Hatikvah melody

[Robert Cohen <rlcm17...>]

Bob Wiener mentioned, in a post a few weeks ago, having "heard another tune 
in concert"--i.e., aside from the traditional one we know--to "Hatikvah."  
I've been meaning to mention that it was, perhaps, the melody composed by 
David Burger, which has been recorded by the Zamir Chorale of Boston and I 
think by the original (New York) Zamir Chorale as well.  Burger was a 
partner with Mati Lazar (once of the Zamir Chorale) in the marvelous Jewish 
music group Tayku, in the 70s.

Bob, can you confirm if that's the other melody you heard?  If it wasn't, 
and you still have the program, I'd very much like to know who else has 
written a melody for Hatikvah (or Tikvateinu, as the Imber poem was 
originally called).
