re: Hanukkah music

[Rita Klinger <rklinger...>]

Hello, all.  I've used a few Flory Jagoda (wonderful bearer of Ladino
traditions from Sarajevo) songs with my children's choir (3-4-5th grade).
Ocho Candelikas and Hannuka, o Hannuka (pardon the lousy
transliterations...) can both be heard on a Voice of the Turtle
recording-Circle of Fire. The Ladino certainly makes these songs different
from the usual holiday fare and the texts are quite minimal, so the songs
are easy to learn. And yes, you can perform them without accpompaniment.
