O, ir kleyne likhtelekh

[Lori M Simon <lorelecs...>]

Anyone know the composer of the most common tune for O, ir kleyne
likhtelekh, whose author is Morris Rosenfeld?

O, ir kley_ne likh-te-lekh    Ir der-tseylt_ ge-shikh-te-lekh 
May-se-lekh   on_    a   tzol
A  A A F G    A  D   A      G  G   G D    E     F     G   A      C    B  
 A   G#E   G#  A
4   8  8 8  8    4   8   4.5     4   8   8  8     8    4      8  4.5     
8    8     8    8  8    8     2

It is usually attributed as a folk song, folk motif or traditional, but
in the 1927? edition of Goldfarb's Jewish Songster it gives Sonia
Cheifetz as the composer, although she has a B section I have not seen
elsewhere.

Another version, appearing in books that are 15 or 20 years earlier, that
seemed very popular was a tune by Leo Lyov (or Lov).  As a matter of
fact, it seems to be the only tune in the earlist books I have.

Does anyone have any other information?

Thanks,
Lorele
