[HANASHIR:4874] Re: hatikvah

[jerd <jerd...>]

Janeen,

You do know that a major part of the melody of Hatikvah was taken from 
Smetana's 
Moldau .  The Moldau is the 2nd of 6 symphonic poems written by Smetana around 
1872.  
The entire cycle of 6 poems is titled Ma Vlast and the second movement was 
called Vltava -- 
the name of a river which in German is called the Moldau.  The melody which is 
the 
predominant theme in this movement is based on an old Czech folk song.  This 
folk melody is 
what Hatikvah was based on.

I'm wondering now what the correct attribution is ... but what I really need to 
know is when it 
was scored ... where's Judah when we need him?
