[HANASHIR:2984] Re: High Holiday music

[RMann73214 <RMann73214...>]

hi-

talk to me at Hava.  I have sung the HH for the last three years at my 
temple.    Each year it gets easier and more cohesive.  The first year I was 
a little overwhelmed by the sheer volume of music. Yamim Noraim was a HUGE 
help.  (It's available from Trans Continental)  I don't know the minhag of 
your temple or synagogue.  Do you have a choir sing as well?  Is there an 
accompanist?   I have suggestions on how to simplify it and yet keep the 
music.  find me at Hava and we can talk for a bit.

BTW, water on the bimah is a big no-no.   I would think that would be in bad 
taste at any temple or synagogue.  I simply kept my water off stage and in 
the wings.  (We are in an auditorium)   I most certainly did have to drink 
some water during the service.  However, I waited for a long readers passage 
and quietly slipped off stage to drink the water out of sight of the 
congregation.

Looking forward to talking with you at H.N.
