Hava Nagila
(Let us rejoice) was written in 1917 in Jerusalem by Avraham Zvi Idelssohn,
considered to be the father of Israeli music. Idelssohn's research into the
music cultures of the different Jewish communities of Jerusalem laid the
foundation for the growth of a unique melding of east and west that is the
Israeli musical style.

Hevenu Shalom
Aleichem (We brought you peace) was first
published in 1910 by the musicologist Franz Haverel, as a Turkish
folk melody Sala'am Aleikum. It came to Palestine in the same year, as
an advertisement for Turkish cigarettes; the tune was printed on the package.

Hayu Leilot
(There were nights) was written by Mordecai Zeira in 1938
to a poem by Yaakov Orland. Though this song is little known outside of Israel
today, it is one of my favorites, and I hope will become one of yours as well.
You are also welcome to try some of
my other arrangements. In addition to the songs offered on this site (you can
see them at http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/search?Ntt=Yoel+Epstein
), I have arranged three songs from the Holocaust, which I arranged and
distribute for free on IMSLP. You can find them at http://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Ravpapa.
If you need arrangements of any of these songs for special
combinations of instruments, feel free to contact me,
and I will try to accommodate. Write me at yoelepst@gmail.com. Hope you enjoy.
