[HANASHIR:9421] Re: "Life Cycle" solist - fees

[Sherry & David Blumberg <blumbrg...>]

In answer to whether the new Cantor's Lifecycle Manual has notation and
chords,
    It has both.  Standard Music notation (treble clef) and Chord notation
(not fingering charts, just chord names, like "E", "Gm7", etc).  It has gobs
of different possibilities for weddings, funerals, memorial services, nine
different Mi Shebeirach's, oodles of miscellaneous blessings, bar/bat
mitzvah anthems, music for B'rit Milah, etc.
    Another source you may want to get is the brand new "Music for a Jewish
American Wedding", published by Transcontinental and which I've ordered but
not yet received.  It has, as best I can recall, beginning to end wedding
music for at least 5 or 6 different types of Jewish weddings, from
full-blast traditional, to sephardic, to different sorts of modern and
mixes.  It's scored for voice, keyboard and flute, and seems like it will be
a wonderful resource.
