Re: Aleynu -- and the Bismark

[Sheldon Levin <slevin...>]

The melody sounds like the Intsy Wintsy Spider to me and I hate hearing 
in a prayer service.  There is a much nicer meoldy, based on simple 
chanting, which was composed by Pinchas Spiro and is used successfully in 
many synagogues, schools and camps. You can get that melody from the 
Weekday Musical Siddur by Pinchas SPiro from the Cantor's Assembly,
