Voice of the Turtle〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2008-10-11 )〕 is a musical group specializing in Sephardic music. VotT is unique in its emphasis on doing original historical research before making recordings. The band members travel the world looking for documents of Sephardic songs, and also interview community members who may remember particular musical arrangements. Their work is of both musical and historical import. An article in ''Rootsworld'' says,
The group members are: * Derek Burrows * Lisle Kulbach * Jay Rosenberg * Judith Wachs * Ian Pomerantz (Starting 2011) Wachs died in October 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2008-10-11 )〕 A memorial concert was held at the Somerville Theatre in Somerville, MA on October 19, 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2010-02-26 )〕 After a several year hiatus, Voice of the Turtle original members Lisle Kulbach and Jay Rosenberg have reformed the group with the addition of Sephardic singer and instrumentalist Ian Pomerantz. The group continues to perform their signature arrangements of traditional Sephardic songs. == History and recordings == The group was established in 1978, and has twelve full-length recordings. Nine recordings were published by Titanic Records, a leading publisher of early music.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2007-10-12 )〕 The book "Sacred Song in America" by Stephen Marini contains a detailed history of the group, including the story of how Wachs (who comes from an Ashkenazic Jewish background) first came to be interested in Sephardic music. Music by Voice of the Turtle is often described as unusual. The recording "A Different Night, a Passover Musical Anthology," contains 23 versions of the song Chad Gadya. The New York Times comments (regarding the album "From the Shores of the Golden Horn': Music of the Spanish Jews of Turkey,") that "far from being esoteric, this powerfully expressive repertory will leave no one unmoved." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Voice of the Turtle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
