How come that our melodies of the high holidays are much more similar to the oriental melodies, compared to our melodies for other days and festivals throughout the year. Whether it’s the Yede rashim melody, the selichot melodies, shemang koli, nget shangare ratson, etc. etc.(Forget the relatively recent introduction of the adon haselihot melody)For example Ana bekorenu: Virtually identical.https://chazzanut-esnoga.org/high_festivals/YK-kal_nidre/NN-29%20Kipoer%20-Selichot-Ana%20Bekorenoe.mp3 https://youtu.be/7sl16SoPiUM
