Some information that does not seem to be covered anywhere yet. In 1963 Mills Music published 'Don, dona' in a version for SATB. This says the music is by Dholom Secunda, the words by Aaron Zeitlin and the English translation by Sheldon Secunda. (The English is quite different from the Kevess and Schwarz version. It does not actually nclude the Yiddish text. Mills Music also give 'copyright 1940'. This version is much simpler than the Joan Baez version, consisting almost entire of straight quarter notes.
I have been asked to produce an authentic version of this song for the English Music examination board (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music) and since this song has been chosen for the beginners' grade (Grade 1) I would think the simple version the best, if I can authenticate it.
Is the Metro Music version of 1943 available? Or would the Mlotek source be best - if I can lay hands on it!

Thanks
