  I use the following music in my family HHD services.  I posted to the entire 
list because I thought it might be of general interest.

  RH:

  L'shanah Tovah by Peter and Ellen Allard
  Tapuchim Ud'vash - trad.
  We Thank (It's A Brand New Year) - Debbie Friedman
  __________________________________________
  I use the following words with the trad. Avinu Malkeynu tune
  Avinu Malkeynu (5x) sing only these words to first part of song - Part A

  When the next part of song begins use these words:  Part B
  I'll try, I'll try to be
  The best that I can be
  I'll try, I'll try to do what is right
  And be the best me I can be.

  Back to beg. part - Part A
  I'm sorry for what I did wrongs (2x)
  I'll try to be better, I'll try to be better.
  I'm sorry for what I did wrong.
  ______________________________________
  Shofar Song - not sure where this one comes from but the tune is basically 
the same tune as the Folk Song "My Grandfather's Clock.

  I am the shofar, I'm the horn of a ram
  You can hear me on Rosh Hashanah
  When the Ba'al Tekiah gets ready to blow
  You can hear the sound of Tekiah  (ah- ah)

  Not a sound in the shul, not a whisper or sigh
  You can hear the drop of a pin.
  When the Ba'al Tekiah gets ready to blow
  The sound of Shevarim (ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)

  I am the shofar, I'm the horn of a ram
  You can hear me on Rosh Hashanah
  Everyone tries to count
  All the blasts that I make
  In the sound of Teruah - ah-ah 9x

  All together that day
  You will hear one hundred sounds
  Which reminds us to do teshuvah
  Now let's see if you all
  Will be able to recall
  The sweet sounds of the shofar

  Tekiah - ah-ah
  Shevarim - 3x
  Teruah - 9x
  Tekiah Gedolah - one long note
  __________________________________

  Tekiah - again not sure where this one comes from.  You can do it in either 
Hebrew or English or both
  Tekiah (3x)  zeh kol shofar (says the shofar)
  Tekiah (3x)  Shanah Tovah (Happy New Year)
  ___________________________________________

  Yom Kippur:

  I do a very brief version of Kol Nidre - so they can hear it
  This is the Day - Debbie Friedman
  On This Yom Kippur Day - Ray Cook
  Each year we add an opening song and a solo.  Last year we did Dan Nichol's 
Hine Ma Tov and Beth Schafer's Children of Freedom for these.
