Maoz Tsur on CD?

Question

I am looking for a CD with Maoz Tsur on it. The trouble is. most of what I find is the first verse in Hebrew and then some awful English lyrics that sound forced to fit the tune. I would like to find a version that has all the Hebrew verses and preferably no English. Can anyone recommend a CD?

I don't have a Jewsih bookstore in anchorage, although I will be visiting NYC in a few months. The problem is, I din't know what verses are on it or whatever, until I've bought it and listened to it.

Just wanted to say that my spelling is not as bed as it looks above. My typing, however, is. (Why don't they offer spellcheck for the questions?)

Answer 1

Everything everyone's said until now is great:

http://www.mostlymusic.com
http://www.jewishjukebox.com

Miami Boys' Choir "Light up the Nights" (it's their own tune, but it's very nice)

Another interesting alternative would be to listen to http://www.jewishbroadcast.com and wait until it comes up :)

If you're going to NYC, thought, that opens you up tremendously. Check these out when you're there (This is by no means a complete listing):

Mostly Music- 4815 13th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11219;
Eichlers- 1401 Coney Island Avenue (Between Avenues J& K) Brooklyn, NY 11230;

Manhattan Judaica- 62 West 45th Street, New York, NY 10036

Answer 2

I wish I knew! I'd love to have just such a CD!

I used to sing all the verses with my dad, when I was a kid, but haven't in over 20 years.

Now, I only sing one verse every night.

I can read hebrew, but it's not the same as hearing how the words scan to the music.

If anyone knows of a CD with all the verses, I'd love to know as well!!!

Answer 3

I checked out two Hanukkah CDs from my local library, both with Maoz Tsur on it...one has the song in English & Hebrew, the in Hebrew & English within the song.
One is called Chanukkah at Home, the other chanukkah-Jewish experience.
good luck!

Answer 4

You could preview these two CDs. They have Maoz Tsur on it, not sure which track though.
(These 2 CDs are both in Hebrew, but with a Yiddish dialect)
