https://youtu.be/kL6UeJB4abA?si=6z2n44pgks3vXz9n# Yehe Shemeh - Arbit Shalosh Regalim | LondonThe present recording is of a rendition of Yehe Shemeh sung before Barechu during the Arbit of the Shalosh Regalim. The melody is unique to the London Spanish and Portuguese congregation with no counterparts elsewhere in the western Sephardi diaspora.This composition took on an expanded role in the middle of the 20th century at the initiative of the late Sir Alan Mocatta, who applied it as a setting for Yimlokh Hashem Le’olam on festivals and special Shabbatot. This sort of melodic adaptation is, of course, nothing new. The history of Jewish liturgical music is filled with cases of melodies that started life in one function and later found themselves conscripted for another. What is unusual is that in this case we know when and by whom it was done.Please like and share.
