I recently composed a setting of V’sham’ru for my congregation. It’s a call and response and you can have your community singing it without much teaching at all! I also wanted it to have a taste of brisket and kugel for Shabbes. Add a little shmaltz, and you’re good to go (but just watch your cholesterol!).
I want to share it with you, for free! I just ask that you share it with others!
In order to talk of the role of the Hazzan or Cantor, one must speak about the role of public prayer.
So Monica and I just celebrated our 10th anniversary! I wanted to give her a great gift for the occasion.
As I had mentioned a few days ago, I had the opportunity and honor of performing with Troupers Light Opera Company in their curtain raiser, “The Magic Knight.” It was through this casting I also got to play “The Boatswain” in Gilbert & Sullivan’s “HMS Pinafore.” (Video included!)
Cantor Contzius is a fantastic composer, true. But he is also a mensch.
Hi Eric hope I get the music
Erik, thank you so much! Dave
