Music for Pesach

Original songs by Alexander Massey

• The Four Children – A fun song that use two voice parts, one very simple and repetitive.
• Ki L’olam Chasdo (Ps 136) – Verses from the Great Hallel, including refrains that I very quick for people to pick up around the seder table.
• Oseh Shalom (Ukraine lullaby) – When the war in Ukraine began in February 2022, I set the words to a folksong melody from Ukraine. We have sung this in our community as a reminder of our connection, and responsibilities.
