Ki Eshmera Shabbat (Rasd Dil) w/Shavat Aniyim - כי אשמרה שבת (רצד דיל) עם ראו בנים
Parashat Vayehi marks the end of the Book of Bereshit. The poets of Morocco used this opportunity to create some of the nicest tunes our Bakashot has to offer. The hymns associated with Vayehi are well known even to the beginner. Their sweet melodies are used time and time again throughout the year because they are easy to learn and fit well with the Tefila. This tune of Ki Eshmera Shabbat was taken from the original song Tuvu Lilah Ya Nas which I've included in a picture below. In this recording I sing the piyut and adapt it to Shavat Aniyim. It fits well with: Lecha Dodi El Adon Adon Olam Yidgal La'el Baruch Rau Banim....or any other quatrain song. The maqam of this song as well as with most piyutim from Bakashot Parashat Vayehi is Rasd Dil.
better? no! almost as good. "nicest in the world" agreed! a close second would be Damascus Syrian, (note the kids zeal :-) ) must have been some 30 or so, years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yr-HBKmc7LQ מפי מפי עוללים ויונקים יסדת עוז

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Thanks for sharing. I love hearing children recite words of Torah or piyutim. Hazak!

ReplyDeleteYours is certainly beautiful by the way. You have a wonderful voice.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words. I love Moshe Habousha. Such a clear voice and every syllable pronounced perfectly. Thank you for sharing.
DeleteAnd that's the Iraqi way, not the Syrian way which I know he is well familiar with. I was fortunate enough to hear Habusha pray arbith in Brooklyn back in April.
