https://youtu.be/e47zi4LvIKs# Adon Olam - A. Lindo-Henry | LondonThis rousing, although decidedly Anglican, tune for Adon Olam is frequently sung on Shabbat mornings in the London Spanish and Portuguese community.Its composer, Algernon Lindo-Henry (1862-1926), was of Spanish and Portuguese ancestry and a student of Emanuel Aguillar. Aguillar, of course, is best known to us for notating and arranging the pieces sung to him by Hazzan DA de Sola for the anthology 'The Ancient Melody and Liturgy of the Spanish and Portuguese Jews'.Young Algernon received his early education at Northwick College, a Jewish boarding school in the environs of London. By coincidence, the principal of that long since demised academy happened to be one Abraham Pereira Mendes whose son Henry, a near contemporary of Algernon, became the minister of Congregation Shearith Israel in New York.The present recording is based on an arrangement by Jacob Hadida, choirmaster of the Spanish and Portuguese community of London from 1933 to 1937 and again from 1945 to 1954.Please like and share, and if you haven’t already, please subscribe to my YouTube channel.For an mp3 of this recording please visit my website, where there are over 190 selections available for free downloading.
