Jeremiah Lockwood proposes a view of their work as a nonconforming social practice that calls upon the sounds and structures of Jewish sacred musical heritage to disrupt the aesthetics and power hierarchies of their conservative community, defying institutional authority and pushing at normative boundaries of sacred and secular. Beyond its role as a desirable art form, golden age cantorial music offers aspiring Hasidic singers a form of Jewish cultural productivity in which artistic excellence, maverick outsider status, and sacred authority are aligned.\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Jeremiah Lockwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48184078926075,"sku":"9780520396425","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_e99d8351-4ff8-4309-9b57-91d9c1428e5c.jpg?v=1770657376","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/golden-ages-9780520396425","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
