Summary:
"Mikraei Kodesh collects Jewish music for sacred moments in sacred space, in sacred time, and with sacred people. Worship leaders will find in this anthology musical and textual solutions for life cycle events and sacred moments that so often occur throughout a progressive synagogue community's year. Gorgeous contemporary solo and duet music is presented in both piano-vocal-guitar and lead sheet formats, covering everything from birth to death, from simchah to solemn occasion. Accompanying recordings featuring top cantorial voices and the composer's own origiinal version are included, as well as helpful indexes offering practical ideas for application of the music in Mikraei Kodesh."--Back cover
