Re: Ginzburg/Marek and Engel

Apparently Meir Noy had prepared a book of melodies for the songs of 
Ginzburg/Marek but I don't know what happened to the project after 
his death. Write to his brother Prof. Dov Noy.

On the songs you ask for, I can add quickly:

for songs 34, 35, 36 - these are the traditional openings for a Purim 
Shpil. Check the new volume of Purim Shpiln by Beregovsky. Kiev 1931.

#37 - see Kotilyansky song #9  That's the only one I know with music; 
other collections have variants with words - for example Olsvanger's 
first collection, 1920, Basel.

#39 , #40 - Michael Alpert sings a variant of this on the first 
Kapelye LP. I think Adreinne Cooper recorded it too on her cassette. 
A version also in Olsvanger, 1920.

i am sure i am leaving other references out that others should add.
