So, two guys I like a lot - Paul Shaviv and Fred MacDowell - appear to have collaborated in 2012 on something amazing, and I am just discovering it now.
In brief: Fred found an old hagadah that included the musical notation for two Passover night hymns according to the tune used by Western European Jews in the 17th century. Paul, who runs a school, asked the music director to arrange the music so the school choir could perform it.
And here it is! A 21st century kid's choir singing 17th century Passover songs. Thank God for the Internet!
