https://youtu.be/39KftMfWCts# Atanu Lechalot Panecha | LondonTwo stanzas of this ancient Piyyut have survived in the Sephardi rite and are sung during the penitential prayers (Selichot) on the days leading up to Yom Kippur, and on Yom Kippur itself as an introduction to the Hazzan’s repetition of the Amidah in Musaf and Ne'ilah.Among the Edot Hamizrach and many communities of North African provenance this Piyyut is also sung on Rosh Hashanah. It is absent, however, from the New Year liturgy in the Spanish and Portuguese diaspora, possibly because of the references to ‘Selichah’ and ‘Kaparah’ concepts which are not felt to be appropriate to Yom Tov.The core melody is known throughout the Sephardi world, evidence of its undoubted antiquity. The present recording, inspired by an arrangement by Raymond Goldstein, is based on the London variant with some slight modifications to the time signature.This video is one of over 30 on my Selichot and Yamim Hanora’im playlist which you can find here.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvd3h2QBHjxRC5cGNlE_frXW2TGPzsIRqתזכו לשנים רבות נעימות וטובותתחל שנה וברכותיה
