I'm trying to find a song or poem called "Shir La'Melech". There's a tune taken from there, but I don't know the original words...

Google says nothing.

I'm guessing you're talking about "v'Ata Banim"??

You'd probably get more responses on this kind of thing faster if you posted on the other side. [Smile]

shir hamalos? Never heard of a song of hamelech. So many songs you never know. (I'm Jewish)

Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :

I think reader is correct, although it's not a song I know well, by any name.

*wonders what Hatack is*

Posted by Haloed Silhouette (Member # 8062) on :

Sid - I'm pretty bad with notes, but I love the tune.

*Sings it - assuming "it" is the correct tune - for "Mechalkel Chayim Be'Chessed".*

Oops, KQ! I wanted to post it on Otherside(R), and got it wrong.

rivka - [sings]
I just heard it last Saturday (by name),
Though I knew the tune from long ago:
I just heard, just heard the name last Sa-a-turday,
But the tune - was so familiar!
[/sings]

I don't know what Hatack is either, kaioshin<toilet>.

is rivka a good singer? I know I'm a horrible one, now as for jewish songs/poems/passages in the Torah I must say I really like how its kinda songlike and I like them they all have a nice solemn toon to it.

What do you mean, that you like the cantillation tune? If so, then you HAVE to come over hear and hear people at my synagogue read (hopfully me too).

Apparently, last time I did Hazzanut I was very successful - good choice of tunes for the congregation (apparently), and that morning I also did some reading which a different congregation liked; but the second congregation of the two (reading) won't let me do Hazzanut, nor will the first one (except for "Teen Shabatot").

And it's just their "policy", despite the fact that both are theoretically "pluralist". *Groan*, and forget kids at my school, they're a hopless case - try a single new une at Hallel and they're off with a different one.

Which brings up the question of the location of the fanbase.
