My friend Mrs. Lev sent my request to somebody, who posted it on the Jewish Music List. Here's the most significant response:

from Lori Cahan-Simon:
The song "Lomir ale freylekh zayn", aka "Sholem lid", has been recorded a number of times by people such as Martha Schlamme and Betty Klein. The first song on my Chanukah is Freylekh CD, "Khanike iz freylekh", uses this same melody, possibly written by Yosef Shrogin, a composer connected with the Los Angeles Secular Community. Alternately, a former Camp Hemshekh attendee remembers that song being introduced by music teacher/composer Ben-Yomen. It can be found on p. 117 of the Kinderbuch publication Lomirkinder zingen/Let's Sing a Yiddish Song. This melody is also similar to "Barikadn", pp. 84-85 in Songs of Generations/Lider fun dor tsu dor, the third book of the Mlotek's series, available at the Jewish Bookstore of theWorkmen's Circle in NYC and probably from the National Yiddish Book Center'sbookstore. Here are the lyrics as I have them:


Lomir ale freylekh zayn, *Let us all rejoice,*
Lomir ale zingen. *Let us all sing.*
Lomir ale freylekh zayn, *Let us all rejoice*
Lomir ale zingen. *Let us all sing.*
Zingen far sholem, *Sing for peace*,
Zingen far broyt, *Sing for bread.*
Boyen a morgn *Build a future*
On has un on noyt. *Without hate or need.*
Zingen far sholem, *Sing for peace,*
Zingen far broyt, *Sing for bread*
Boyen a morgn fun sholem, *Build a future of peace,*
Boyen a morgn fun sholem, *Build a future of peace.*

Not as complete an answer as I was hoping for, but a darn good start. Thanks, Leyele and Andy and Mrs. Lev!
