[HANASHIR:11089] RE: songs of freedom

[kgohr <kgohr...>]

I highly recommend Rabbi Shawn Zevit's chant to anyone, 
working with Pesach stuff, and who isn't this time of 
year. It's a great piece that I found easy to learn, and 
the echo not only adds a haunting effect, but 
effectively teaches the 10 plagues in Hebrew. Ilana 
taught this piece to me on my last trip to Chicago and I 
haven't been able to get it out of my head since.
