I was very dissapointed when I received this book. I was expecting ALL of the songs on the matching cd to be in this book, when that is not the case. NONE of the instrumental pieces are included, and my favorite vocal piece (which happens to have a violin part also) is also nowhere to be found. Honestly, while I'm sure the book still has good music, I'm not even sure I'll use it at all, as all the songs we wanted to use for our ceremony are not in this book.
Those who have been eagerly awaiting the scores for the instrumental music on the CD's that accompany this book will be pleased to learn that they have just been published as Kol Dodi, Vol. 2. This beautiful collection of processionals, recessionals, and incidental music arranged for a variety of instruments and instrumental combinations (ranging from piano or organ solo to string quartet, trumpet, violin, flute, and more) should prove an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to plan a ceremony that will be both moving and authentically drawn from Jewish tradition.
I bought this book with the cd, and it did not come with the music to all of the songs as I had expected. However, it contains the music to very many beautiful songs! My husband and I picked all of our ceremony songs out of this book instead of from the cd, and our pianist was thrilled!(she was not Jewish so she wasn't very familiar with many Jewish wedding songs) -- she had no problem learning them and playing pieces for us to choose from. I really liked this book!
