"It’s a characteristic Rabbi Boruch Chait composition, extremely melodic, and we really took it to a different place with those harmonies"

Can you think of a song that has amazing vocal arrangements?

Ican think of two songs that particularly stand out from a purely musical perspective. One is the first song on Shloime Gertner’s third album Vehiskin, called “Chayim.” It’s a characteristic Rabbi Boruch Chait composition, extremely melodic, and we really took it to a different place with those harmonies. Another is “Naaseh Venishma” on Yossi Green’s The 8th Note album. It’s a complex song, composed in a rhythm of five, which is a South American influenced rhythm, not conventionally used in Jewish music and quite difficult to sing. That hits the next level.
