[HANASHIR:6397] S'lichot songs

[Amgo <Amgo...>]

For the past 2 years I've facilitated a pre-s'lichot service Kumzits at our 
synagogue, co-led by our Rabbi.  I'd teach the songs (providing melody line 
notation as much as possible). He'd offer meditations,  reflections and/or 
commentary periodically through the roughly  1 1/2 hour program (9:30 - 11:00 
pm) and we'd then incorporate some of the songs learned into the service. The 
songs:
    Shalom Aleichem (slow 3 part round)
    Mi Ha'ish - Chait
    Kol Ha'olam Kulo - Chait
    Vetaheir Libeinu - traditional
    Hashiveinu (Carlebach melody - The Z'mirot & Kumzits Songbook, p. 77)
    Hashiveinu (Shefa Gold chant/round on "Chanscendence")
    Return Again - Carlebach
    Shuvi Nafshi - Carlebach - a particular favorite of the "crowd"
    Achat Sha'alti - I. Katz (in Hassidic Favorites, Pasternak, p.18)
    And They Will Come - R. Aryeh Hirschfield on "Let The Healing Begin"
    Shomeir Yisraeil - Carlebach
    Avinu Malkeinu, with "newer" verses including Imeinu Rachameinu (Our        
        Mother, Our Compassionate One) , and Mekoreinu Mechayeinu (Our 
Source,         Our Reviving One) - incredible harmonies possible, as always.
    Ut'shuvah, ut'filah utzedakah (great rap by R. Jack Gabriel on 
"Astonishing is         God")
    Hashiveinu - traditional slow round
