The Klezmer Institute Inc. will receive $297,120 under a two-year Project Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to produce the Kelisegof-Makonovetsky Critical Editions. This project aligns with the Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) by making available early 20th century European Jewish music manuscripts to broaden accessible resources and contextualize the work of renowned ethnomusicological researchers. Specifically, the Institute will edit and publish music manuscripts that recenter the repertoires of key klezmer musicians and develop a new proposed standard for transliterating Yiddish dialects to accompany publications preserving Ashkenazic idioms. The series is intended to address the longstanding need for systematic and searchable texts that maintain regional Yiddish expressions. Completion is set for September 30, 2024.
