Presented here is a collection of 350 songs in four volumes, complete with the music, the words in Yiddish and in transliteration into Latin characters, and translations or summaries in English and Hebrew. A comprehensive and lyrical introduction by Abba Kovner, opens the Anthology. Kovner traces the sources of Yiddish song, recreates the pre-war East European Jewish world in which the songs are rooted, and fuses memory with history to make the material live. (Hebrew, English and Yiddish)
