This dissertation presents an overview of the "klezmer" (Jewish professional folk instrumental) musical tradition as practiced in Philadelphia's 20th century Jewish community. Through interviews, manuscripts, and recordings, I construct an ethnographic portrait of Philadelphia's Jewish wedding musicians, the environment they worked in, and the repertoire they performed at local Jewish life cycle and communal celebrations, from the music's heyday in the immigrant era through its midcentury decline, up to the more recent period of its revitalization.

520 $a This dissertation presents an overview of the "klezmer" (Jewish professional folk instrumental) musical tradition as practiced in Philadelphia's 20th century Jewish community. Through interviews, manuscripts, and recordings, I construct an ethnographic portrait of Philadelphia's Jewish wedding musicians, the environment they worked in, and the repertoire they performed at local Jewish life cycle and communal celebrations, from the music's heyday in the immigrant era through its midcentury decline, up to the more recent period of its revitalization.
520 $a An offspring of the expansive eastern-European Jewish wedding music tradition (especially that of the southern Ukraine, the source for a large percentage of Philadelphia's Jews), Philadelphia's klezmer tradition featured music held over from immigrant days, as well as newer dances and rituals that were unique to this adopted community. Thus, Philadelphia's klezmorim (Jewish wedding musicians) honored old-country customs while functioning within an urban American musical culture.
520 $a The issues I will address here include the place of musicians and celebratory music in Jewish society, the nature of "klezmer" culture, the ongoing tension between the sacred and secular in music, the complexity of hybrid ethnic musical expression, the insider-outsider dynamic in klezmer, the evolution of klezmer repertoire (and one musical medley in particular) over the course of a century, the ethnography of a nearly extinct regional musical community, including the relationship of that community to younger "klezmer revivalists", and the American transformation of a European ethnic musical tradition.
520 $a In recent years, klezmer has become best known as the music of an adventurous concert presentation-focused revival. By exploring how this music and the musicians who played it functioned at celebratory occasions within a "provincial" community, I hope to shed light on the historical context of this once again vibrant tradition.
