Scarborough Fair

[steves <steves...>]

I have been asked by an Israeli composer, to ask whether anyone on the 
list knows about a connection between Art Garfunkel's song, Scarborough 
Fair and any Jewish tune. It seems that with a bit of musical license, 
the very popular tune for Adon Olam (Adon Olam 28 on my site:

 http://members.tripod.com/%7EAnimzmirot/midis.html   )
is similar and someone heard that Garfunkel based his tune on a melody 
his father brought home from shul.

Regarding this Adon Olam tune, does anyone know the origins?

Does anyone know of a tune of any kind that is connected with the Kabbalah?

Thanks

Stephen Simpson
