Re: a project for list members....

[Francesco Spagnolo <yuval.italia...>]

For an Italian-Sephardi version of "Yehi shalom becheilenu", you may 
refer to track no. 37 of the Cd "Italian Jewish Musical Traditions", 
issued by the Hebrew University together with the Italian Nat'l Music 
Academy.

The CD is still available on line, I believe. (Simon?)

This particular version was recorded in Trieste in the 1950's, and 
probably originates from the Corfu.

Tracks 38 and 39 of the Cd are also related to circumcision and birth 
(of a male son):

* Bar Yochai, text by Shimon b. Lavi (15th cent.), as sung in Rome 
during a ceremony known as "mishmarah" (a night of prayers and songs 
preceding a brit milah -- much to be said about the ceremony, but 
perhaps some other time...). Whether the specific tradition is 
"Italian" or "Sephardic", well, this also could be discussed 
endlessly...

* Arze levanon yifrachu, text by Shmuel Archivolti (16-17th cent.), 
in the Italian (this time, for sure) tradition of Padua.

Enjoy!

Francesco
