About Ruth Rubin (from The Canadian Encyclopedia and the Encyclopedia of Music in Canada)

Ruth (b Rivkah) Rubin (b Rosenblatt). Folksinger, ethnomusicologist, collector, b ‎Montreal 1 Sep 1906. Born to Jewish parents who had immigrated to Canada from ‎Russia, she sang during her youth in Montreal but only began to study seriously after ‎she moved to New York in the 1920s. Her interest in Jewish folk music led her in 1944 ‎to specialize in the field. She began to give lecture recitals in New York; their success ‎brought her engagements elsewhere in the USA and in Canada. At the same time she ‎continued her research and collected songs. Her authority in the field established, she ‎began to publish articles. Her first book, A Treasury of Jewish Folk Song (New York ‎‎1950), was received with enthusiasm and was followed by Voices of a People (New ‎York 1963) and Jewish Folk Songs (Oak 1965). Her study 'Yiddish folk songs current in ‎French Canada' appeared in the Journal of the IFMC (vol. 12, January 1960).‎ Beginning in 1945, Rubin made many 78s for Oriole. Her first LP, Jewish Children's ‎Songs and Games (1954, with banjo accompaniment by Pete Seeger), was also ‎released by Oriole. For Folkways she made the LPs Jewish Folk Songs (FW-8740) ‎and Jewish Life (FG-3801).She also recorded Yiddish Love Songs (Riverside RLP-12-‎‎647) and Ruth Rubin Sings Yiddish Folksongs (Prestige International INT-13019). ‎Rubin appeared several times in Canada, notably at the Pavilion of Judaism of EXPO ‎‎67. Following one of her concerts at Carnegie Recital Hall, Robert Shelton called her ‎‎'one of the last major authorities on Yiddish Folk Song,' and noted, 'It was a fine ‎performance by a scholar who knows how to breathe the passion of human ‎experience into song' (New York Times, 22 Apr 1968). In 1967 Rubin opened an ‎archives bearing her name in Haifa, Israel. She has also deposited research files and ‎‎2200 songs at the CANADIAN MUSEUM OF CIVILIZATION in Ottawa.‎
