"Circle Round for Freedom" and "Circle Chant" are one and the same.... the
actual title is Circle Chant. Given that it's not that piece.... well, I'd
sure like more info than the fact that the word "circle" appears somewhere in
the lyrics. Aside from "Circle Chant" the only piece that comes to mind is
actually off of the Hirschhorn/Avni "Blessings in Song" CD, whose texts come
from Marcia Falk's Book of Blessings. The piece is "Ma'gal
Hahayim/Sustaining Life, Embracing Death." I'd reprint the entire piece here
-- it's short -- but I'd risk calling down the wrath of the copyright gods
and their servants and priests, so I won't, but trust me, the word "circle"
is in there. You can find it on pp. 194-95 of the Book of Blessings.
I understand your cantor is probably looking for a specific, known piece, but
I'd also suggest Hirschhorn's Blessing for Children as a wonderful piece to
use for a naming. It's on her Roots and Wings CD.
If your cantor has any further information on the song he's looking for,
please post (or email privately) and I will see what else I can dig up. I
haven't located my Gather Round tape, which could contain a piece with
"circle" in it somewhere.
