[HANASHIR:9656] Adonai Ro-i

[H & R Shubert <notfranz...>]

At my rabbi's request, I have been singing the Janowski Adonai Ro-i at funerals 
and Yizkor.  I had some concerns about singing it acapella, since there is no 
accompaniment at funerals, but was surprised at how well it works with no 
instrumentation.  I especially like that it is in Hebrew with only  one English 
line: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."  This little bit of the 
vernacular is like an anchor for those who do not follow Hebrew well.  

Gerald Cohen's Adonai Ro-i is lush and beautiful and I have chosen this melody 
for Yizkor at Yom Kippur this year.  I can't say which I prefer since they are 
both so beautiful.
