Re: Zionist songs by Leonard Bernstein?

[CantorJ <CantorJ...>]

Bill,
Leonard Bernstein created an arrangement of "Simchu Na," which is an Israeli 
folk song, for SATB and Piano, he may also have done other arrangements.  
Kurt Weill arranged "Havu Levanim," a chalutz building song.  I think that 
Milhaud arranged the song, "Tel Aviv," which has the same melody as 
"Bamidbar, y'sa-uni al dabashot g''malim."  The latter two songs were 
published years ago (I have them in my office, but not at home); the choral 
arrangement was published by the New York BJE (also years ago).  
Bernstein also composed liturgical music.  A setting of Hashkivenu and a 
melody for Yigdal.  For that matter, Weill was commissioned to compose a 
Kiddush.  And Milhaud composed an entire liturgical service for Shabbat 
morning.
Hope this helps.
