Description: Klezmer music is experiencing a tremendous revival, as contemporary musicians recreate and build on the repertories and styles used by musical entertainers in Jewish Eastern Europe. Fiddler on the Move, places klezmer music squarely within American music studies, cultural studies, and ethnomusicology. Neither a chronology nor a comprehensive survey, the book instead describes a variety of approaches and perspectives for coming to terms with the highly diverse array of activities found under the klezmer umbrella. The book also features a music CD with many of the examples discussed in the text, including both archival and contemporary recordings.
