Jacques Offenbach (born Jacob Eberst)

Jacques Offenbach was a German-born French composer, cellist and impresario of the Romantic period. He is remembered for his nearly 100 operettas of the 1850s to the 1870s, and his uncompleted opera The Tales of Hoffmann. He was a powerful influence on later composers of the operetta genre, particularly Johann Strauss Jr. and Arthur Sullivan. His best-known works were continually revived during the 20th century, and many of his operettas continue to be staged in the 21st. The Tales of Hoffmann remains part of the standard opera repertory.

Ernest Bloch

Swiss-born American composer. Bloch was a preeminent artist in his day, and left a lasting legacy. He is recognized as one of the greatest Swiss composers in history. As well as producing musical scores,

Gustav Mahler

Gustav Mahler an Austro-Bohemian Romantic composer, and one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer he acted as a bridge between the 19th-century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. During his lifetime, his status as a conductor was established beyond question. His own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect, which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 his compositions were rediscovered by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century. In 2016, a BBC Music Magazine survey of 151 conductors ranked three of his symphonies in the top ten symphonies of all time.

Darius Milhaud,

Darius Milhaud was a French composer, conductor, and teacher. He was a member of Les Six—also known as The Group of Six—and one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century. His compositions are influenced by jazz and Brazilian music and make extensive use of polytonality. Milhaud is considered one of the key modernist composers.

Emil Waldteufel

Charles Émile Waldteufel was a French pianist, conductor and composer known for his numerous popular salon pieces.

OPERA

Jacques F Halevy

Jacques-François-Fromental-Élie Halévy, usually known as Fromental Halévy, was a French composer. He is known today largely for his opera La Juive.

Halévy wrote some forty operas in all, including:

·         L'Artisan (1827)

·         Le Roi et le batelier (1827)

·         Clari (1828), in Italian; a modest success, even with Maria Malibran in the starring role

·         Attendre et courir (1830)

·         La Langue musicale (1830)

·         L'éclair (1835), also a great success, in the same season

·         Guido et Ginevra (1838)

·         Les Treize (1839)

·         Le shérif (1839), which Hector Berlioz referred to as a "delightful comic opera"

·         La reine de Chypre (1841), praised by Richard Wagner

·         Charles VI (1843), revived at Compiègne in 2005

·         Les Premiers pas (1847)

·         Le val d'Andorre (1848)

·         La Fée aux roses (1849)

·         La Tempesta (1850), in Italian, after Shakespeare's The Tempest

·         La Dame de pique (1850), not after Prosper Mérimée's adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novella

·         Le Juif errant (1852), after the novel by Eugène Sue

·         Le nabab (1853)

·         Jaguarita l'Indienne (1855)

·         L'Inconsolable (1855)

·         Valentine d'Aubigny (1856)

·         La magicienne (1858)

·         Noé (1858–1862), uncompleted at Halévy's death, completed by Georges Bizet

Halévy also wrote for the ballet, provided incidental music for a French version of Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound, and wrote cantatas.

Giacomo Meyerbeer (born Jacob Liebmann Beer); was a German opera composer of Jewish birth who has been described as perhaps the most successful stage composer of the nineteenth century. With his 1831 opera Robert le diable and its successors, he gave the genre of grand opera'decisive character'. Meyerbeer's grand opera style was achieved by his merging of German orchestra style with Italian vocal tradition. These were employed in the context of sensational and melodramatic libretti created by Eugène Scribe and were enhanced by the up-to-date theatre technology of the Paris Opéra. They set a standard which helped to maintain Paris as the opera capital of the nineteenth century.

 

Leo Ornstein modernist composer and pianist, Russian-born

Steve Reich , composer

Arnold Schoenberg or Schönberg   was an Austrian and American composer, music theorist, teacher, writer, and painter. He is widely considered one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. He was associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the Second Viennese School.

Nicolas Slonimsky naturalized American, Russian-born composer, conductor and author Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930), composer and lyricist

Morton Subotnick , composer of electronic and other music, husband to Joan LaBarbara

NOTES 
1. See Broadway Babies Say Goodnight: Musicals Then and Now, by Mark Steyn (Routledge, NY, 1999, p. 87).
  According to Steyn, "Cameron Mackintosh isn't Jewish, but his writers on Les Miz and Miss Saigon, Boublil and Schönberg, are. 'Claude-Michel Schönberg,' he says, 'is Hungarian-Jewish.'"
2. Jewish mother, non-Jewish father.  In an interview with Francine Cohen published in the Arts and Leisure Guide of the November 4, 1994 issue of The Jewish Chronicle (London), Newley stated concerning his 'Jewish genes': "My mum's side is Jewish and so is Joan Collins's dad's side, so I suppose you could say we had a full set between us.  We both always used to say that whatever talent we had came from our Jewish backgrounds."

Jacques Offenbach (born Jacob Eberst)

Jacques Offenbach was a German-born French composer, cellist and impresario of the Romantic period. He is remembered for his nearly 100 operettas of the 1850s to the 1870s, and his uncompleted opera The Tales of Hoffmann. He was a powerful influence on later composers of the operetta genre, particularly Johann Strauss Jr. and Arthur Sullivan. His best-known works were continually revived during the 20th century, and many of his operettas continue to be staged in the 21st. The Tales of Hoffmann remains part of the standard opera repertory.

Ernest Bloch

Swiss-born American composer. Bloch was a preeminent artist in his day, and left a lasting legacy. He is recognized as one of the greatest Swiss composers in history. As well as producing musical scores,

Gustav Mahler

Gustav Mahler an Austro-Bohemian Romantic composer, and one of the leading conductors of his generation. As a composer he acted as a bridge between the 19th-century Austro-German tradition and the modernism of the early 20th century. During his lifetime, his status as a conductor was established beyond question. His own music gained wide popularity only after periods of relative neglect, which included a ban on its performance in much of Europe during the Nazi era. After 1945 his compositions were rediscovered by a new generation of listeners; Mahler then became one of the most frequently performed and recorded of all composers, a position he has sustained into the 21st century. In 2016, a BBC Music Magazine survey of 151 conductors ranked three of his symphonies in the top ten symphonies of all time.

Darius Milhaud,

Darius Milhaud was a French composer, conductor, and teacher. He was a member of Les Six—also known as The Group of Six—and one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century. His compositions are influenced by jazz and Brazilian music and make extensive use of polytonality. Milhaud is considered one of the key modernist composers.

Emil Waldteufel

Charles Émile Waldteufel was a French pianist, conductor and composer known for his numerous popular salon pieces.

OPERA

Jacques F Halevy

Jacques-François-Fromental-Élie Halévy, usually known as Fromental Halévy, was a French composer. He is known today largely for his opera La Juive.

Halévy wrote some forty operas in all, including:

·         L'Artisan (1827)

·         Le Roi et le batelier (1827)

·         Clari (1828), in Italian; a modest success, even with Maria Malibran in the starring role

·         Le dilettante d'Avignon (1829)

·         Attendre et courir (1830)

·         La Langue musicale (1830)

·         La tentation (1832)

·         Les Souvenirs de Lafleur (1833)

·         Ludovic (1833), completion of an opera left unfinished by Hérold

·         La Juive (1835), his first success

·         L'éclair (1835), also a great success, in the same season

·         Guido et Ginevra (1838)

·         Les Treize (1839)

·         Le shérif (1839), which Hector Berlioz referred to as a "delightful comic opera"

·         Le Drapier (1839)

·         Le Guitarréro (1841)

·         La reine de Chypre (1841), praised by Richard Wagner

·         Charles VI (1843), revived at Compiègne in 2005

·         Le lazzarone, ou Le bien vient en dormant (1844)

·         Les Mousquetaires de la reine (1846)

·         Les Premiers pas (1847)

·         Le val d'Andorre (1848)

·         La Fée aux roses (1849)

·         La Tempesta (1850), in Italian, after Shakespeare's The Tempest

·         La Dame de pique (1850), not after Prosper Mérimée's adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novella

·         Le Juif errant (1852), after the novel by Eugène Sue

·         Le nabab (1853)

·         Jaguarita l'Indienne (1855)

·         L'Inconsolable (1855)

·         Valentine d'Aubigny (1856)

·         La magicienne (1858)

·         Noé (1858–1862), uncompleted at Halévy's death, completed by Georges Bizet

Halévy also wrote for the ballet, provided incidental music for a French version of Aeschylus's Prometheus Bound, and wrote cantatas.

Giacomo Meyerbeer (born Jacob Liebmann Beer); was a German opera composer of Jewish birth who has been described as perhaps the most successful stage composer of the nineteenth century. With his 1831 opera Robert le diable and its successors, he gave the genre of grand opera'decisive character'. Meyerbeer's grand opera style was achieved by his merging of German orchestra style with Italian vocal tradition. These were employed in the context of sensational and melodramatic libretti created by Eugène Scribe and were enhanced by the up-to-date theatre technology of the Paris Opéra. They set a standard which helped to maintain Paris as the opera capital of the nineteenth century.

 

Leo Ornstein modernist composer and pianist, Russian-born

Steve Reich , composer

Arnold Schoenberg or Schönberg   was an Austrian and American composer, music theorist, teacher, writer, and painter. He is widely considered one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. He was associated with the expressionist movement in German poetry and art, and leader of the Second Viennese School.

Nicolas Slonimsky naturalized American, Russian-born composer, conductor and author Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930), composer and lyricist

Morton Subotnick , composer of electronic and other music, husband to Joan LaBarbara

NOTES 
1. See Broadway Babies Say Goodnight: Musicals Then and Now, by Mark Steyn (Routledge, NY, 1999, p. 87).
  According to Steyn, "Cameron Mackintosh isn't Jewish, but his writers on Les Miz and Miss Saigon, Boublil and Schönberg, are. 'Claude-Michel Schönberg,' he says, 'is Hungarian-Jewish.'"
2. Jewish mother, non-Jewish father.  In an interview with Francine Cohen published in the Arts and Leisure Guide of the November 4, 1994 issue of The Jewish Chronicle (London), Newley stated concerning his 'Jewish genes': "My mum's side is Jewish and so is Joan Collins's dad's side, so I suppose you could say we had a full set between us.  We both always used to say that whatever talent we had came from our Jewish backgrounds."
