Chapter 1: Non-Biblical Tonalities: Biblocentrism in Modern Hebrew Culture and Its Operatic Undoing Chapter 2: Horizontal Realizations: The Agency of Non-Western Jewish Musical Traditions in Art Music of the 1950s and '60s Chapter 3: Broken Hebrewist Vessels Chapter 4: Compositional Solutions (In the Double Sense of the Word) Notes IndexReviewsWith commanding erudition and analytical grace, Assaf Shelleg traces the dialectical re-emergence of the stains of exile and their crystallization in new, vibrant configurations in Hebrew literature, poetry, and especially art music. * Paul Mendes-Flohr, Professor Emeritus of Jewish Thought at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Professor Emeritus of the University of Chicago * In this remarkable book, Assaf Shelleg examines the ways Israeli composers have negotiated the ever-changing ideologies of their state's identity. Drawing on a deep knowledge of historical contexts and repertories from the 1950s to the early 2000s, he addresses the irresolvable tensions - religious and secular, Ashkenazi and Mizrahi, Jewish and Arabic - that have troubled Israeli society since its founding; he demonstrates how these tensions inform compositional strategies even at a fundamental level. Theological Stains is a major contribution to studies of Israeli cultural history and a model for contextual music analysis. * Susan McClary, Fynette H.
