Israel, with its highly heterogeneous immigrant society, offers to the observer a fascinating instance of multifaceted performance practice. Within a relatively limited area, there are numerous musical traditions and styles which encompass sacred and secular, old and new, folk and sophisticated forms. The ten contributions included in these issues of Musical Performance represent a discussion of the most significant traditions that were established during the period before 1948: the search for the establishment of a new and typically Israeli art and folk music; the attitude of the protagonists of this tendency toward the old exiled traditional heritage of the Jewish people, and the struggle of the immigrants after the creation of the State of Israel to ensure the survival of their musical tradtions as well as to cope with the new physical and cultural environment.

The Performance of Jewish and Arab Music in Israel Today, Vol. 1
This is an amazing, amazing book that deserves so much more recognition than it is likely getting. Anyone who rates it less than "five stars" doesn't understand its significance. It really isn't even something you can rate. It's an American classic, a historic document.
Imagine a young single white woman in the late 1800's taking to the road, by herself or sometimes with some company, to visit what remains of the major Native American tribes in the United States. Imagine creating enough of a relationship with the elders of each of these tribes to record some of their most sacred chants and songs (includes the actual music scores). Imagine capturing some of their images with cameras of that time. Natalie Curtis knew Native Americans as they might have been before European colonialism, were on the verge of extinction. As is said in other reviews, this is nothing less than a seminal work all the more tragic because she was killed just a few days after presenting it at the Sorbonne.
This book is an American treasure and classic that preserves and honors not only Native American tribes but the compassion and vision of Natalie Curtis herself.
