Ever so often it happens that a composer\u2019s fame during his lifetime, begins to slowly fade after his death and finally falls into oblivion. This also seems to be the barely justifiable case of composer Emile Jonas<\/a>, who for many decades shared the Parisian theatre billboards with the most prominent French and foreign musicians during the second half of the 19th century.
\nAt present, even though they do not enjoy the fame of the works of Jacques Offenbach (1819-1880), the absolute and undisputed monarch of the buffo genre in his own time, the operettas of Florimond Ronger (Herv\u00e9) (1825-1892), L\u00e9o Delibes (1836-1891), and in a lesser degree those of Aristide Hignard (1822-1898) or Isidore Legouix (1834-1916), as well as some of the following generation, like Edmond Audran (1842-1901), Andr\u00e9 Messager (1853-1929), Charles Lecocq (1832-1918), Louis Varney (1844-1908), Robert Planquette (1848-1903) and Claude Terrasse (1867-1923) are still remembered and sometimes performed. Less frequent are the scenic productions of Emile Jonas\u2019 operas. There are no audio or DVD recordings. But, as we shall see, his musical output deserves at least as much.<\/p>\n

Emile Jonas was born into a Jewish family in Paris on March 5, 1827. About his childhood, his parents Simon Jonas and Jeannette Pohl, and his private life we know very little. But we do know that in 1841, at only 14 years of age, the young Emile entered the Conservatoire National Sup\u00e9rieur de Musique and was admitted to the piano and harmony classes of F\u00e9lix le Coupey (1811-1887) and to the composition classes of Michel Carafa (1787-1872).
\nIn 1847 he won the Conservatory\u2019s first harmony prize, and was named elementary solfeggio assistant professor. In 1849 he received the Institut de France\u2019s prestigious Second Grand Prix de Rome for the composition of his Antonio<\/em> cantata. He completed his studies at the CNSM in 1850, and in the following year he sent a letter to the Consistoire de Paris, offering his honorary services as an organist at the main synagogue, for which he was accepted after consultations with Fromental Hal\u00e9vy (1799-1862), the much hailed composer of La Juive. At the time the central Paris synagogue, the same for which several years earlier Isaac Offenbach (1779-1850) had auditioned as a chazan<\/em> (cantor) and where his sons Jacques and Jules had directed the choir, was located on the site of today\u2019s Sephardic temple on Rue Notre-Dame de Nazareth.<\/p>\n

\"theatre_des_bouffes_parisiens_passage_choiseul_redim.jpg\"<\/p>\n

In 1855 Offenbach transformed the Comte theatre on Passage Choiseul into a venue designed as a miniature of the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Italiens, at that time the Paris opera house, and it became the home of his legendary Bouffes Parisiens, offering music theatre plays with the participation of four singers at the most in each scene. With this privilege the Ministry of Culture \u201cwishes to reward the intelligent efforts of its young director, not only because the Bouffes are the theatre of a talented musician, but also because it has become a veritable greenhouse for promising new artists\u201d. It is in this theatre where already in October of that same year Offenbach\u2019s theatre welcomed Emile Jonas, presenting his opera prima, the one act musical sketch Le Duel de Benjamin<\/em>, much praised by J. Lovy in the Le M\u00e9n\u00e9strel magazine.<\/p>\n

\"la_chatte_blanche_recadre_redim.jpg\"<\/p>\n

Ever since the name of Emile Jonas was always linked to those of this theatre and his mentor, and they became sincere friends. In the following years Offenbach introduced him to the best librettists of his time and produced another six of his works, the one act buffo operas La Parade<\/em> (1856), Le Roi bo\u00eet<\/em> (1857), Les Petits Prodiges<\/em> (1857) for which Offenbach contributed at least two numbers, Job et son chien<\/em> (1863), Le manoir des Lar\u00e9nardi\u00e8re<\/em> (1864), Avant la noce<\/em> (1865), and D\u00e9sir\u00e9, sire de Champigny<\/em> (1869). These works became standard repertoire of his theatre and travelled with the company of the Bouffes Parisiens on its many tours in France and other European countries. Jonas\u00b4 larger works were presented in other theatres.<\/p>\n

During all that time Emile Jonas did not neglect his teaching activities. In 1857 he became the CNSM\u00b4s permanent harmony and composition professor for military students. Soon after he was called to become the Imperial Guard\u00b4s music director, where he developed a very intense activity, composing numerous marches, fanfares and other works for military purposes, with preference utilizing the variegated gamut of instruments invented by Adolphe Sax (1814-1894), among them an ameliorated version of the bass clarinet, the saxhorn, the saxo-trombe and his most famous patent, the saxophone.
\nIn 1867 he was elected into the organizing committee of military parades for the unforgettable World Fair inaugurated by Napoleon III and his wife, the empress Eugenia de Montijo. Hortense Schneider visited the fair using the title of the main character in La Grande Duchesse de G\u00e9rolstein, Offenbach\u2019s most recent triumph. Jonas was unanimously praised not only for his artistic contributions, but also for his devotion and organizational skills. He became a member of various juries, created the rules for the different competitions, and organized the fair\u2019s music festival, in which, among works by M\u00e9hul, Auber, Gluck, Mendelssohn, Wagner, Rossini and Meyerbeer, stand out two of his own feather: La Victoire and Le Diamant. That same year he became a Chevalier and Officer of the L\u00e9gion d\u00b4Honneur.
\nEmile Jonas has undoubtedly obtained recognition and his name has gained in prestige. Admitted in 1856 he became a part of no fewer than seven boards of directors of the French Authors and Composers Society until almost the end of that century, together with personalities such as Gounod, Labiche, Sardou and Alexandre Dumas fils. On a lithography depicting the caricatures of all important composers of its day, his image is seen in the front row, near to Offenbach\u2019s.<\/p>\n

Like him, Emile Jonas worked constantly. Since 1854 he was the musical and choir director of the Portuguese Rite Synagogue, the one which posing a challenge to the Consistoire\u2019s authority had been inaugurated in 1851 on 23, rue Lamartine. Its members, in their majority stemming from the Bordeaux and Bayonne communities had brought to Paris the customs and tunes which their ancestors, descendants of the anusim<\/em> (crypto Jews) from Spain and Portugal had been following since the Middle Ages at their synagogues\u2019 religious services.<\/p>\n

Identifying with them and preoccupied with conservation of their musical patrimony, Jonas published in 1854 a book under the title Recueil de Chants H\u00e9bra\u00efques \u00e0 l\u2019usage des Temples de Rite Portugais (Anthology of Hebrew Chants used at the Temples of Portuguese Rite)<\/em>, which among a total of 39 themes lists 24 liturgical works of his own, composed mainly for soloists and diverse choral ensembles, accompanied by organ and harp.<\/p>\n

\"recueil_de_chants_hebraiques_partition_jonas_redim.jpg\"
\nIn his capacity as musical director Jonas contributed decisively to the orderly and dignified realization of the community\u2019s religious services, until then affected by the vicissitudes which the generations of their ancestors had had to endure, and the deterioration of their melodies after centuries of interpretative flaws. Similar are the efforts already made by highly respected composers and chazanim such as Hal\u00e9vy, Naumbourg, Lovy, Sulzer and Lewandowski, in order to recover, collect and use the liturgical music of the synagogues of German origin, but this is a subject that shall be dealt with on another occasion.<\/p>\n

In 1886 Jonas published an augmented version of the previous anthology, under the title Recueil de Chants H\u00e9bra\u00efques anciens et modernes execut\u00e9s au temple de rite Portugais, r\u00e9unis et compos\u00e9s par Emile Jonas<\/em>, with the addition of singing exercises, main interpretation recommendations as well as chromatic and intonation exercises. Simultaneously he documented in various publications the melodies used at the other Consistoire temples in Paris, which are in their majority of ashkenaz rite. On September 9th, 1874, during the inauguration of the Temple Consistorial Isra\u00e9lite de Paris (the synagogue on Rue de la Victoire) a musical piece for baritone and choir was performed on King David\u00b4s Psalm 130, which Jonas had specially composed for the occasion.
\nThat same year he hurried to publish a volume with 21 compositions by various authors, used at that synagogue\u00b4s wedding ceremonies, and in 1879 he published another 111-page volume with the religious services music on Shabbat and all holidays, together with vocalization exercises, general recommendations for a good execution and the principal measures to be taken in order to maintain order in the temple.<\/p>\n

During the Second Empire Paris had become an industrial, cultural and tourist centre in constant turmoil. To this city flew Europe\u00b4s and the world\u00b4s most famous artists and heads of state, together with their respective courts. There was an abundance of businessmen, nouveaux riches and adventurers. They all wanted to be entertained. The industry of show business was at its peak. Demand was huge. Artists did their very best, and so did Emile Jonas.
\n\"le_canard_a_3_becs_redim.jpg\"Parallel to his other activities we must not neglect his theatre work. In 1865 he premiered the buffo opera Les deux arlequins<\/em> at the Fantaisies Parisiens, which was seen in London two years later. In December 1867, amidst all of his other commitments and in the climate of general folly preceding the 1870 catastrophe, he found the time to write and have Marlbrough s\u2019en va-t-en guerre<\/em>, an op\u00e9ra bouffe in four acts and five scenes written in complicity with Georges Bizet, Isidore Legouix and L\u00e9o Delibes, produced at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de l\u2019Ath\u00e9n\u00e9e. In 1869 he presented the work that shall remain in the repertoire as his best known and perhaps most accomplished, the buffo opera in three acts with a libretto by Jules Moinaux, Le Canard \u00e0 trois becs<\/em>.
\nIn 1871, after the fatal war with Prussia, came the siege of Paris, hunger, and the Commune disorders. Theatres remained temporarily closed. When they reopened the audience arrived somewhat hesitantly. The former gaiety had calmed down. That year Emile Jonas presented in London his opera Javotte (Cinderella the Younger)<\/em>, which in the opinion of many occupies a distinguished place among the musical works based on the Cinderella<\/em> tale. In the years 1873 and 1874 he tried his fortune in Vienna, where he had two of his operas performed: Goldchignon<\/em> and Die Japanesin<\/em>. In 1882 he returned to the Parisian scene with still another buffo opera in three acts: La bonne aventure<\/em>, based on a libretto by Hector Cr\u00e9mieux, produced at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de la Renaissance. In 1883 Le premier baiser<\/em> was played at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre des Nouveaut\u00e9s. Several years later he published in the Magazin des Demoiselles two works not yet produced: La princesse Kelebella<\/em> and Miss Robinson<\/em>. He has been considered the author of two more: Estelle et N\u00e9mourin<\/em> and Le Roi Midas<\/em>, the latter performed only privately.<\/p>\n

\"tombe_emile_jonas__cimetiere_du_montparnasse_redim.jpg\"Emile Jonas died on May 21, 1905 at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the same city in which an agonized Offenbach put the final touches to Les Contes d\u00b4Hoffmann<\/em>. His remains at rest in the shadow of a lush tree at the Montparnasse cemetery.<\/p>\n

he piano vocal scores of almost all of the mentioned works exist at some libraries and archives in various countries, plus several librettos scattered throughout the most unbelievable places. But it has been a difficult task to establish the whereabouts of the orchestra scores. Most of the publishing houses to which these works were entrusted do not exist anymore, and those which acquired their material are not too well informed about their own possessions. One can only hope that these companies, eventual private collectors or perhaps remaining descendants of the family may suddenly appear, make a little effort, wipe off the dust on their bookshelves and discover them. After an intense, often frustrating and in most cases fruitless search, this author has been able to find and obtain the complete material for Le Canard \u00e0 Trois Becs<\/em>, an undoubtful praiseworthy and much entertaining work. To revive it will certainly prove to be a challenge.<\/p>\n

These days, when it has become fashionable to resurrect forgotten music, the buffo operas of Emile Jonas have not yet been rescued from oblivion. So far we know of the existence of only a few internationally produced recordings of pieces written for saxophones and other brass instruments, whereas some of his liturgical output has been recorded thanks to the efforts of private Jewish institutions and distributed in limited numbers. In the absence of complete orchestra scores one could at least record a selection from his stage works and most certainly his songs and chamber music, with the accompaniment of a piano.
\nEmile Jonas does not deserve to be forgotten.<\/p>\n
