Chanukah song. The Westminster Conservatory Youth Chorale Jewish Music Series. For SATB and Piano.

A delightful Yiddish Chanukah song by Abe Ellstein and Moyshe Oysher, legendary kings of the Yiddish theater. Jacobson's arrangement does not obscure the playful nature of the melody. Bring me bread a...

Three separate settings by three very different composers of the most recognized melody in all of Jewish music. The composers bring stylistically diverse settings ranging from the 19th to mid-20th cen...

This classic liturgical text means purify our hearts, and is appropriate in a wide variety of settings, Jewish and non-Jewish. Here, a strong and dignified sacred text asks God for forgiveness and pur...
