Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Yiddish songs From: GUEST,Dov Levi Date: 01 Jul 10 - 09:34 AM Not quite lyrics, but I am looking for musical arrangements of the standard Yiddish favoourites - we are a keyboard, clarinet, fiddle, bass. If anyone could help with music or suggest a website/source, I would be very grateful. I have quite a lot of the stock klezmer repetoire arrangements (downloaded from web - no copyright issues ) I could help with if anyone is interested. |

Subject: ADD: Oy Mayn Kapele From: Joe Offer Date: 24 May 13 - 07:56 PM My friend Elaine justaposes verses sings this as "Oy Mayn Kepele," which is what I prefer - but it seems that the usual custom is to lead with the belly.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: Yiddish songs From: Joe Offer Date: 15 Jul 17 - 05:14 AM Hi, Fred - It's "Min Mames Shabes Licht" (I'd spell it "Mayn Mames Shabes Likht"). Here's a recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crI_fvYa1xI. Here's a transcription of the lyrics. -Joe- Mayn mames shabes likht[My mother's Shabbat candles] by Jack Yellen [See lecture: Shabbat]

Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: Yiddish songs From: GUEST Date: 22 Oct 17 - 07:53 PM I need the sheet music for piano and voice of "Ich hob dich zufiel lieb" Thank you |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req/Add: Yiddish songs From: Joe Offer Date: 22 Oct 17 - 10:31 PM Boy, I wish I could help with your request for "Ikh hob dikh tsufil lib." I have a lot of Yiddish songbooks, but most of the songs come from before or during World War II - and none have both piano and vocal notation. This song is from 1934, but I still don't have it. I swear that the Barry Sisters sing "Ikh hob dir tsufil lib," which doesn't sound grammatically correct to me. Were the Barry Sisters Yiddish speakers, or did they just sing what was on the sheet music? I wonder if there is a good source of sheet music for Yiddish pop songs - anybody know of one? I'll keep looking, but my preliminary search didn't find the song. -Joe- I found this listing (click) for the song at a Website at the Freedman Catalogue at the University of Pennsylvania:
