Bavarian born Samuel Naumbourg (1817-80) officiated as Cantor for a great many years in Paris’s famous synagogue on rue Notre-Dame-de-Nazareth. This collection of Synagogue melodies combines pieces from the South German tradition with music from the Western Sephardi rite. Naumbourg also included a lengthy introduction, providing a thorough overview of the history of religious Jewish music.
