The Musical Tradition of the Jewish Reform Congregation in Berlin/ Die Musiktradition der Jüdischen Reformgemeinde zu Berlin/ Ha-Masoret ha-musikalit shel ka-Kehilah ha-Reformit shel Berlin.

Included in the booklet are the German texts and English translations of those texts. I doubt that there is any place where more that a stray one of these melodies is still in use. $40.00
Pilchik, Ely E., libretto by. The Water-Drawing Festival: Simchat Beyt Hashoeyvah. An Oratorio For Cantor-Solo Voices-Choir and Piano. Chicago, Illinois, A Friends of Jewish Music Publication, 1970. Royal octavo, foxed stapled paper covers, 88 pp. Softbound. Very Good-. Music by Max Janowski. Inscribed by the librettist on the front cover. (48694) Simchat Beyt Ha-sho'evah was a festival occurring at the end of Sukkot in late Second Temple times. There has been some gestures towards revival lately. The Oratorio and Cantata were very popular forms particularly in the Reform Movement in the during the first two thirds of the last century. Both are pretty dead at the moment but it is hard to develop a full picture of what Reform judaism was like in America without any familiarity with these forms. Pilchik was a well known Reform rabbi and author of Torah commentary and creative writing. Janowski was a prolific composer of liturgical music for the Reform movement as well as a prominent Jewish Chicagoan. $35.00
Re'uven Yuklson: zibetsikster geboyrntog. Yuvilei-Zshurnal, Yuni, 1955./ Rubin Youkelson on his 70th Birthday, June 25, 1955. New York, Jewish Music Alliance, 1955. Octavo, stapled paper covers, 32 pp., b/w photos. Softbound. Very Good. In Yiddish and English. Joseph Rumshinsky and Isaac Leib Peretz were both involved in the founding of secular Yiddish Folk Choirs in 1899. The tradition of liturgical choirs extends back to the period of the the First Temple but secular Jewish choirs were a new innovation. By the 1930s there were nearly two hundred Yiddish folk choirs in the US alone. The Jewish Musical Alliance was an co-ordinating agency that distributed musical arrangements for choirs. Jacob Shaefer is one of the best known figures of that organization. Youkelson was more involved in the organizational aspect of the Alliance. (66588) $30.00
