Gottfried H Federlein (1883-1952) was born in New York City, the second son of Gottlieb H Federlein,
a Jewish organist (student of Rheinberger) and voice teacher, and Ella Harrison, a contralto soloist. (Fischer mistakenly
listed his father as the composer of this piece!) Gottfried began his music study at an early age, began playing Episcopal
services at age 17, and was awarded the FAGO at age 20. He was supportive of Robert Hope-Jones and the Wurlitzer
“Unit Orchestra” and continued his use of colorful solo stops throughout all of his playing and
compositions. He is best remembered for his 30 years at Temple Emanu-El in
New York.
Legend is moderately easy. (Also in this set:
2 and
