Various Arrangers : Hebrew Songs : 3 Parts : Sheet Music Collection

Various Arrangers : Hebrew Songs

Cantor Rena Shapiro's take on the Israeli classic "Eili, Eili" is a fantastic a cappella addition to any repertoire. The setting's savvy utilization of just three voices gives it lots of mileage with a beginning choir but provides plenty for an advanced one to work with in terms of expression and nuance. The piece includes sections in both Hebrew and English. The flowing, contrapuntal movement in Cantor Davidson's setting of Psalm 121 ("A song of ascents...") is at once modern and madrigal, and provides options for singing in English, Hebrew, or both. The song S'Vivon depicts the Hanukkah dreydl, a small top with four sides. Each side of the dreydl contains one of the four Hebrew initials of the phrase, "(A) Great Miracle Happened There."

Songlist: Eili, Eili, Shir Hama'alot, S'Vivon

And Miriam Sang (Shiru L'Adonai) : SSAA : Zebulun M. Highben : Sheet Music : 48021195 : 884088627799

Zebulun M. Highben : And Miriam Sang (Shiru L'Adonai)

Based on a biblical text, And Miriam Sang is a song of celebration following Israel's deliverance from Egypt through the Red Sea. It begins in a slow, chant-like manner, and soon shifts to an up-tempo dance-like mood. Although the melodies are original, they incorporate the augmented second interval and melodic formulas common to Hasidic and some Middle-Eastern music. The use of Hebrew text, tambourine and drums add to the authentic feel. Duration: ca. 3:15. Performed by Michigan State University Women's Chamber Ensemble, Sandra Snow, conductor.
