fifty years ago (he was then
music director of a Wilma syna-
gogue) and present it on the con-
cert stage before a mixed audi
ence. For this deed of daring he
was threatened with the loss of
his position as well as a barrage
of over-ripe fruit!
Today in 1852 when we attend
Jewish concerts in New York's
swanky Town Hall and it's bloat-
ed counterpart, Carnegie Hall,
and in other cities across the ma
ton, let us recall the courage
of a young Jewish musician who
dared to defy the restrictive con-
ventions of a half century ago.
AS a final step in the emanci-
patton of Jewish music, / am re-
minded that in 1850 my husband
and I were invited to perform our
"Cavalcade of Jewish Music" in
of all places-a Catholic uni
versity, the University of Port

For those Of us who labor
under the misrepresentation that
Jewish music is many thousands
of years old, the foregoing will
appear as a mis-stsSement. If by
Jewish music is meant the "trop"
or Biblical cantillations, then yes
our music is very ancient, for
its roots are buried deep in the
time-hallowed pages of our
TITLES" or prayers. But Jewish
secular music is something else
and Leo Low was the first to take
our music out of the synagogues

march on!
It is difficult in evaluating the
talents of Leo Low, whether to
place him first as a composer or
conductor, for these two gifts
have been practically co-existent.
Since Leo Low has been asso-
ciated with synagogal work from
the time he was a boy cantor at
thirteen, his compositions for the
liturgy which include Friday and
Sabbath morning, High Holy
Days and Festival services all
bespeak a kinship with Jewish
traditional worship at its finest.
And when old-timers reminisce
about the great cantors of yes
ter-year, Cantors Sirota, Hersh-
man, Kwartin and others we must
thank Leo Low for bringing these
men to this country for in each
case he was their music director,
both in Europe and America.
In 1921 Low became director of
the National Jewish Workers
Alliance Chorus in New York and
except for five years in Palestine
from 1880 to 1885, he has been
their permanent conductor. This
huge chorus is made up Of work.
ing people, housewives and un-
tutored amateurs who are unable
to read single note of music!
When we hear this chorus per-
form difficult, complicated num-
bers so beautifully, the only ex-
PLANTATION possible is tn at they
must have a conductor who hyp-
notices them!
How wish I could take all my
readers to dinner at the Lows in
their cozy West End Avenue
apartment where they. would be
RECALLED by the sparkling wit of
Leo Low and the delicious,
mountaineering cooking of Mrs.
Low. Here one hears enough
witty stories and anecdotes to fill
several volumes Of Jewish humor,
told with pungency and brevity.
Which also reminds me that if
one hopes to remain a part of the
conversation at the Lows one
must have the ability to make
quick shifts from Yiddish to He
brew to Russian to English.
Since this year is the Tooth an
niversary of the birth of I. L. Pc
