This is Off Topic, but I don't know where else to turn... I'm looking for a basic, out-of-copyright four-part harmony version of Tzur Ma'oz that I can transcript in Lilypond for my singing group (Shape Note).
I could not find any on the "Sheet Music Wiki" <http://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page> Also, we had a discussion at Barbershop Chorus last night about our Christmas song list. Not a "Holiday Song list" -- only Christian songs were there. That's a big problem in West Los Angeles. Barbershop -- we wanna sing the barbershop cord maybe 30% of the song (by duration; we tend to hold it out), maybe 60% of the song. Does anybody know about a crash-course (simple guidelines) for goyish song leaders who need to arrange Hannukah songs? What are the harmonies & choirly effects that need to be achieved? Any thoughtful essays on what "interfaith" means -- not in terms of highly-trained, virtuoso choirs, but grass-roots community singing? Virtuosos can pull off any stunt, of course. But at the grass-roots -- not just a different musical species or genre or family or tribe... Maybe as different as invertebrates from vertebrates?
