Kol Rinnah U’Tefillah (English: The Voice of Prayer and Praise) is a British collection of Jewish liturgical music published in 1899.
In 1899, the Choir Committee of the Council of the United Synagogue commissioned Francis Lyon Cohen (FLC) and David Montague Davis (DMD) to colate a standardized the body of liturgical music.
[2] The blue book contains songs and chants for the entire Jewish calendar written in reduced-score 4-part harmony so it could be played on the piano or organ to accompany the choir in rehearsal or at a wedding ceremony, and the melody and alto lines in tonic sol fa for those who are unable to read sheet music notation.
19 – “Open the Heavens…” from the oratorio Elijah; and Hodo Al Eretz which is based on Hear my Prayer/O for the wings of a Dove (Psalm 55) by Felix Mendelssohn.
DMD chose to arrange Va’anachnu in the same key, but doubled note lengths when transcribing it.
