Life

She taught at the Levinski Institute and later musicology at the Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv, the University of Bahrain, the Hebrew Union College in Jerusalem and at various universities in the USA and Germany. The subjects she taught included harmony , counterpoint, and musical form .

Works
Fleischer's compositions combine Arabic and Jewish elements.
Above all, she is known for concert compositions featuring multicultural musicals and literary influences from the West, having learned about Jewish groups, Muslim and Christian communities, and the rich ancient neo-Semitic civilization. When she started her professional work, she composed for theater and dance. In the meantime she became known as a pianist. At the same time she also worked in Israel in music education and was active in Hebrew folk song research.
Since 1977, Tsippi Fleischer has focused on composing art music. Her work was mainly inspired by three sources: Eastern folk music, whose scales and idomy she initially studied - later she did not integrate Western musical traditions from all over the world into her music; Jewish music based on biblical themes and other sources from Jewish history; and Israeli music that draws its inspiration from materials in Israel such as: B. Hebrew poets, the Israeli landscape, etc. All of this has been linked together on the foundations of Western, Classical, and Avant-garde music. Fleischer thus became an active mediator between East and West, which also reflects your deeply pacifist sentiments. She is considered one of the most influential composers and music teachers in her country.
