DESCRIPTION:
This is a traditional arrangement by Louis Lewandowski of the Kol Nidrei* prayer, sung a capella by George Glass, a member of the Shirim Choir of Beth Israel Congregation, Jackson, MS. I have posted this video for the amusement of friends and relatives who thought I would never again set foot in a shul after my Bar Mitzvah; perhaps it will also help other laymen who are trying to learn the piece. It is sung a half-step higher then the written key of F minor.
This was my best dry run so far, but still room for improvement. However, I am a 64-year-old untrained singer who had never sung a note in public until 10 years ago, so cut me some slack. (*Gentiles, for info please click here: http://judaism.about.com/od/holidays/g/What-Is-Kol-Nidre.htm )
