[HANASHIR:14830] Re: Conservative Wedding

If you are regularly involved in the musical / cantorial aspects of lifecycle 
events, primarily in Reform settings but also in others, an invaluable resource 
is the Cantor's Lifecycle Manual, published by the American Conference of 
Cantors.  It is divided into sections by lifecycle events, presented in a 
convenient and  nicely arranged small looseleaf binder format, and has texts in 
both traditional and contemporary musical settings.  It also has text notes 
regarding differences between Reform texts and traditional texts (for example, 
in the Sheva Berachot, the use of the word "Tzion" in place of "ha-akarah").   
All pieces are notated with the vocal line and, for some, with chords as well.
