Samuel Alman

[hebass <hebass...>]

        I am currently researching the life and work of Samuel Alman.  I 
know enough on his life to fill a five page paper, and I want to gather 
more data on his music and his relations to the Zionist movement and the 
political scene in London.
        Alman was born in Russian and came to London when he was in his 
late twenties.  He had formal musical education from both the Kishinev 
conservatory and the Royal Conservatory in London.  He wrote operas and 
two books of Synagogue music, which he used in the years he directed the 
choir of the Hampstead Synagogue.  Besides his synagogue music, he wrote 
Yiddish Lieder and several articles on music and other chazanim and 
Jewish musicians.
        I know he was active in the political life of the Zionist 
movement, but I would like to know to what extent.  I also would like to 
compile a bibliography of articles and books written by him.  IF ANYBODY 
OUT THERE COULD HELP ME I WOULD BE ETERNALLY GRATEFUL.
        
p.s.-  and if you like, I would share the rest of the research with you.

Thank you all,  Chag Sameach.
