Re: Kol Nidrei: Yiddish Songs (or Klezmer)

[Lori Cahan-Simon <l_cahan...>]

Bob,

I looked through all the Yom Kippur items I have.  The only one that 
mentions Kol Nidrei by name is "Erev yom-kiper" by Gebirtig.  I don't 
have music for it, but found it in a book called "The Song of Love and 
Sorrow", 1962.  If anyone has the music for it, I'd love to have it. 
 Other than that, I have two that are also without music, by Leah 
Kapelovitsh ("Yom kiper"), and the other by Morris Rosenfeld, "Yom kiper 
tsu minkhe", about the time right before Kol Nidrei.  As to songs, I 
also have "Dem zeydns brokhe" and "Erev yom kiper", a children's song 
about forgiving friends, the Rebi Berditshever "Al kheyt", and "Al 
tashlikheynu (A Father's Prayer)" by Broidy and Friedsel, words by 
Solomon Small (Shmulevitz).  If any of these would be helpful to you, 
let me know.
