!!!Sulzer, Salomon

Sulzer, Salomon, b. Hohenems (Vorarlberg), March 30, 1804, 
d. Vienna, Jan. 17, 1890, Jewish cantor and composer. From 1820 
cantor at Hohenems, from 1825 in Vienna. His collection "Schir Zion" 
(2 volumes, 1840/65), the oldest detailed musical description of the 
liturgical year, has been of decisive importance to synagogical 
singing to this day. Was also widely known for his beautiful low tenor 
voice. His spirited style of singing was an example to subsequent 
generations of cantors. The "Vienna Rites", a modified form of the 
Jewish religious service, was developed by S. and I. N.  
Mannheimer.
