If there are good books for a general audience, I'd look and see what Tara
Music carries. Velvel has done lots of hasidic music arranging, so I would be
most surprised if he doesn't have the songs in question in a fake book
somewhere. If they're recent, however, you may have to consult a hasidic
neighborhood music shop (sadly, I have no recommendations).
