{"value"=>"<p>This song book was compiled for congregants at a Chicago synagogue and therefore includes a number of liturgical pieces along with year-round holiday materials. The arrangements are in secular style and suitable for use by other communal singing groups. This publication was “dedicated to the memory of Prof. Abraham Z. Idelsohn.” Front matter consists of the following: title and dedication pages; a brief foreword by Harry Coopersmith; and, a table of contents that provides transliterated Hebrew and English song titles in their published roster (with composer or other attribution), and then lists them all again as an alphabetical index. The selections are grouped topically: Sabbath Songs; <span class=\"emph\">Sukkoth</span> and <span class=\"emph\">Simhat Torah; Hanukkah; Purim;</span> Passover; <span class=\"emph\">Shevuoth;</span> and, General Songs. Melodies have transliterated texts under the voice lines, and the piano accompaniment is simple. Additional to the music, verses both in Hebrew print and in transliteration are appended at the lower part of the page. Though the materials are predominantly of folk song origin, there are several citations for significant Jewish composers. Only one liturgical selection, <span class=\"emph\">Kiddush,</span> is unaccompanied, but has some descant harmonization in the voice leading. Several songs are presented with singable English texts. There is a soft cover for the 1946 edition.</p>"}
