The Repertoire The repertoire of the Leipziger Synagogalchor (Leipzig Synagogical Choir) is deeply influenced by composers of the 19th and 20th Century mostly Jewish cantors (precentors) from the Eastem Europe area. That is the reason why synagogical music by Louis Lewandowski, Salomon Sulzer, Samuel Aiman, Abraham Dunajewski, David Nowakowski, Mordechaj Zeira and Samuel Naumbourg are greatly performed. The Hebraic texts of the songs song at the time of synagogical Services are psalms und prayers based on the praying book or deeply religious texts be the Talmud. In accordance with Jewish tradition and synagogical pracitce the most of compositions are made as an antiphony between the choir and the cantor including accompany of organ or piano music. Even acappella themes are possible. The lively folkmusic song in Jewish or Hebraic language is full of feeling and spirit mostly descending from the Jewish centers of Eastem Europe. The music demonstrates a proper life, has a sense of humour and melancholy at once. In almost every song you will even find dancing elements. The main part of the traditional songs performed by the Leipziger Synagogalchor is arranged by Werner Sander and Friedberzt Groß. Both of them enriched the songs for concert by a masterly part on the piano or chamber-musical accompany of the orchestra. The soloists are taking the role of a story-teller. It is important to say that this kind of folkmusic can even be representend in a cappella. A manifold repertoire and the various kinds of musical accompany allow a flexible formation of the program suitable to the performing places for example large and small concert halls, synagogs or churches.
