Thread Name: Songs to the John Brown/Battle Hymn tune
Subject: RE: Songs to the John·Brown/Battle·Hymn tune
Another song to this tune, from quite a different tradition: one of the several tunes used for setting of Hebrew words at beginning of verse in Psalm 133,"Hineh mah tov u-mah nayim shevet achim gam yahad [Behold how good and pleasant is a band of brothers all together]", popular among Jewish youth movements in mid C20. Only the chorus of JBB, the Glory Hallelujah bit, used - first 5 words 3x, then final line.
