Hi folks,
I haven't followed this whole thread,
but has anyone mentioned that the
melody most often used for the main
part of Birkat HaMazon did not come
down from Mt. Sinai with Moses, but
was actually composed by Moshe
Nathanson (along with several other
so-called "folk tunes")?
I am curious about the sources of some
of the musical variations which have crept
in over the years in the different movements.
There seem to be at least two if not three
ways to sing several of the "tunes" now.
Any info out there about this?
