This volume
contains works inspired
by the Jewish musical
tradition, arranged for
viola (or alternatively
for violoncello) and
organ. The music takes
its bearings on the
inimitable and highly
emotional melodies of
synagogue chant and
Jewish folk music. The
pieces are suitable for
worship, private
devotions as well as
concert performance and
can easily be tackled by
amateur
musicians.
The
arrangements shed light
on a little-known but
valuable repertoire. The
Foreword (Ger/Eng)
provides an historical
overview of organ music
in the synagogue, where
the instrument has found
use in solo performance
and accompaniment since
the 19th century,
especially in the wake of
the Jewish Reform
movement.
