Re: Re: Itsy Bitsy Spider and other Liturgucal Themes

While we're on the topic of nusach and its appropriateness (or
inappropriateness) to the liturgy, let me ask if anyone knows an alternative
melody for Ashrei. Here is a prayer/psalm expressing utmost joy and awe in
God's creation and benevolence -- sung to one of the most tedious, droning
tunes imaginable -- albeit in a major key. Certainly there must be some more
uplifting, joyous music that expresses the theme more appropriately. Anyone
know of anything? Just curious.
