[HANASHIR:16691] Questions re trope, and re Haftarah blessings.

[Ros Schwartz <ros...>]

1.  So my daughter has been studiously studying from the Navigating the 
Bible website, at 
http://bible.ort.org/books/torahd5.asp?ACTION=displayid&id=2559 .  But I 
thought she might learn faster if she understood the trope.  So I got 
out the UAHC book on Cantillation that I bought at Hava Nashira a few 
years ago, and we began to study it together.  Only to discover that ... 
the music is completely different!  I presume that the Navigating the 
Bible trope is a valid variation, so she will continue to use that one, 
since she has started with it ... but I wonder if anyone can clarify 
which trope system is described in the Cantillation book, and which 
system is in use on the bible.ort.org website?

2.  Also, I wanted to review some of the details of the Haftarah 
blessings.  The version on the Navigating the Bible website is different 
from the one our congregation uses ... and my own knowledge of the 
melody is vague in places.  Is there a transcription in one of the 
"usual songbooks", or a recording on another website, where I can check 
out the details?

Thanks, as always, for your help,
