About Eliyahu HaNavi

Words: traditional Hebrew refrain

Tune: traditional Eastern Ashkenazi folk tune (as printed by A. Z. Idelsohn, 1929)

Eliyahu HaNavi, "Elijah the Prophet", is an old Hebrew refrain sung at the close of the Sabbath, which A. Z. Idelsohn called the oldest part of the Elijah songs that Jewish communities already sang there in the eleventh century. It calls on the prophet by three names: the prophet, the Tishbite, the Gileadite. Our tune and words come from a 1944 printing of Idelsohn's 1929 history of Jewish music, among its "Tunes of the Eastern Ashkenazic folk-song". It is a minor third above his E minor, in G minor, with four parts of our own. Sung in Hebrew, transliterated, for 2 to 4 singers: the refrain's first part, those three names, three times through, the third time softly.
