SKU: AP.48872

Arranged by Andrew Parr. This edition: SoundTrax CD. Choral Octavo; Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Chanukah; Folk; Jewish Heritage; Sacred; Traditional. CD. Alfred Music #00-48872. Published by Alfred Music (AP.48872).

UPC: 038081561967. English. Traditional Hebrew Folk Song.

An optional clarinet adds a festive flourish to this traditional Hebrew folk song arranged expressly for 3-part mixed singers. This specifically targeted voicing pays close attention to the most appropriate range and tessitura for developing voices, especially the guys. Four short lines comprise an entirely Hebrew text that celebrates the miracle of Hanukkah and the spinning dreidel (a pronunciation guide is included). S'vivon sov, sov, sov means Dreidel turn, turn, turn. Excitement abounds throughout, especially when a surprise slower section accelerates back to the first lively tempo, and then even faster for the final phrase.

The instrumentation includes fiddles and accordions, brass bands and bagpipes, cimbaloms and utogaardons, jew's-harps and hurdy-gurdies, with vocals that range from the sensual to the sublime.
