Meryl - 

Transcontinental publishes Steve Barnett's Chanukah Suite "Arise and Be
Free" in four separate offprints, including "S'vivon" (item # 991293). 

Generally, most choral works discussed and recommended on Hanashir as long
as I've been subscribing are published by Transcon. You can call us anytime
at 800.455.5223. Also, please keep in mind that if you photocopy the music
the composer does not get compensated. The more this happens, the less
Jewish music is composed.

Thanks so much for your response.  How do I get a copy.  Do you have any
info on the publisher, or do you have a copy?
