[HANASHIR:13026] RE: Wedding Music

[Eric Komar <ekomar...>]

I'd recommend Kol Dodi from Transcontinental (book or 2CD set) for vocal
wedding music - it has 5 separate services of varying styles (one of which
is an original Danny Maseng folk service and the recording has Danny
performing it!) and about 30 different solo songs, a lot from Song of Songs,
etc. You shouldn't really need anything else. They also have a cool original
solo voice/violin/flute/keyboard work by Randolph Lowell Dreyfuss called
Music for a Jewish-American Wedding - it's absolutely beautiful.

check their web site at www.TranscontinentalMusic.com.
