[HANASHIR:11345] hatikvah & the Ma Tovu round

[erik contzius <contzius...>]

The most widely arrangement of the piece is the
setting arranged by Israeli composer, Paul Ben-Haim.
Probably the best, as well.

As far as the round "Ma Tovu" is concerned (the one
that starts: RE DO RE in RE mol), it's "Hey ho, nobody
home, No Meat nor drink nor money have I none, Still I
will be merry!" Now, where is THAT from, no clue. But
if you want one notation, you can find it in Rise Up
Singing, page 189.

I have also seen the Hava Nashira attributed to Haydn,
but who knows?

Is Judah Cohen out there? Can he take this one and run
with it?
