Libi B'Mizrach Volume II collects the incredible liturgical music of Israel's progressive minyanim, communities, songwriters, and composers. To Western ears, Jewish liturgy, prayers, blessings, and piyutim (liturgical poems) are most purely expressed through the tongue of a native Hebrew speaker. These original Israeli melodies come straight from the source, with nothing lost in translation. Until Libi B'Mizrach, many of these songs were inaccessible or unavailable to those for whom Hebrew is a supplementary language. Now, these beautiful, engaging melodies are presented in concise, practical lead sheet format. A download card containing a unique code is included in the book containing original artist audio tracks (in the digital version, audio files are included)! Libi B'Mizrach Volume II includes music from these songwriters, many published in the West for the first time: Avigail Uziel Amar (who wrote the huge hit, included here for the first time in the West, ?Kanfei Ruach?), Eyal Bat, Navot Ben Barak, Savion Ben Israel, Micha Biton, Shani Ben Or, and Boaz Dorot, Shlomo Gronich/Atalya Lavi/Yonatan Niv from the Beit Tefilah Israeli community, Gilad Hazan, Margalit Jakob, Meirav Meshulam Levy, Porat Nov, Maya Raviv, Nava Tehila, Baruch Shiryon, Shimon Smith, Michal Talya, and Or and Feliza Zohar. 8.5and#8243; x 11and#8243; paperback with audio download code on bind-in card. 76 pages including introduction by Cantor David Berger, songwriter pictures and biographies, and Libi B'Mizrach series index. |
