I undertook the project to create a multi-media seder chazzanut in 2005 with the expectation to finish it within a reasonable amount of time. For various reasons the progress is slow. One reason is that it is just not easy to capture the details. Furthermore, over time I realized there is more to it than expected.

The chazzanim and shamashim who wrote their seder chazzanut mainly wrote it for their own usage and that of their successors. Many details are missing either because they were so obvious that writing them down was not needed, or because they happened outside the regular service and thus not needed for them. The same is true for the recordings. Here parts are also missing because they were outside the service, forgotten or got lost.

In order to safeguard all the material I gathered, I placed all texts and recordings on this page. Hopefully, more and more will be explained in details in dedicated pages, as done for parts of the site which are ready. These pages have some extra recordings which are not part of the "all material' collection.

Even though you will find corrections on seder chazzanut and the recordings, this is by no means to disqualify the people who put tremendous efforts in place to make them. On the contrary, without their effort our unique nosach (liturgical custom) would probably completely be lost after this generation, as we unfortunately see in other places. We are extremely grateful to them for their documenting in writing and recording.

Note 1: We don't know who sung these melodies and unfortunately, there is nobody with us anymore who can identify the voice. Being it part of the Pereira collection and not being SRP nor his son MRP, it may have been Dr. E.A. Rodrigues Pereira, an older brother of Haham SRP. Mind that Dr. Pereira dictated music, written down in notes by Hans Krieg, in 1947, see DP-HK13. (top part shown below).
