File of Musical Notes of the Viennese Cantor Yisrael Segal Rosenbach, Vienna and Israel. 1930's-1950's
A file with dozens of music notes: Yiddish, Chassidic, Zionist and traditional songs for Shabbat and the High Holy Days. Printed notes from Europe and many handwritten notes, all of the leaves are with the personal stamp (some of them are signed) of Y. Segal Rosenbach. Europe and Israel, 1930's-1950's.
Dozens of leaves, some with handwritten notes.
The cantor and composer Y. Segal Rosenbach, known for his lyrical tenor voice. His biographical details are unknown, apart from a poster from 1932 which announces that "The cantor Y. Segal Rosenbach has acquired a reputation in the music world, the German media greatly praises him". After his immigration to Israel he appeared many times (in the 1950's) at important cultural events, and served as cantor on the High Holy Days. He put out many disks of rare Yiddish songs. His songs and melodies were preserved in the website zamreshet, and in the Sound Archives of the National Library. Seeing that the cantor dealt with preserving unknown songs, it is possible that some of the songs in this file are exclusive.
 
Moderate – fine condition.
