Tehillat no. 1 (Sebastian Diaz Pena)

Two compositions by Sebastian Díaz Peña survived in the Mikve Israel - Emanuel archives. Tehillat for Cantor, soprano and two-part choir and organ, dated September 1912 (and therefore preceding the composer's exile in the island), was dedicated to the Choir of Temple Emanuel and has a Curaçao dance-like rhythm.

Performers:
Gideon Y. Zelermyer (hazzan) and Raymond Goldstein (piano)
