#DARIUS MILHAUD COMPOSER ARCHIVE#

The text is taken from the Book of Common Prayer. The score calls for chorus, orchestra, a baritone as cantor (sung here by the Israeli-born, European-trained Yaron Windmueller with just the right blend of drama and devoutness), and a speaker as rabbi who reads in both Hebrew and English. In 1947, he was commissioned by the musically forward-looking cantor of Temple Emanu-El in San Francisco to write a Hebrew Service SacrГѓВ© for the Sabbath morning service, supplemented with several sections used in the Friday evening service. In 1940, he emigrated to America with his wife and son and taught for many years in California and Aspen, Colorado. He was one of the group of French composers called Les Six and produced an enormous amount of music in every genre, including several works on Judaic themes. Born into a musically active Jewish family rooted in Provence since the 15th century, he grew up in Aix-en-Provence, where his grandfather founded the synagogue and his father the Musical Society. 'p'Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was an extraordinarily versatile composer, master of many styles, able to absorb and integrate different influences, from synagogue chant to Brazilian folk music and American jazz.
