We sing music from all over the Jewish world.
Some of our arrangements come from other sources,
and some are our own.
We are proud of the diversity of our repertoire,
which spans five languages,
and musical styles from the simple and sweet
to a wonderful melody in twenty-seven beats with vocal percussion.
The following list is not complete.
It does not yet include some of our simple,
traditional (and nontraditional) holiday songs.
(This list is just about entirely out of date.)

Sing Softly and Carry a Big Schtick
These songs aren't the only thing Techiya performs.
We sometimes spice up our programs with some comedic schtick.
Of course, we often use a shofar (ram's horn) in our performances too.
