From Elul to Neiloh, in one book. The High Holidays Collection is a piano songbook for Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and the days around them: 40 arrangements of the tefilos, niggunim and songs of the Yomim Noraim, from the first Selichos to the last moments of Neiloh, with the complete words of every song in Hebrew and transliteration. Kol Nidrei, Avinu Malkeinu, Ochila Lakel, Vechol Maaminim, Achas Shoalti, Shana Tova: the melodies you hear in shul and at the table, written so you can actually play them.
The same page, in the two editions. This is exactly what you get.
Piano editionLeft hand written out note by note
Lead sheet editionMelody with chord symbols
Two staves. The melody in the right hand, and in the left hand the same chords, but written out as real notes on the staff. You do not need to know what Dm or A7 means or how to voice it: you read the notes and play. Chord symbols are printed above as well, for anyone who does want them.
One staff: the melody with chord symbols above it, and you build the accompaniment yourself. Three chord reference pages at the back show every chord in the book on a keyboard, with the fingering. For piano, keyboard, guitar, violin, clarinet or voice.
Open a section to see every song. Tap the blue button to hear a preview, or tap a song name to open its own sheet music.
Every song is set in a key that sits under the hand: mostly D minor, A minor, F and C, nothing with more than one flat or one sharp. No awkward reading, no transposing on the fly. A beginner can play the melody, and the same page still works for an experienced player.
Fourteen pages of lyrics at the back: Hebrew with full nekudos on one side, transliteration on the other, line for line. Every song printed in full, not just the first verse, so anyone at the table can join in even without reading Hebrew.
In the lead sheet edition, three reference pages at the back show every chord in this book the way your left hand really plays it: written on the staff, marked on a keyboard, with the fingering under each key. The last page gives the chord turns that carry most of the songs, so the hand stops jumping.
Tap any song in the contents or the index and you land straight on its page. The index gives two numbers for every song: where the music is and where the words are.
Learn the tunes before Rosh Hashanah, so the table sings together instead of humming along.
One reliable source for the melody and the words, instead of five different photocopies.
A full season of repertoire students want to play, at a level they can reach.
Hear a tune in shul, find it in the book, and know how it goes by next year.
40 arrangements of the songs and tefilos of the Yomim Noraim, from Elul and Selichos through Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Teshuvah. Where a song has several well-loved melodies, all of them are included one after another. The complete words of every song are printed at the back in Hebrew with a full transliteration.
Take the piano edition if you want to open the book and simply play: the left hand is written out note by note, so you never have to work out a chord yourself. Take the lead sheet edition if you already read chord symbols, or if you sing or play another instrument. The lead sheet edition if you sing, accompany with chords, or play another instrument: melody line with chord symbols above it, and a chord reference at the back. The songs are the same in both.
Any level, honestly. Everything is written in comfortable keys, mostly D minor, A minor, F and C, with no more than one flat or one sharp, so nothing is awkward to read. The piano arrangements sit at easy to intermediate: nothing dense to learn, both hands stay in a comfortable position. In the lead sheet edition the melody line alone is playable by an advancing beginner, and the chord reference shows every chord in the book in the shape your left hand plays it.
Yes. The complete text of every song is printed at the back, Hebrew with full nekudos on one side and transliteration on the other, line for line, so anyone at the table can join in even if they do not read Hebrew.
Ashkenaz pronunciation for the tefilos, kept consistent from the first page to the last. Modern Israeli songs keep their familiar spelling. Divine names appear in their substituted form.
Because people sing them to different tunes. Achas Shoalti alone appears in three melodies, and Chamol Al Maasecho, Ki Onu Amecho and Melech Rachamon each appear twice, so you can find the version your shul or family uses.

Yes, for your own teaching. The licence covers personal use, printing for yourself and playing at home, in shul and at simchos. It does not cover redistributing the file.

The songs are set in comfortable keys, mostly D minor, A minor, F and C, and the arrangements sit at easy to intermediate level. Delivered as a print-ready A4 PDF, instant download.
