Unknown song

[Portent]

I was just wondering if just someone know, how this song is called or maybe even have sheet ?
Or maybe just know some songs like this ?

 

[Glenn]

Don't know the song but a nice, vibrant performance. Thanks for pointing it out .

 

[Stephen Hawkins]

Don't know the tune, but the Violinist is cute.

I think the title of the tune is in the title of the video.... Meron.

Meron Tune, Shaffer's Nign, or Devotedly Buoyant at Abos, take your pick.

Their version is unusually fast and flashy. I think it's overdone.

And it's a klezmer tune; a dance-speed version of a "nign", which is a wordless prayer-song from the Hasidic Jews of Eastern Europe, speeded up to become a dance. But not as fast a dance as that duo plays it. Meron is a place now in Israel which (for reasons going back 2000 years or more) is associated with a somewhat mysterious fire festival that particularly features on the Hasidic calendar. I would guess that this tune is used at that event. (Fire festivals feature all over the Middle East under the stewardship of several different religions, and my guess is that this one predates Abraham by a long way, despite what most Jews believe about it).

I can't find a YouTube of that tune that I actually like. Di Naye Kapelye did it, and theirs will probably be good, but I can't view their video from the UK.

I have notation for lots more klezmer tunes.

And a very unexpected version of it, on a reconstructed kinnor, the ancient Jewish lyre:

It would be nice to occasionally get an acknowledgement when you spend a significant amount of time answering somebody's question.

 

[JerryPH]

Its sincerely nice that you went through all that work to help answer someone's question, and it used to irk me when I did the same on other sites that I am a member of, but I realized my attitude was wrong. I don't post anymore with expectations of acknowledgement or thanks. We don't know what this other person's life is like, they just simply may be busy or unable to visit or in the middle of a personal crisis... and here we are a bit incensed that they cannot at least post a 1 word acknowlegement.

Patience friend, and if no thanks comes along, just move on to the next thread and continue using the forum.

 

[Stephen Hawkins]

Jack,

Your efforts have not gone unnoticed, and I feel sure that all those who have read your contribution will appreciate what you have tried to do.

Whilst I fervently agree that acknowledgement is certainly due to you, there may well be some innocent explanation for its absence on this occasion.

Stephen Hawkins.

The reason might be that this person only posted 1 post and has never been to the site before and may not be back?....

But yes, it is nice to get acknowledgement hahaha I have the same problem at my work! Lack of acknowledgement...

I've been guilty of it to on this site though :-0
