Greetings fellow oud maniacs,
I am trying to find the origins of the attached melody. I have been told that it may be of Ottoman origin. To my ears, it sounds a bit "juvenile,"
like a nursery rhyme.
Does anybody know anything about it?
I know the melody because, in the "Yerushalmi" (Jerusalem Jewish) tradition we sing the 150th Psalm to this melody.
I have not been able to find full example of this on-line, but you can hear a sample here: http://www.amazon.com/Tuning-Soul-Worlds-Jewish-Sacred/dp/B000QQW5L... (Track #15) (Yours truly on oud...a long time ago!)
Sorry for the sloppy manuscript!
Teşekkürler/شكراً/תודה/ممنون
"Udi" John
