Jewish Prayer

“Jewish Prayer” comprises works of the Jewish late Romantic tradition, including one of the repertoire classics for strings, “Kol Nidrei” by Max Bruch. This edition also contains other popular performance pieces such as “The Hebrew Melody” op. 23 by Albert Kellermann, “Elohenu” by Friedrich Gernsheim, “Sarabande” op. 8 by Joseph Sulzer, and “Prière” by Fernand Halphen. These works can be played by professionals as well as experienced amateurs. For possible performances of the complete works, the volume has been compiled as if it were a concert cycle and completed with a work for solo organ, the “Five Festival Preludes” by Louis Lewandowski. Separate parts for viola and violoncello are included with the score. The concert pianist Bella Kalinowska was born in Ukraine and received her musical training in Vinnytsia, Odessa, and Kyiv.
