[HANASHIR:6911] Re: HANASHIR/J Chicago setting

[LizBolton <LizBolton...>]

Dear Julie and Hevre,

The song is called "Eden Once Again" and was composed by Rabbi Margot Stein. 
The lyric was extracted, with Judy Chicago's permission, from her poem 
entitled "Merger" that appears on p. 127 of the KOL HANESHAMAH: Shabbat 
Vehagim prayerbook published by the Reconstructionist Press.

I have a chart, as well as a four-part arrangement available, and would be 
happy to share it, once I secure Rabbi Stein's permission to do so. The song 
will be published next year as part of a song book featuring liturgical music 
by graduates from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College. It can also be 
heard on a CD/tape set that will be released in November, 2000, and keyed to 
the prayerbook. The recording is geared for lay and/or professional "shlihey 
tzibbur" (my preferred term, Julie!).

Please email me privately, AFTER the Tishrey hagim, for copies of this 
wonderful song.

Shana Tova,
Rabbi Elizabeth Bolton, Congregation BeitTikvah, Baltimore, MD
Director, Music and Liturgy Project, Jewish Reconstructionist Federation

 Hi! Does anyone know if there is music for the poem by Judy Chicago called
 Merger?
  (And then all that has divided us will merge.
   And then compassion will be wedded to power.
   .......And then everywhere will be called Eden once again.)
 
 And if there is music where might it be found (CD, books, etc).
 
 Thanks!
