Thank you for your kind reply.  I had our rabbi sing it on to a tape and 
I will transcribe it.  He says it's something the previous cantor "came 
up with" and taught the congregation.  Who knows where the cantor came up 
with it from, maybe it's the one you mention.  If I send you the 
transcrption, perhaps you could let me know.  

I have another question:  are you familiar with the composer Michael 
Horvitt.  I found a piece of his which I liked and plan to perform, 
called "The Prophecy of Amos".  I understand he has also composed a 
Holocaust memorial.   If you have any information about this composer 
that I can put in the program notes I would appreciate it.  E.g., is he 
American or Israeli?  Where did he study, and what are his sources?

I have this book, and several other publications of yours.  Thank you for 
all the good work in this field.
