  • Nisn Spivak (widely known as Nisye Beltzer, from Yiddish Belts — Balti; 1824 – 1906) was a Jewish cantor and composer. He was cantor in Balti (Beltsy), Bessarabia, and was generally known as ‘Nisn Beltzer’. Later he was cantor at Kishinev and from 1877 at Berdyczów (now in Ukraine). In his childhood he had an accident which damaged his voice but he had an extensive reputation primarily as a composer and choir conductor. It was his vocal handicap that led him to develop original synagogue music in which the choir, instead of being merely an accompaniment or used for responses, was assigned lengthy ensembles - with solos and duets - reducing the role of the cantor. Spivak attracted many students to Berdichev and took his choirs to other centers, including Hasidic courts.
  • Nissan Spivak était un chantre et compositeur juif. Exerçant à Balti, en Bessarabie, il était généralement connu comme ‘Nisn Belzer’. Il fut ensuite chantre à Kishinev et, à partir de 1877, à Berditchev. Dans son enfance, il eut un accident qui endommagea sa voix, mais il se construisit une grande réputation comme compositeur et conducteur de chœur. C'est précisément son handicap vocal qui l'amena à développer une musique synagogale originale dans laquelle le chœur n'avait plus la simple fonction d'accompagner ou de répondre à l'officiant, mais se voyait assigner de longs ensembles — avec des solos et des duets — réduisant le rôle du chantre. Nissan Spivak attira de nombreux étudiants à Berditchev, et emmena ses choristes dans d'autres centres, y compris au sein des « cours » hassidiques.
