Dear Safranim - I just learned about a new publication which I think will interest many of you. It's a book of original Yiddish songs: From Holocaust to Life (Fun khurbn tsum lebn). Vilna-born Montreal composer David Botwinik presents his life's work, a collection of 56 original musical compositions. These include solo and choral works -- with lyrics by various Yiddish poets -- complete with English translations, piano accompaniments, and chords. This 392-page "lay-flat" hardcover book was published by the League for Yiddish (New York).
You may order the book from the League for Yiddish: i...@leagueforyiddish.org ($40 US each, plus postage) or from Alexander Botwinik: i...@botwinikmusic.com.
