So, Charles mailed me a photocopy of the tune from the Ginn & Co. We Sing and Harmonize songbook, and I've transcribed it. The tune is described in the songbook as a "Palestinian Round." I've always seen this tune identified as a "Hebrew round."

Now, the $64,000 question* is, what is the Hebrew name this round is more commonly known by? Next question: could it be that this tune has Palestinian, rather than Hebrew roots?

*This is a really easy question, but I will pay the first person who answers correctly, the grand total of 64 cents.
