Ros & all,

Mah Gadlu is in Transcon's Complete Shireinu. We use the harmonies we heard
from Jill Abramson @ HN 2002---which are not in Shireinu. Antiphonally is
fancy for "call and response", a natural rhthym for Jewish prayer.

Julie,

Where can I get the music for Shefa Gold's Ma Gadlu?

Also ... what does "antiphonally" mean?

And ... does anyone else remember, is this the song that we sang, for a 
very long time, at one of the closing sessions at HN on a Sunday morning 
- I think it was in 2001? - if so, it was absolutely beautiful!

Thanks,

- Ros
