Description:

Ink on paper; 1 folio ; 1 score ; 34.5 x 24 cm; manuscript 

Subject:

Shabbat, Hazzan & Meshorerim

This manuscript contains one setting of Lekhah Dodi, the prayer welcoming the Sabbath Queen on Friday night, composed by R. Meir Koblenz (Meir Levi Koblenz?) for one-two voices with ḥazan/meshorerim designation. It was originally numbered 76 and is likely part of the same manuscript at Mus. 7a. Manuscript has been dated as post-1821 due to a similarity of the initial motive to Agathe's cavatina in Act III of Der Freischütz by C.M. Weber, noted in superscription ["Oper Freyschitz"] on the manuscript itself.
