Here's a free one for you to sing ( but not record). Multi part harmony is
great without instrumentation in the style of barbershop quartet.

Words by: Ron Reff ©1997
Save us Esther
Save us dear
This is what I know
You can save our people here
You can make it so
Save us Esther from that man
Who would do us in
With you Esther and your skill
You can help us win
Save us Esther
Save the Jews
from that evil man
Please don't Esther, don't refuse
Give it all you can
Love him Esther
Love the King
Give the man a thrill
You can save our people here
and I know you will

Based on the Purim story and classic rock'n'roll from the 50's, 60's and 70's.
Melodies are from standard tunes from Elvis, Beatles, Beach Boys, Creedence
Clearwater, etc. They follow along with the reading of the Megilla. Great for
choirs, music leaders and sing alongs. Musical notation is not included.
