Sabbath Evening Service (excerpts) ? Hagiographa ? Ahavat olam ? Two Pieces in Sabbath Mood Widely considered one of the foremost 20th-century American composers during his lifetime, and especially known for his concert music inspired either by Jewish or by American Indian sources, Frederick Jacobi was championed by such legendary conductors as Koussevitzky, Stokowski, and Monteux. Jacobi?s "Jewish" compositions combine the refinements of the great European romantic tradition with an evocative melodic and harmonic palette, suggesting both traditional Jewish flavors and Near Eastern atmospheres. The Milken Archive is proud to reintroduce Jacobi?s music on these new recordings.
