Notes on music

This is an fragmentary score of a double choir composition, probably the same work that Giulio Morosoni (alias Samuele Nachmias), Jewish convert to Catholicism and former student of Leone Modena in the Ghetto of Venice, refers to in his "Via della Fede" (Rome 1683). According to Morosini, a double choir and instrumental work done on the model of Church music, was performed inside the Sephardic synagogue to celebrate Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah in 1628.
The music score was transcribed by E, Birnbaum. For more information about this ms., see Israel Adler, Hebrew Notated Manuscript Sources up to circa 1840, with the assistance of Lela Shalem, Munich, G.Henle Verlag, 1989, vol. I, pp. 394-401.
