Words by Carel Steven Adema van Scheltema for female choir plus male choir published by Alsbach, Amsterdam Up until World War II, Israel J. Olman had been a celebrated choral conductor and composer. He wrote synagogal music and also music for socialist choirs, to be performed at major singing competitions. His fame, in addition to the fact that he was married to a Catholic woman, offered him some protection during the war. In the post-war years his reputation as a composer diminished rapidly, creating financial difficulties. The world had changed and his musical idiom had become outdated. by Pauline Micheels location of manuscript: http://www.nederlandsmuziekinstituut.nl archive registration number: NMI ABmf/2352 Aan 'Kunst en Broederschap' en Karel Boehne ter gelegenheid van het 50-jarig jubileum van het tramkoor Jac.
