Re: bris music (seriously)

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

Now that we are (hopefully) through the dreadful jokes, three pieces that I 
believe really *can* be considered music for a brit milah:

"Ya'aleh V'yatsliach" on Boston Camerata, MUSIQUE JUDEO-BAROQUE:  a
sunny piece attributed to (and, according to the notes, probably  
commisioned from) one Louis Saladin--probably, according to the  notes, 
non-Jewish (as there's nothing "Jewish-sounding" about the   [Provencal 
Baroque] music

"Oh! That in Nine Months" [O! Que Mueve Mezes]--exquisite piece on  Lauren 
Pomerantz album, whose title I forgot to write down

+, though Isabelle, Joel, etc., who know better, haven't  said, I  believe 
that "Cuando el Rey Nimrod" (Avram Avinu) is associated  w/sung at brit 
milah as well as at (which?) Shabbat meal

Hope this helps -- Robert Cohen
