The Hebrew Madrigal Book is an ongoing project of 4-parts songs in the Hebrew Language. The songs vary widely in style and difficulty. It currently consists of the following songs:

1. Lohe Wanthi (from Everyday Madrigals)

2. A Locked Garden (גן נעול)

3. Seeing a Human (בראות אנוש)

4. Pickles (חמוצים)

5. The Morning Song (שיר הבוקר)

6. Happy Is the Match (אשרי הגפרור)

7. I Knew It (ידעתי)

The songs are composed solely in the Hebrew language and do not have English counterparts (or any other language). In the end of every song an English translation is made available together with the original text.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Life as a young woman in the early 20th century wasn't always easy. In fact, it might've not been easy at all - whether as a result of living throughout WWI, changing social norms, or financial hardships. In this book, we get to experience this life through the eyes of Hilda - a somewhat young woman from a simple village in Germany.
