Talk:Kol Nidre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Any chance we can get a midi or ogg file of this? maybe someone can record it next yom kipur and ask the cantor if he minds releasing it under a free lisence?
Sorry, no tape recorders in shul on Yom Kippur. Though in theory we could ask the cantor to sing it when it's not Yom Kippur, just so we could post it on here. I'm not going to do it right now though, my cantor's very busy. (My rabbi's leaving, long story...) Smartyshoe 11:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Disambiguation
The Electric Prunes album Release of An Oath was, when it was new, more commonly referred to as the Kol Nidre, after the title of its first track. This first track is the most distinctive liturgical element of the work. Obviously it's not the same prayer, in fact I'm very interested in finding out exactly what the relationship is, but some form of disambiguation is called for IMO. See also Talk:Release of An Oath.

- Perhaps you could list it with the cultural influences further down the article, together with Max Bruch. I would not put a disambig notice at the top. JFW | T@lk 21:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

- It's tricky. People will come here looking for the album, and may not scroll down to cultural references, but more to the point they shouldn't need to scroll down, as it's an obvious disambig. On the other hand, I can see how Jewish people might be offended by giving space for a rock 'n' roll album with a tenuous (prehaps even offensive) connection to Judaism at the top of this article.

- It's also a very significant album. I'll add the link you suggest. Andrewa 21:40, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

- One possibility that occurs to me is to create a disambiguation page at Kol Nidre (disambiguation), to disambiguate between the album and this article. We wouldn't normally have a disambiguation page with only two entries, just a link from the top of the main article to the other one, but this seems to be a special case. The other possibility is if I can find enough material to justify an article at Kol Nidre (Christianity) or something similar, in which case a disambiguation page would make perfect sense.

- I can find no reference to use of any prayer called Kol Nidre in a Christian context prior to Release of An Oath. At the risk of arguing from silence, possibly the synthesis is original to composer/producer David Axelrod. Andrewa 00:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

- Hmmm, I was forgetting the Kol Nidre (Bruch) article. So we already have a three-way disambiguation. Is there any objection now to discretely linking to Kol Nidre (disambiguation) from the top of this page, as is our normal practice? Andrewa 00:20, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
