I am very pleased to reproduce here
a Commentary on the Ashkenazi Prayer Modes
by my good friend Dr Alexander Knapp.
Very beautiful original unheard compositions.
Thank you.
I was eleven years’ old when I joined the choir at Egerton Road under Charles Heller.
I had only one rehearsal with Chazan Shisler- the Choir began Naumbourg’s Seu Shearim and then Chazan Shisler’s voice soared above with the sweetest purest tone. It was the most beautiful and inspiring music. (Naumbourg was Chazan at the Rue de Notre Dame synagogue in Paris.) Chazan Shisler left to go to Kenton.
Your kind remarks are much appreciated. This would have been about 1973.
