Dear Cantor,
I love you website. People can really learn a lot from you.
I am looking for music for High Holy Days 2011 for a Reform congregation. I would be doing some solo fill-in pieces while the Cantor would be chanting the main pieces which he will choose. We may have some duets. He is a baritone and I am an alto who can reach much the second-soprano range.
While we mainly do traditional pieces, it would be great to have some suggestions of slightly less conventional music that will stir up the congregation in an uplifting way.
All suggestions are welcome!
