Luckily, someone reminded me that Chanukah starts tonight at sundown, otherwise I might have missed the first few days. I was thinking for some reason that the end date of Hannukah was the beginning this year. Not sure why. I am always excited to find Chanukkah records to share here at the blog, since I know not everyone celebrates Christmas. I found this one sealed on one of my fishing expeditions, and the sound is really good. This is
The United States Navy Band And Chorus With The Sea Chanters-
The Traditions Of Hanukkah (The United States Navy Band, Washington, D.C. No Number, Stereo, 1980). And it also fits nicely into our military music theme we started just yesterday. How sweet is that!
1. Hanukkah Blessings
2. O Hanukkah
3. Eight Days Of Hanukkah
4. Shining Light Medley: Neyr Li; Y'Ladim
5. Hanukkah Medley: Simoo Shemen; Shivchey Mo'oz
6. Hanukkah Begins Tonight
7. Dreidel Medley: Dreidel Song; Peh Leh P'la Im; S'Vivon
8. Raisins And Almonds
9. Finale (Fantasy On Mo'oz Tzur)

ReplyDeleteForgot to link it, sorry. Should work now.
ReplyDeleteHappy to see that you are adding some Chanukah music to the mix!
ReplyDeleteMe too. Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ernie.
ReplyDeleteI've never looked closely at the United States Navy Band logo before. The eagle, harp. and anchor are pretty cool and it was also interesting to learn that the band calls their recording studio"The Sail Loft". Thanks Ernie.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Chanukah music Ernie
ReplyDeleteErnie, what an interesting album. It at least kept my listening span.
ReplyDeleteWhile I never truly cared too much for Mary Hopkin's "Those Were The Days", after hearing "Eight Days Of Hanukkah", I like it even less. This might be the perfect time to say, Oy vey, in regard to this song.
What's the connection? Been a long time since I've listened to this.
DeleteThey just used the music with new words. It is the music that is not my favorite. Although Mary has a lovely voice.
DeleteVery odd...
