Re: Help finding music of Castelnuovo-Tedesco?

[Dan Kazez <KAZEZ...>]

Dear Steve,

The music of Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco is lovely indeed.  
I have performed his "Chant hebraique" on many occasions,
including my 1995 European concert tour. 

A program note from my own concerts:

     A member of an old Florentine family, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco (1895-
     1968) studied music at the Cherubini Royal Institute of Music.  His 
     discovery (in 1925) of a notebook of Jewish melodies in his grandfather's 
     house led him to begin composing Jewish compositions: "The discovery of 
     this little notebook was one of the deepest emotions of my life and 
     became for me a precious heritage."  Soon thereafter he became familiar 
     with the sounds of synagogue cantillation and Hebrew melodies.  Racial 
     laws forced Castelnuovo-Tedesco to leave his native Italy.  When anti-
     Semitism became rampant in Italy, during that country's alliance with 
     Nazi Germany, Castelnuovo-Tedesco fled to the U.S. (1939).  He settled in 
     Hollywood where, like many other composers of his time, he composed film 
     music, in addition to his other works.

The information you are looking for is below.

Give my greetings to Andrea.  I know her from many years ago.
