This compact and conveniently sized volume contains the music and lyrics of 23 Passover seder songs, prayers, and chants, and presents them in the order in which they appear in the seder. The book can therefore accompany any haggadah. The book contains traditional and contemporary melodies. The lyrics are in transliteration of Hebrew or Aramaic and also in English. The arrangements are in keys that are easy to sing and play, with chords for piano and guitar. Companion recordings, entitled "Songs of the Seder" by Judy Rubenstein, are available on CD and cassette.

Songs of the Seder,
By A Customer
This review is from: Songs of the Seder : A Music Book to Accompany the Passover Haggadah, Second Edition (Paperback)
This is a fabulous book and exactly what I was looking for. I'm also thrilled that it has an accompanying CD that matches exactly. I am leading a seder this year for a church group who has never heard any of the songs before, so I wanted the traditional melodies, easy to follow sheet music, and easy guitar chords. This is perfect! I'm so pleased.
