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.
