| dc.description.abstract | The Shoah for Solo Violin and Sacred Temple by Spanish composer, Jorge Grundman Isla, is a six-movement work that commemorates the atrocities of the Holocaust. Composed in 2017, this piece is massive in scope and takes 90 minutes to perform. It is informed by historical events and is inspired by the Jewish people's celebration of the Arts and humanity, in the midst of their genocide. In this document, I will analyze Grundman’s work and discuss its commemorative elements. I will approach the Shoah in three areas: historical breakdown, thematic analysis through the inspiration from J.S. Bach’s “Chaconne” from his Partita no. 2 in D minor and Philip Glass Violin Concerto no. 1, and Grundman’s inspiration from Holocaust Museums. A deep dive into the background of this large-scale work enhances a better understanding of the work by performer and listener alike. Elements such as the Shoah songbook, wartime sound effects, and harmonic chaos cultivate the listening experience. | en_US |
