	MyJewishLearning.com - Culture: Salamone Rossi
		Rossi was faced with two choices: Give up his goal of creating art music for the synagogue or abandon the traditional nusah [musical motifs that distinguish each synagogue service] that limited his musical options.
		Rossi exploits the emerging new style to distinguish the choral "congregation" from the preceding "precentor" and utilizes the homophonic style throughout the second section of the composition-that is, until he reaches the text le-olam va'ed, "for all eternity" (or as some translate this text, "forever and ever").
		Rossi's selection of this particular text for choral performance might be considered as inappropriate inasmuch as it seems to remove the traditional roles from both precentor and congregation; in fact, it appears to render both parties mute as the chorus takes over.

	Salamone Rossi, Jewish Musician in Late Renaissance Mantua (Oxford Monographs on Music) by Don Harran [ISBN: ...
		Salamone Rossi (c.1570-c.1627) occupies a unique place in Renaissance music culture: he was the earliest outstanding Jewish composer to work in the European art music tradition.
		Rossi composed a book of duets and trios (Madrigaletti) that paved the way for similar chamber works by Agostino Steffani and others from the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
		How Rossi solved, or appears to have solved, the problem of conflicting interests is a subject worthy of inquiry, not only because we want to know more about Rossi, but also because Rossi can stand as a paradigm for other Jewish figures who, contemporary with him, moved between different cultures.

		The text for the first piece in Rossi's 1589 collection is dedicatory in person and place to Vincenzo I Gonzaga the Duke of Mantua and Monferrato, so would be highly unlikely to be used by another composer.
