This setting in Hebrew of the most famous traditional Chanukah text is based on an original melody and is not an arrangement of a preexisting one. The piece begins with a boisterous melody and contrapuntal writing in shifting meters. The middle section features slower, more staid, chorale-like music, dominated by a tenor solo. The closing section recalls the music of the opening. Duration: 2:25
