Biographical History
Composed music for "Bei mir bist du schön" and other songs.
Born in 1894 in the Ukraine, Sholom Secunda was a composer, arranger, director and critic who came to New York in 1907 and entered the Institute of Musical Art (later renamed the Juilliard School), where he trained with composer Ernest Bloch. Secunda's first love was classical music, but he first supported himself while a young student working as an extra in the Yiddish theater. He found considerable early success as a composer and director in theaters such as Brooklyns Lyric Theater and Maurice Schwartzs Yiddish Art Theater. In the 1940s he expanded into radio and worked as the music critic for the Jewish Daily Forward. In 1951, he wrote music for the Broadway review, Bagels and Lox. From 1945 to 1973 he was the music director of the Concord Hotel, where stars of the Yiddish theater (and many of the great stars of Broadway, Vaudeville, television, and movies) regularly appeared. At the Concord he also composed large amounts of Jewish liturgical music and regularly conducted performances of classical music with well-known classical musicians and opera singers. His compositions have been successful both inside and outside the Yiddish theater with hit songs sung by such artists as the Andrews Sisters and Joan Baez. His last musical score was for the 1973 production of Sholom Aleichem's Shver tsu Zayn a Yid, considered the last great production of the Yiddish stage. Frequent collaborators were lyricists/singers Jacob Jacobs and Molly Picon.
