The music is a mix of tunes from an obscure album by a band called the 
Minzer-Chord orchestra, which recorded in the late 1960's the music of Yaakov 
Spivak. The tunes are mostly in a kind of Chasidic march style. In the last few 
years, some songs of Shmuel Brazil and a few others have snuck in. What makes 
this job interesting is the fact that we will sit on one song for a very long 
time, and the Yeshiva guys whip themselves into a frenzy, dancing in front of 
the Rosh Yeshiva. It's good to see once, for sure.
