Thank you so much have shared this beautiful program about Rossi. Some of his compositions are sung at Shearith Israel, The Spanish and Portuguese Synagogue in New York, our family congregation and have always moved me so much. I attended a beautiful concert in New York of his music this past year. Your program here is so educational about his life and music. Greatly appreciated.

There also were Jewish congregations that hired Christian composers to write music in the Baroque style for synagogue music.

[@zionistredhead]

Benedetto Marcello was just such a composer for "Maoz Tzur", published in 1724.
