The Jewish Composers - Salamone Rossi Feb 19, 2016

The 16th century Jewish composer Salamone de Rossi is one of the more elusive figures in the world of Jewish liturgical music. All we know about him is the music which he left to us. In this first Podcast in what I hope will be series on the Jewish composers, Stephen Newman tries to find out a little more about Salamone de Rossi the man, how his music was influenced by the world in which he lived and why we know so little about him. The Podcast includes examples of de Rossi's work performed by the Zamir Chorale of Boston.

I Beg to Differ Sep 08, 2015

There are more ways than one to record a choir! Danny Harouche is a DJ and KJ (Karaoke Jockey). He runs karaoke sessions for private parties, clubs and pubs. He also, like me, runs his own mobile recording studio. His background in first DJing then KJing has led him to approach his recordings in a very different way to the way I approach mine. I went to visit him at his home in Birmingham, England to find out how he runs his recording sessions and contrast his methods to my own. I wanted to see if there was something new I could learn from Danny's way of recording. As I hoped, he was brimming with fascinating stories and great recording advice.

We look at how you can use chords to influence emotion in your audience and how you can use them to define harmony. We then get down into the guts of musical theory and take look at a really useful roadmap for western style harmony: The Circle of 5ths.

I Just bought a Music School Apr 13, 2015

Yigal Grayeff, an old mate of mine from my university days, called me one day to announce that he had resigned from his nice secure financial journalist’s job and bought a Music School. Unsure whether he had simply gone mad or just made the most amazing career move of his life, I just had to go and find out what on earth he had got himself into. I discovered the most amazing musical environment where it’s the people you play with who make you a better musician.

Is this Jewish Music? Apr 06, 2015

Once I knew what Jewish music was. I knew how it sounded, where it came from and what made it stand out from any other type of music. Then my Dad went on a quest to try and define it. That’s when the trouble began. Everything I thought I knew about it went out the window. So what is it that makes music Jewish?
