[HANASHIR:13262] Yiddish site

[Avglrchl <Avglrchl...>]

Hi,
    Recently I requested some Yiddish songs for an immigration curriculum. I 
received some terrific help. I had copies of many of the songs, but no 
translations. For song translations I found the following site a tremendous 
help: www.princeton.edu/zemerl.
    The site is easy to use.
    I was able to find Yiddish transliterations for more verses than I have, 
English translations to the verses, a different copy for classroom use, and 
information on some of the composers and lyricists. You could also listen to 
different versions of the songs, with suggested CDs where you could hear the 
songs. Those were accessible from the site.
    The site had more than Yiddish songs, but that was my focus. Had holidays 
and other themes, as well.
    I just wanted to pass the information along and hope it helps some of you 
musicians out there. I'm grateful because the site saved me many phone calls.
    Thanks for all your assistance in helping me compile a list of songs.
    Shalom,
