[HANASHIR:6744] Re: Holocaust music

[Judy Ginsburgh <jerd...>]

Noah,

There is a book called Yes, We Sang!  Songs of the Ghettos and Concentration
Camps.  It is published by Harper and Row and is by Shoshana Kalisch.  I do
not know if TARA carries it or not.  But it has lots of music and
information about each song.  It is great resource to have in any music
collection.  I also have a CD by Leon Lishner called Our Town Is Burning:
Cries From the Holocaust.  It is on the Centaur label and was released in
1994.  It has 27 songs from the Holocaust on it.  I also have several more
"art song" music collection of songs from the Holocaust.  Cannot get my
hands on them now, but I have performed them previously.  If I run across
them, I will pass along the info.  Also, Steve Dropkin has a beautiful,
haunting melody for Ani Maamin.  There is also L. Avery's Blessed is the
Match with words by Hannah Senesh which is a lovely piece.

Judy :)
