Chazzanut Online is grateful to be able to publish 30
outstanding articles on chazzanut that were written by
Rabbi Geoffrey Shisler.

http://www.joods.nl/~chazzanut/articles/


These articles describe the accomplishments of many
important chazzanim and composers, from Samuel Alman to
Samuel Vigoda, and clearly show Rabbi Shisler's love
for cantorial music. The articles were originally
written for a magazine of the United Synagogue of
England.

Chazzanut Online also acknowledges Jonathan Greenstein
for allowing us to publish here his interesting study
in two parts on Abraham Saqui.
