{"value"=>"<p>The music in this collection was intended for the religious education of children, at school assemblies, and as a liturgical junior service hymnal. The music is arranged for solo voice and two-part (SA) choral vocal lines, with a simple piano accompaniment. Along with the table of contents, there is an informative brief preface by the composer-educators for their book of devotional hymns and Sabbath table songs. Each selection is given in clear musical notation, with poetics/lyrics both in Hebrew print text and in transliteration. The words are transliterated under music lines, and then appear in Hebrew print version following upon the music. Although some of the melodies were adapted from traditional liturgical chants, most remain the works of the composer-compilers, the brothers Goldfarb. Almost all of their original tunes have become “standards” in the Jewish congregational repertoire, and are generally considered as of “folk” origin rather than as composed music. This copy of the little hard cover book is a rare gem.</p>"}
