Re: en keloheynu



   This tune was indeed composed by Freudenthal, and has
   nothing to do with drinking songs, whether German or
   not.


I haven't had a chance yet to check out Sam Weiss's I'm sure knowledgeable
discourse about "Ein Kelokeinu," but fwiw, Macy Nulman says of
Freudenthal's tune that it was "derived from a German melody, "Grosser Gott
wir loben a Dich" and that it was "revised several times until [assuming]
its present form."
