sanpaku_backupOh, ick.
What someone needs to say in all this is that while the vocal lines of Jewish music are often quite beautiful, I don't think I've EVER heard instrumental accompaniment to traditional liturgy that wasn't absolutely dreadful. Just go into any Jewish bookstore and you'll hear what I mean. Or for that matter, try to listen to some samples of Taubman's stuff on iTunes without retching. The service at Bnai Jeshurun I went to a number of years ago played like that old SNL skit with Will Ferrel and Molly Shannon murdering pop music with their keyboard. For the life of me I don't understand how anyone can find this tripe compelling.
