author citation

[Stahl, Sheryl <SFStahl...>]

A patron of ours is looking for the author of a poem "Mekhorati"  It was
apparently used as the lyrics to a folksong popular in the 40's and 50's.
It was included in a collection entitled _Songs of Zion_ /ed. Harry
Coopersmith (Behrman House, 1948), but did not credit an author.

The words are:
Mekhorati nof moladeti
Sheon galim bayam
Ve-tsel harim saviv, saviv
Kol tanim babar
Heah moledet moladeti
Hurshat kanim namah
Ve-kol halil ba-hatsot halil
Midbar harim uv-ruah

If anyone has information about the author or added verses, we would
appreciate it!

> Dear Friends,
> 
> On Thursday, December 23, 1999, at 8pm, David Broza will return to New
> York 
> City's Town Hall after a one year absence due to a near-fatal car accident
> 
> in Israel. He will perform songs featured on his newly released album 
> "Masada 1999", recorded live earlier this year. This triumphant return has
> 
> already generated excitement and anticipation among Jewish and non-Jewish 
> concert goers.
> 
> The annual David Broza New York winter concert has become a much
> anticipated 
> feature of the holiday season for New Yorkers who know and love this
> amazing 
> Israeli pop star. The concerts, which feature Broza's virtuoso guitar 
> playing, dynamic song stylings and charismatic physical presence, appeal
> to 
> a broad cross-section of American Jewish music lovers.
> 
> Broza's music has been described as Flamenco-tinged folk rock melodies
> which 
> "breathe musical life into sensual snippets of poetry."  The 40-year-old 
> singer has made a mission of studying the work of American writers for the
> 
> past several years, always reading with a melody in mind.  "My interest in
> 
> poetry stems from my youth in Spain under the Franco regime when poetry,
> as 
> well as other performing arts, was used as a form of protest," explains 
> Broza.  "This experience taught me about the strength of poetry, and many
> of 
> my songs are adaptations of poems."
> 
> Broza was born in Haifa to an Israeli/British businessman and a folk
> singer. 
>   He was raised in Spain and England.  Originally planning on a career as
> a 
> graphic artist, Broza's interest turned to music while serving in the 
> Israeli army.  He played guitar in cafes to earn extra money and was 
> eventually discovered and offered a record deal.
