{"value"=>"<p>This Yiddish song collection follows the same compilation and editing styles as earlier entry no. 92. Contents are wide-ranging, and there is much informative text material in addition to the music. The book opens with a table of contents, a transliteration guide, and a detailed 8-page introduction by the compilers/editors offering a guide to the particular contents and background matter on particular songs. Each selection is preceded by the following: its title in Yiddish print and in transliteration; annotative citations; a summary translation of the poetics/lyrics; and, full verses in Yiddish print and in transliteration. Then the music follows with one transliterated verse under melody lines that have been edited with guitar chords accompaniment, suitable for the piano. The songs appear in the book according to topical sections: Songs of Childhood; Songs of Love; Songs of Work, Poverty, and Protest; Once Upon a Time; Our Beloved Rabbi; Humorous Songs and Songs for Celebrations and Parties; Songs in a Quiet Mood; Songs of Survival and National Aspiration; The Golden Land; and, Songs of the Theatre. A final section of the book is devoted to the following: a bibliographical listing of books and songsters; an index of titles and first lines for all the songs; and, a list of composers and writers. Also included in this back section is an unpaginated table of contents for the materials in earlier entry no. 92, and a Yiddish print abbreviated version of the book's introductory essay. There is a colorful design, back and front, for the soft cover, and attractive drawings highlight the various sections.</p>"}
