While we're on the subject of chasidic material on singing...

A chassidic aphorism makes the head clear and the heart clean.
A chassidic virtuous practice fills the home with light
A chassidic melody fortifies hope and trust, brings joyousness,and places the
home and family in a state of "light."

The Tamach Tzedek composed many melodies. He studied Torah aloud and with
song. It would happen that he would interrupt his studies, or his writing
Chassidus or responsa, and sing some melody. My grandfather related that from
the sound of the Tzemach Tzedek's melody he could tell in what subject he was
then occupied.

The procedure for kashering meat for eating-by purging it of forbidden blood- 
is:  Soaking, salting and rinsing. These concepts in avodah: 
Soaking, is immersing oneself in the rebbes words, 
salting-yechidus; 
rinsing- chassidic song.(nigun)
