[HANASHIR:9667] Re: Sheva Brachot

[Burton A. Zipser <zipmusic...>]

To Roslyn, Rabbi Schachet and any others looking for music for Jewish 
rite of passage:
        For the Sheva Brachot (and many other options), you should 
have a copy of the CANTOR'S LIFECYCLE MANUAL, published by the 
American Conference of Cantors.  It was published in 2000 and is a 
compendium of musical selections divided into the following 
categories:  Birth, Bar/Bat Mitzvah, Weddings, Healing Prayers, 
Funerals, and Blessings.  As an example, the Sheva B'rachot are 
included with compositions by Israel Alter, Adolph katchko, Allen 
Leider, an arrangement by Benji Schiller,  and Ben Steinberg.  All 
selections are presented with the melody line and words only, with 
some selections including chord symbols.  For information, call 
770-390-0006, or write to The American Conference of Cantors, 55911 
Chamblee Dunwoody Road, Bldg. 1360, Suite 200, Atlanta, GA 30338; or 
fax a request to 770-390-0020.  You will find the volume to be 
indispensible.
