Hanerot Halalu (Vocal) by Sarah Riskind published on 2022-05-30T20:21:11Z In 2016, I set out to create a Hanukkah songbook for my family. After arranging eight of our favorite traditional songs, I composed my own canon on a whim. It was originally paired with my original setting of Mi Y’malel as a set entitled Ancient Miracles. Now that six years have passed, along with most of a pandemic (which vastly impacted music-making everywhere), I have heard Hanerot Halalu in many forms: a straightforward choral canon, a multi-track violin solo, a reimagined version sung by Roomful of Teeth, and more. The 2022 edition available at www.sarahriskind.com provides an assortment of arrangements that can serve as a jumping-off point for further creativity: Original canon melody (B tonic), with chord suggestions (as in all versions) Original canon melody (C tonic) Solfège version (C tonic) (provided as a learning tool) Solfège only version without a five-line staff (provided as a learning tool) Solfège exercises to acclimate singers to the mode SSA a cappella arrangement (C tonic) (most material derived from canon) (with optional improvisation section) TBB a cappella arrangement (C# tonic) (most material derived from canon) (with optional improvisation section) SAB a cappella arrangement (C tonic) (most material derived from canon) (with optional improvisation section) Genre Classical
