תיאור הספר

RARE collection of twenty Jewish Hassidic prayers and melodies arranged by an eminent Romanian-Jewish composer and musicologist Max Eisikovits (1908-1983), professor (from 1946) and director (1950-53) at the Cluj Academy of Music, and head of the Magyar Opera in Cluj (1948-50). Following in the steps of Bartok and Kodaly who collected the Hungarian folksongs, Eisikovits himself collected the Romanian Jewish Hassidic niggunim in long and daring field trips, and while arranging them in a modern way, kept the original tune intact. 305x230mm. 61 pages. Illustrated Softcover. Cover slightly age-stained and dirty. Cover corner/edges and spine edges slightly worn/wrinkled. [SUMMARY]: This extremely rare valuable and authentic treasure of Jewish music, collected and arranged by an eminent 20th-century Romanian-Jewish composer, is in good condition.
