[HANASHIR:5013] Re: Michael Isaacson's ``L'maaseih V'reicheet

We are also co-commissioners in the Chicago area.  I am excited about the 
concept and I like the music.  Our choir director also thought it was too 
much for our youth choir to do themselves so our Adult Choir, Youth Choir 
(5th & 6th grade) and our Junior Choir (3rd & 4th grade) will all be doing 
pieces of it, some individually and some together.  We also, scaled it down 
some and are not doing all of the pieces.  The kerioki aspect is not our 
prefered route.  We will do it this time, because that is what we agreed to, 
then we are looking forward to continuing to use some of the tunes with our 
own accompanist.  The most exciting thing for me is listening to our kids 
rehearsing "Sons of Sarah, Daughters of Abraham".  They sound like angels.  
Brings tears to my eyes every time.
