Gottlieb, Jack
Jack Gottlieb was born October 12, 1930 in New Rochelle, NY, and died in New York City on February 23, 2011. Gottlieb received his BA from Queens College, NY, an MFA from Brandeis University and a DMA from the University of Illinois. Synagogue composer Max Helfman, his first mentor, was the one to inspire him to write sacred music. Dr. Gottlieb also studied with Aaron Copland and Boris Blacher at the Berkshire Music Center. From 1958 to 1966, he was Leonard Bernstein’s assistant at the New York Philharmonic. In 1967 his sacred service, Love Songs for Sabbath, was given at the College of St. Catherine in St. Paul, MN, believed to be the first time a full-length synagogue service was ever heard under Catholic auspices (excerpts recorded on Naxos 8.599433 with six other choral works). From 1973-77, he was the first full-time professor of music at the School of Sacred Music, Hebrew Union College. In 1977 he joined what is now the Leonard Bernstein Office, Inc. as publications director, and served as consultant for the Bernstein estate.
He was named by the New York Philharmonic as the Leonard Bernstein Scholar-in-Residence for the 2010-2011 season. Among artists who have performed his works are Bernstein himself, members of the New York Philharmonic, the Boston Symphony and the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra; singers Jennie Tourel, Adele Addison, Lee Venora and John Reardon; the Gregg Smith Singers and many other choral groups; and actresses Tovah Feldshuh and Felicia Montealegre. He is past president of the American Society for Jewish Music and has received numerous awards, most recently from the Zamir Choral Foundation in recognition of his "lifetime contributions to Jewish music."Among these compositions is his Songs of Godlove, a two-volume set of 51 solos and duets from Transcontinental Music.
Some of his secular works are inspired by iconic movies. Among them are Downtown Blues for Uptown Halls, songs; The Silent Flickers, for 4-hand piano; Rick’s Place, piano trio; Three Frankenstein Portraits for a cappella chorus; and an opera, The Listener’s Guide to Old-Time Movies. His books Working with Bernstein, a memoir (Amadeus Press, 2010), and Funny, It Doesn't Sound Jewish: How Yiddish Songs and Synagogue Melodies Influenced Tin Pan Alley, Broadway and Hollywood (SUNY Press, 2004) have received rave reviews nationwide.
