel during the
1920's took great interest in the both the music of the various Jewish
ethnic groups and the music of local Arabs and Bedouin. Israeli music today
- both serious and popular - is a dynamic combination of Western and Oriental
elements. Many musical cultures are practiced alongside each other in Israel,
with varying levels of interaction between them.
You will find the presence of ethnic music in many places in our catalog,
and at various levels of difficulty. Many of the recordings
which we sell include ethnic music. Below you will find a partial listing
of music that relates to the music of different traditions. Included are
both arrangements of folk music and compositions that are based on or inspired
by traditional music. We have chosen to organize our list by "flavor." |
