Traditional
Hanukkah.
S'vivon
(se-vi-vohn) is the
Hebrew word for dreidl, a
four-sided top that is
popular with children
during the celebration of
the Jewish holiday
Hanukkah, the Festival of
Lights. In this
arrangement by Brendan
McBrien, variations are
created through the
subtle use of motivic
rhythms from within the
melody, presenting the
theme in different voices
and keys in both arco and
pizzicato, using the A
section of the tune as an
accompaniment for the B
section, and, finally,
changing the modality to
major, which creates (for
a short time) a very
different feeling from
the traditional minor
setting. (2:50).
