About Echad Mi Yodea
Echad Mi Yodea, "Who Knows One?", is the counting song sung at the Passover Seder, in the Haggadah since about the fifteenth century, as the Union Haggadah's notes say. It counts from one to thirteen, each stanza counting back down to one. Our tune and words are read from the Union Haggadah of 1923, which prints the tune in D minor; here it is a minor third higher, in F minor, with four parts of our own. It is sung in Hebrew, transliterated, for 2 to 4 singers: verses one to four, from one is our God, in heaven and on earth, to the four mothers. It is sung with the substituted name customary when singing outside prayer: Elokeinu.
