פיוט Cool Hebrew Website
פיוט
Saul Friedman, a fellow PhD student here in Berkeley, gave me a lead on this incredible site, ww.piyut.org.il. It is an awesome database of Jewish melodies from all over the world. This link will take you to the Piyyut of the week: Eil Norah Alilah, which is a beautiful poem for the last service on Yom Kippur. The number of melodies available for this one piyyut is pretty amazing; there are tunes from Morocco, Kurdistan, Italy, Yemen, Iran, Turkey, India, Bukhara... I think you get the picture.
Be aware, though: (1) it is VERY slow to download the music files; (2) the site is in Hebrew only.
In other words, it's not particularly useful yet. But it has promise.
