RE: Four Quesions on Am Yisroel Chai

[Gavriel Bellino <gavbellino...>]

Are you saying that the same tune appears in Scott's work? 

As I wrote before: There were tunes for these words as early as 1920.
Perhaps earlier.

Well since Raymond Scott's 'Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals'
dates from 1937 and has the same theme let's just assume that Reb Shlomo
picked it up subconsciously.

Shlomo Carlebach wrote the popular melody in the 60's when the leaders
of the Soviet Jewry Movement (Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry) came to
him and asked him to compose an anthem.  This can be verified by Avi
Weisz of the Hebrew Institute of Rivendale who spoke at Shlomo's levaya
and mentiioned the nigun.  It appears on the I Heard the Wall Singing
recording of the 1960's.  And I have that recording in my collection.
