Talk:Samuel Cohen (composer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Wrong title

In fact, Shmuel Cohen was not a composer (he just took a popular Romanian melody for Hatikvah), but I currently have no time to fix the article. --Yms 20:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll attempt to fix the article. I used "composer" in the title to disambiguate from Samuel Cohen the physicist. Where are you getting your information? If we don't call him a composer, can he be called an "arranger"? I think an arranger is a subset of a composer. —Viriditas | Talk 22:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I used sources in Russian and Hebrew, but there are English sources too: [1], [2] [3]. He just set the lyrics of the future anthem to the music of some well-known Romanian song. He was a Romanian or Moldavian immigrant to Palestine. I don't know his profession, he could be a worker etc. You may just rename him to Samuel Cohen (Israel), or Samuel (Shmuel) Cohen, etc., but both versions are quite non-standard... --Yms 22:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll attempt to solve this problem in the next day or so. —Viriditas | Talk 09:10, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
