It will De of interest to our Congregation to know something about the
two prominent organists who will
play an important part in our Service
Friday Evening.
Gotfried Federlein, who is the organist at Temple Emanuel. is also
an outstanding composer of religiOUS
music. We are proud to include his
compositions in our Sabbath Evening Liturgy.
Joseph Yasser, our own organist,
is recognized in the musical world
as a musicologist. Before coming to
America, he was head of the Organ
Department in the Moscow Conservatory. Mr. Yasser made an extensive
tour to China to make a study of
Tonality, on which subject he has
written a book used by all earnest
students of music, and found in all
music libraries.
With the introduction of Schubert's
Cantata, it is hoped that more and
more of the well-known Cantatas
and Oratorios by world-renowned
composers will be sung in our
Temples.
