In memor of Helen Rosenber, who loved both classical music and Jewish learning, this ession will feature Sreve Reich, a wonderful contemportary composer who has written more explicitly Jewish music than practically any composer beofer him. Reich is a former drummer. He is facinated by rhythm ,, and influence by African and Indonesian music as well as composers like Stravinsky and Philip Glass. After hearing examples of how he writes music in general, we’ll listen to excerpts from “different Trains,” his powerful string quartet about the Holocaust; from his setting of a number of psalms in “Tehillim”; and from his video opera, “The Cave,” about the Abraham stories. Throughout, we will consider the way in which music constitutes a kind of midrash for Reich, coloring how we take in familiar storeis, and making them new for us today
