Thank you to all who responded to my colleague's request for Hanukah music
for women's voices! I've kept the "non-women's voices" suggestions which
were sent, too.

voices.
You could contact their director, Iris Levine, at their website:
www.voxfeminala.com.

9) Our publication 24A Zol Zain Sholem (Yiddish for Let There be Peace),
arranged by Josh Jacobson for SA and treble solo accomp. by piano, is not
a
Hanukah song per se but has verses that include Hanukah references
(latkes,
dreidel) and has been used for that purpose by many groups. It also comes
in
SATB (#24). $1 for either. It's lots of fun - very much in the Klezmer
mode.
I'd be happy to send a perusal copy to anyone who'd like one. Judith Cook
