SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn with Dan Moskowitz - Jewish Lyricists: What’s Jew
 ish About Their Songs?
DESCRIPTION:Register\n\nJews are substantially overrepresented on the list 
 of the songwriters of the standards that define the popular culture of the
  United States. The musicology behind that truth -- the connections betwee
 n Jewish liturgical chanting and folk songs and the jazz-influenced pop tu
 nes American Jewish composers turned out -- has been commented on a good b
 it. But what about the words? The roster of top lyricists in the American 
 Songbook is also overwhelmingly Jewish\, but what did that mean to their o
 utput? There are a few theories\, all interesting and none completely conv
 incing. We’ll spotlight those theories\, hear examples by\, among others
 \, Ira Gershwin\, Yip Harburg\, Oscar Hammerstein\, Dorothy Fields\, Steph
 en Sondheim. And\, I hope\, stimulate some discussion among ourselves of j
 ust how “Jewish” these songs are.\n\nAfter a long career as a magazine
  writer\, Dan Moskowitz (a member of Micah for more than 50 years) now spe
 nds a lot of time developing the courses and talks on American popular son
 g he gives at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes at American Universit
 y and George Mason University.\n\nRegister before 5 p.m. the Sunday before
  for in-person lunch ($10) or by the next evening for the Zoom link.\n\nFo
 r more information\, please email Lunch and Learn.
