Poco le das, la mi consuegra
Una matica de ruda
B'ni b'gincha
Kol nidrë
Ven hermoza
Dame la mano
Fel sharah canet betet masha
La buliza çapateta
Dulores tiene la reina
Mi querido bevió vino - El mi querido bevió vino
Una pastora yo amí
Ah, el novio no quere dinero
El rey que muncha madruga
Esturulú
Arnold Schoenberg's religious works serve as chapters in his own spiritual biography. the late twelve tone musicla style is apparent in his piece "Jacob's ladder". In his piece "kol Nidre" his return to traditional tonality and his choice of the topic reveal his deep personal interest in the Jew who left his religion and aspires to return to it.
1931-2 This is one of Idelsohn's most intriguing articles; it is a study in which his abilities as historian, liturgist, cantor and musician show at their best. The article begins with a concise discussion of the kol nidre text; its legal aspect and its history from Geonic times in Babylonia to the ninteenth-century Reform in Germany.
