Some Thoughts on the Music Service

Sincere thanks to the musicians who gave of their talents to make the service possible and enjoyable. They have done a terrific job all year, and we thank them.

The congregation (via the Executive Board and the Music Committee) sent a floral thank you to Carol Boyd Leon for sharing her music with us.

Carol  thanks us for our thoughts and says, “I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate the absolutely beautiful flowers that arrived at my house just in time for Shabbat. It was a gift that I’ll always remember and I was struck with emotion when I opened the box and read the card....Thank you for the lovely surprise.”

Many have asked for copies of the quotes used in the service. I am not comfortable about passing them on without correct citations. That will take a bit of time to reconstruct. However, below I list some of the sources that I used in preparation of the service. You might enjoy looking at them.

  • An Encyclopedia of Quotations about Music,Nat Shapiro (editor)
  • Book of Blessings (The),by Marcia Falk
  • Dictionary of Musical Quotations, Ian Crofton and Donald Fraser
  • Drumming at the Edge of Magic: A Journey into the Spirit of Percussion, Mickey Hart
  • In Praise of Music: An Anthology , Richard Lewis
  • Music, The Brain and Ecstasy : How Music Captures Our Imagination , Robert Jourdain
  • Music of the Whole Earth, David Reck
  • Musical Quotes and Anecdotes, Robert Gieldings
  • Twang: The Ultimate book of Country Music Quotations, Raymond Obstfeld and Sheila Loveless
Thank you for your comments about how you enjoyed the Music Service. I hoped you would.
