Hear the beautiful cantorial music by Avraham Fried for Rosh Hashanah here

Page with more info (all in Hebrew):

Excerpt from the middle of the music.
The words are in the Machor/Prayer books for the occasion
B' Rosh HaShannah Tikatevu U'B'Yom Kippur Tichatemu
On Rosh HaShannah it is inscribed and on Yom Kippur it is sealed etc..
who will live, who will die and how etc... who will be ok, and who will not...etc and Tshuvah/repentance, Tefillah/prayer and Tzdakah/charity averts the decree...

Hashem created the cure before the disease

....Tshuvah means that one regrets what one has done, asks forgiveness from Hashem and the person(s) he hurt as well as restores the person and repairs the damage if it can be repair, all the while making sure to never transgress again by keeping the laws and always having Hashem, the One and only, in mind in all dealings.
