Marcel Tyberg was a forgotten casualty of the Holocaust. Targeted because of his Jewish ancestry (a mere 1/16th of his make-up), Tyberg was deported to Auschwitz, where his death was recorded on New Year’s Eve, 1944.

His music alone should not have attracted unfavorable attention from the authorities. Quite apart from the modernism being explored by many of the composers interned in the “artists’ camp” of Terezin – a musical language the Nazis branded “degenerate” – Tyberg’s symphonies are very much in the Austro-German romantic tradition.

Nevertheless, his output was revived only in the last decade or so, thanks in large part to conductor JoAnn Falletta. This week on “The Lost Chord,” learn about the extraordinary journey of Tyberg’s scores from wartime Italy to 21st century Buffalo.

Tyberg lives again, through his Symphony No. 3, on “Resurrection Symphony,” this Sunday night at 10:00 EST, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
