Abraham Saqui was the first Choirmaster of the Princes Road Synagogue in Liverpool.  He was born in London around 1824, and died in 1893, of what his obituary in the Liverpool Mercury called “paralysis of the brain.” Although much of his music is not terribly well known today, he was considered a major synagogue musician in his lifetime, and in fact turned down an offer of a position at the West London Synagogue just because he liked Liverpool so much.

I think he would be somewhat puzzled by the reason that his music has fallen by the wayside a bit.  When he was composing, the idea of mixed-voice (SATB, with women singing the soprano and alto lines) choirs was still brand-new in the UK -- the West London Synagogue had a mixed choir, because Charles Garland Verrinder thought that adult women were easier to work with than prepubescent boys and convinced the synagogue to let him mix the choir.  But WLS was Reform, and certainly no Orthodox choirs were mixed . . . until right around the time that Saqui died.

In the early twentieth century, it turns out, quite a few Orthodox synagogues in the UK had mixed choirs, and one of those synagogues was the Princes Road synagogue.  In fact, they liked their mixed choir so much that, when Chief Rabbis Brodie, Jakobovits, and Sacks in turn made it clear that you could either be a member of the (Orthodox) United Synagogue OR have a mixed choir, but not both, Princes Road was the only Orthodox synagogue to choose the choir over United Synagogue membership.  To this day, they have a mixed choir, and they are very happy with it, and they sing the music of their beloved former choirmaster, Abraham Saqui.  Unfortunately, because they aren’t United Synagogue members, and because they let women sing in the choir, a lot of other synagogues won’t have much to do with them, or sing much of Saqui’s music, which is ironic, because Saqui composed for male-voice choir.

But there are some people who love Saqui’s music, and there are some pieces that he wrote that have escaped out into the wild.  Cantor Netanel Hershtik of the Hampton Synagogue is a great fan of Saqui’s setting of Yigdal, and so is the Shabbaton Choir.  With good reason, too -- as you can hear, it’s a wonderful piece of music.  A bit more complex than LEONI, but worth the listen.

i've just thought of a fanfic idea for the obra dinn, but i need a little help in figuring out what the plot should be

so basically, a member of the Obra Dinn (dead or alive) either willingly or unwillingly have to go back in time and save the ship

i've seen a couple where the inspector goes back, but not one with the members i think

here are the members i would find most interesting going back in time (spoilers under the cut)

in no particular order:

-Charles Hershtik, Thomas Lanke and/or Peter Milroy: first off, the midshipmen deserved better. secondly, they deserve the chance to save the ship to be together again. it would probably be angstier if only one of them goes back (probably lanke) and the other two wouldn't know what's going on

-Martin Perrott: mostly because of the fact it's martin, like the man had the best intentions out of everyone, wishing for the mermaid to bring the obra dinn back to england.

-Robert Whitterel: the man deserves a second chance. by The End, he's a flawed and broken man, devastated by the death of his wife and his crew. i feel like to would be cathartic to his character to have another shot at saving everybody

-William Hoscut: again, for probably the same reasons as the Captain. he's lived through hell and back, loses his sister, then he gets shot by his brother-in-law. ouch.

-Henry Brennan: i dont really have a reason for him, just wanna see funky beanie man do funky things. (headcanon that he's friends with hoscut, since they stick together for a bunch of the scenes)

-Henry Evans: being one of the two owners of the Memento Mortem (that we know of), he'd probably feel the same as a lot of players feel, watching his friends die over and over, and can't do anything to stop it.

and finally,

-Edward Nichols: hear me out. it'd be funny lmao. jokes aside, it'd be so satisfying for him to be the one who saves the Obra Dinn, as he was the one who doomed it in the first place. he would probably be forced to save her at first, to keep his life, but maybe (just maybe) he would change, given another chance

that's my pick, do you all have any characters that would be interesting to play around in this scenario? let me know!

[swan-swanno]

Charles Hershtik ❤️❤️💔

what’s you r opinion on William hoscut

Hoscut... my good friend Hoscut...

I think he's a really attentive and caring guy!! Shame really he turned to attempting mutiny in the very end too but really can you blame him,

His scene with Thomas makes me 😭

[kenora-pizza]
