The traditional dreidle song for Chanukah, recorded with guitar and fiddle in a klezmer style. Gets faster and faster with each repeat, allowing kids to spin like a dreidle and then fall down at the end. Perfect for children.
Cm Ebm Gm Bbm
A contemplative arrangement for Viola, Piano, and acoustic bass of the traditional high holy day song Kol Nidre. Instrumental intro, followed by one time through the song, and a tag instrumental ending.

Note, this arrangement is a shortened version of the full prayer, and is designed to allow for cantorial singing prior to chanting or speaking the full prayer -- an effective High Holiday congregational technique.
