Description:
Salomon Sulzer (1804-1890) was an Austrian hazzan (cantor) and composer. In 1748 his family, which prior to 1813 bore the name of Levi, removed to Hohenems from Sulz. In 1820 Sulzer was appointed cantor at Hohenems, where he modernized the ritual, and introduced a choir. At the instance of Rabbi Isaac Noah Mannheimer of Vienna he was called to the Austrian capital as chief cantor (1826). There he reorganized the song service of the synagogue, retaining the traditional chants and melodies, but harmonizing them in accordance with modern views.
