Blumenfeld concert April
29
Harold Blumenfeld, professor emeritus of
music in Arts & Sciences, recently was
commissioned by the St Louis Circle of Jewish
Music to compose a setting of Lord Byron's
The Harp the Monarch Minstrel Swept for
men's chorus with cello and piano.
The work will premiere at 7 p.m. April 29
at the B'nai Amoona Temple, 324 S. Mason
Road. The concert, in memorial to former
Cantor Edward R. Fogel, is free and open
to the public.
"Lord Byron was a proto-Zionist in
addition to being a fighter for Greek independence
from the Ottoman Turks," Blumenfeld
said. "On a request from a young London
Jewish composer, Isaac Nathan, for a couple
lines to set, Byron penned some 20 'Hebrew
Melodies' -- poems dealing with Hebrew history,
wars and the Diaspora. My piece is based
on one of the longer poems and deals, of
course, with David."
