Re: Anybody know this song???

[Ryna Kedar - Mekatleget for music lib. <ryna_k...>]

This song is called 'Midinat Yisra'el'. Words by Sh. Shalom and music by
Moshe Bick.

Correction in first verse: le'ami hanoded, not l'ameinu.

Further verses:

Bach yakum dor chadash
Bach yanuv hamidbar.
Kol sadeh bach mikdash
La'oved hayashar.

At tis'ee veramah
Besorah la'amim:
Mitru'at milchamah
li'shlom olamim.

At kinor kol rinah
At mishkan kol go'el,
Midinah, midinah,
Midinat Yisra'el.

My colleague found this in a collection of songs by Moshe Bick called
'Selected Choral Songs' (Shirei makhelah nivcharim), Ed. by Shlomo Kaplan
for 4 part chorus. Published by the Education and Culture Centre of the
General Federation of Labour-Histadrut, Tel-Aviv, 1971.

Moshe Bick was born in 1899 and has since passed away but I don't have a
date for that. We do have another song book in the library that was
published in honor of his 80th birthday.

Hope this information is what you were looking for!
