Alexandru Mandy (né Armand Abram Penchas; August 9, 1914 – October 10, 2005) was a Romanian Jewish composer.
Additionally, he performed other pieces influenced by traditional Romanian culture such as Cânt pentru bradul meu (I sing for my tree) and Un grai, o vatră, un isvor (A voice, a hearth, a spring).
[5] Mihai's renditions of The endless column and Under a patch of sky won Mandy the prize of the Union of Romanian Composers and Musicologists [ro].
Like all Jews of the time in Romania, he was required to wear the Yellow Star of Jude, and primarily focused on work.
He was deported to Transnistria in the 1940s during the second half of World War II, and after returning to Romania, became the director of studies at the Caragiale National University of Theatre and Film for the years between 1950 and 1952.
