Abstract
Argentinian composer Osvaldo Golijov is one of the most important and well-recognized composers of the 21st century. His works are unique because of the diverse mixing of styles due to the interculturalism present in his music. In the program notes of his Hebreische Milonga, Golijov mentions that this piece can connect his Argentinian and Jewish roots as well as the influence of Astor Piazzolla’s music. In addition, there is a connection between the tango and the Jewish people residing in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that is not addressed frequently when discussing the history of the tango. This research begins by discussing the history of the tango, the Jewish immigration to Buenos Aires, and the connection between the tango and the Jewish immigrants residing in Buenos Aires. Then, this research explores the different aspects that constitute the style of Osvaldo Golijov’s music. Lastly, this research provides a deep analysis of Osvaldo Golijov’s Hebreische Milonga
