JMR, "Anniversary Song" is difficult to explain to people. It has been given those familiar lyrics, and is often believed to be a "Jewish" piece, but it is in reality a waltz composed in the late 1800's by a Romanian composer named Victor Ivanovici, who said that the rhytms of the piece symbolizes the ebb and flow of the waves of the Danube, in his homeland.
