		Schelomo is the Jewish name for Solomon, and it is of Solomon in his glory, his wisdom and his disillusionments that Bloch sings.

	Walter Simmons: Voices in the Wilderness
		It may seem surprising to begin a study of American Neo-Romantic composers with a European-born figure who did not come to the United States until he was thirty-six years old and whose musical identity is associated chiefly with his effort to express his Jewish heritage.
		Additional justifications for the inclusion of Bloch -- though admittedly less central -- are that the overwhelming majority of his music was composed in the United States and that, as a seminal figure in the formation of two important conservatories, he contributed significantly to music education in this country as well.
		Perceptions of Ernest Bloch's identity within music history have shifted as views of the overall terrain of twentieth-century music have undergone conceptual transformation.

	Classical Net - Basic Repertoire List - Bloch
		In the second, so-called "Jewish," period, Bloch takes up specific Jewish subject matter (although not musical matter) and writes the one work by which he is still remembered: Schelomo, a rhapsody for cello and orchestra based on the figure of Solomon and the book of Ecclesiastes.
		During World War II, Bloch became too depressed to compose, but the end of the war released a flood of new work, tending to the abstract, and emphasizing chamber music and chamber combinations.
		Bloch is out of critical favor right now, along with an entire generation of twentieth-century composers like Artur Honegger, Darius Milhaud, and Ralph Vaughan Williams.
