Rossi, Salamone
Salamone Rossi was born in Mantua, Italy in 1570. He was descended from a prominent Jewish family, which had been brought to Rome from Jerusalem by Titus, as captives. For a period of forty years, 1587 to 1628, Rossi served as a court musician to the Gonzoga Dukes of Mantua, Gugliemo, Vincenzo, and Fernando. During this time he was violinist, singer and composer at the Ducal courts. Rossi was prolific as a composer and published 13 volumes of music, consisting of Madrigals, Sinfonias and Sonatas. Rossi wrote a collection of 33 religious songs to Hebrew texts, consisting of Psalms, liturgical poems, and prayers. These were published in 1622 under the title Hashirim Asher L‚Shlomo. This is the earliest known volume of Jewish harmonized music in existence. It is remarkable that in the bigoted atmosphere of the 16th Century, a composer known as Salamone Rossi, Ebreo (The Hebrew), could have risen to his important place, while yet remaining faithful to the religion of his ancestors. (I. Freed, Out of print Classics, Volume 16)
