Sylvan (Sholom) Kalib (born July 24, 1929, Dallas, Texas) is an American music theorist, musicologist, cantor, conductor, pedagogue and composer.[1] His primary work falls broadly into two categories: 1) Schenkerian music theory and 2) the musical tradition of the Eastern European synagogue.
- ^ “Sholom” is Kalib’s first name in Hebrew, not his middle name. Both names, “Sylvan” and “Sholom,” were given to Kalib as dual first-names at birth. Kalib typically uses “Sholom” in connection with Jewish-related activities and “Sylvan” (which appears on his birth certificate) in all other contexts.
