You're absolutely right; their responses are heavenly, and far different from those of the congregation! It must be purely divine for those who can attend high holiday services at your Synagogue. Living in Vermont, cantorial music such as yours is a distant dream...! I'm enjoying your "channel," and will be back to visit often, as well as to share your music with friends and family.

Thank you so much, Aviva, for all your kind words - they have already made my day! Rowna

Who's singing the chorus on this incredible piece?

[cantorandopera]

We have a professional quartet that sings responses and some hymns by themselves. They add a great deal to the overall beauty and awe of the holidays in which they participate. I put this version together from 2 sources. . .

@sun4305 thank you - just finished this year's HHDays - am too pooped to think, but I always enjoy hearing from people who write nice things about my postings :))
