[HANASHIR:15308] Re: Simple children's choir suggestions

[Gohr454 <Gohr454...>]

Cantor Lisa Doob from Temple Anshe Shalom, Olympia Fields, IL. has written a 
great piece that could work for children's choir called "Stop Knocking Over 
the Candles!" A really cute piece about a kid who keeps running into the 
Chanukiyah, knocking over the candles and has to put that candles back before 
they 
get caught. A child or children could solo on the verses with everyone joining 
in on the chorus. The chorus also teaches how to place the candles correctly in 
the chanukiah. This piece is a real gem, I'm planning on using it this year 
with my kids. The piece isn't formally published, but I know she has sheet 
music with piano accompaniment. You can contact her at cantortas (at) 
aol(dot)com(dot) If 
enough people are interested she might be persuaded to post it on 
www.totshabbat.com . She already has three of her pieces posted, one for RH, 
one for Shabbat 
and one for Sukkot. Check them out, they're all really good for younger 
children.
