Ahz der Rebbe Elimelech by Willem Verkaik — Lyrics
Ahz der Rebbe Elimelech iz gevorn zeir freilach,
iz gevorn ze ir freilach Elimelech,
Hot er opgemacht Havdole mit dem shames Reb Naftole,
Un geshikt noch di fidler di tzvei.
Un az di fidldike fidler hobn fidldik gefidlt,
Hobn fidldik gefidlt, hobn zei.

About Ahz der Rebbe Elimelech
This arrangement of a Yiddish folk song, Ahz der Rebbe Elimelech, by Willem Verkaik, is for SATB choir. The text describes the joy of Rabbi Elimelech, who, in his delight, performs the Havdalah ceremony and calls for musicians. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of celebration, with fiddlers playing and the Rabbi changing his attire, suggesting a lively and spirited atmosphere. The music likely captures this folk-like exuberance, making it an engaging piece for secular choirs looking for a culturally rich and uplifting addition to their repertoire.
