Herbert Fromm (1905– 1995)
Herbert Fromm (1905– 1995) was one of the most prominent, most prolific, and most widely published composers of synagogue and other serious Jewish music among those German- and Austrian-Jewish musicians who found refuge from the Third Reich in the United States during the 1930s and who became associated principally with the American Reform movement. He was a pupil of Paul Hindemith at the State Academy of Music in Munich, with whom he later managed to reconnect after settling the USA – at first as Choir Master in Buffalo and later Music Director and Organist at the larger and more prestigious Temple Israel in Boston.
Among his large opera of liturgical and liturgically related works are several full services and numerous individual prayer settings—many of which became part of the standard repertoire in Reform synagogues—as well as Judaically based pieces geared for concert performance. For a full list of his compositions, please see the informative website of Claude Torres.
