Soulful and inspirational, the nigun embodies the core of the Jewish spirit and helps create atmosphere and unity in worship, concert, or around the Shabbat table. Nigun Anthology is a diverse, dynamic, and distinctive compilation of (mostly) wordless Jewish melodies and liturgical settings. Including a download of the accompanying album featuring recordings of every song, the NIGUN ANTHOLOGY series is an ongoing supply of both new and old worded and wordless melodies. Newly composed tunes by contemporary composers and songwriters are featured alongside ecstatic traditional Chasidic tunes, all offering a source of joy and soulful moments in worship and community. For those unfamiliar with the colorful history behind nigunim, the Forward by noted ethnomusicologist Judah Cohen will bring you up to date. The Nigun Anthology series forms the world's most comprehensive collection of nigunim. 8.5 inch. x 11 inch. paperback with audio download code on bind-in card, 76 pages including notational, composer, and title volume indexes.
