Was googling the New York Jewish musician Matus Lichtenstein (c.1865–1940) whose name came up in my research and I found this 1928 recording I'd never heard before by his Matus Lichtenstein's Kunst Orkester. Interesting. Sort of #klezmer, sort of #Hasidic #nigunim played in a mainstream orchestral style.

Posted on fb by Binyomin Ginzberg - a #Chassidic #nigun printed to be read from right to left🧐 his note: "This example is from Geshuri's 'LaChasidim Mizmor'."

not unheard of I think but not common either -- my friend and I were trying to prepare a zoom lecture during early covid and looked for an example like this and couldn't find one at the time.

This just crossed our Facebook timeline, very cool upcoming album of women singing Chabad nigunim (give the preview a listen!!)

A traditional #nigun, allegedly, and also a test of how video works on Mastodon, because I honestly have no idea. Members of #mazeldon will no doubt see what I did here.
