Re: Hungarian Jewish tradition?

[Steve Weintraub <dancinsteve...>]

As Lori posted, I heard it chanted, like a nursery rhyme.
 Jack Falk on this list was nice enough to send me a recording of someone
reciting a similiar rhyme, I could send it to you if you liked.

Re: other Hungarian Jewish music- my grandfather used to sing two very
catchy and czardas-like tunes during seder- one for Adir Hu (pronounced Ader
Hee) and another to Hodu L'adomai Ki tTov.  The tunes seem pretty specific
to Munkac, no one else recognized them except my Munkac correspondant, who
sang along with me on them.
Cookie Seigelstein, on this list, has a family from a nearby region in
Hungary, she might also be a good source for Hugarian Jewish music
resources.

You posted this.

 Was it said or sung?
Any more idea about Hungarian Jewish tradition?
