Israel Najara about redemption and the messianic era could be interpreted by Sabbateans as predicting the imminent arrival of the messiah. One of these poems, Iggale kevod malkhutekha, actually became a hymn of the followers of Sabbatai Ẕevi, as already noticed by Gershom Sholem.The present article treats the wide diffusion of this song since the seventeenth century, focusing on new evidence concerning its musical performance in Salonika, Amsterdam, London, Italy and Morocco. The musical sources presented in the article include literary evidence, printed musical notations and oral traditions. After a review of the different musical treatments that this sacred poem received, an attempt is made to find structural links between the melodies and to interpret these links in a historical context.http://ow.ly/RmiaE
