Два цикла Мечислава Вайнберга с одинаковыми названиями «Еврейские песни» (op. 13 и op. 17) были написаны в 1943 и 1944 годах. В обоих сочинениях Вайнберг обратился к поэзии на идише, выбрав стихи Ицхока Лейбуша Переца и Самуила Галкина. Первый цикл дважды был опубликован при жизни композитора, однако в программах концертов и на дисках он звучал в основном на русском языке. О его содержании тоже судили по переводам. Второй цикл до недавнего времени оставался в рукописи. Циклы объединяет также обращение композитора к модусу Adonoy Molokh, в котором звучат молитвы некоторых праздничных дней - Субботы и Новолетия. Вайнберг не цитировал синагогальные песнопения, но создавал новые мелодии по тем же законам, по которым возникали их многочисленные варианты в ашкеназ-ской культуре. Музыка «толкует» текст, в некоторых случаях заставляя его переосмысливать. Одновременно композитор использует арсенал средств из европейского академического словаря и отсылает к музыке классиков. Two cycles of Mieczystaw Weinberg with the same title “Jewish Songs” (op. 13 and op. 17) were written in 1943 and 1944. In both works, Weinberg turned to Yiddish poetry, choosing poems by Itschok Leibush Perets and Samuel Halkin. The first cycle was published twice during the composer's lifetime, but in concert programs and on CD's it sounded, mainly in Russian and was called “Children's Songs.” The second cycle remained in the manuscript until recently. These cycles are also united by the composer's use of the Adonoy Molokh modus, in which the prayers of Saturday and High Holidays are sung. Weinberg did not quote synagogal chants, but created new melodies under the same laws that gave rise to their numerous variants in Ashkenazic culture. His music “interprets” the lyrics, in some cases causing it to rethink. At the same time, the composer used techniques from European academic music and gave references to the music of the classics.

This chapter starts by revisiting a now-familiar text: James H. Johnson’s book Listening in Paris (1995). On the basis of concert and opera reviews, images, and the paratexts of concert programs, Ellis reframes Johnson’s question “When did audiences fall silent?” as “Where and why did audiences fail to fall silent?” Multilayered answers show how (1) many of the noisier phenomena of the eighteenth century resurfaced in new guises from the 1850s onward; (2) the democratization of art music took place in contexts that could not always impose “religious” listening; and (3) there was a resurgent demand, possibly concomitant, for music as pure entertainment in venues where silence was neither required nor expected. The chapter argues that although attentive listening was a gold standard during the latter two-thirds of the nineteenth century in Paris, practice rarely lived up to such expectations, and it was in effect a niche activity.

Perkembangan lagu anak di Indonesia mengalami dinamika yang berbeda dari tahun ke tahun. Era 90-an merupakan puncak dimana lagu anak mendapat perhatian yang lebih dari masyarakat Indonesia. Namun kondisi tersebut berbeda dengan keadaan lagu anak sekarang. Sudah tidak banyak lagi penyanyi-penyanyi cilik yang tampil di televisi dan berkurangnya lagu-lagu yang sesuai untuk anak yang kaya akan pesan pendidikan dan nasionalis.
