Song: |
This song is commonly sung during the Jewish
holiday of Passover. It is structured as follows:
1A, 1B, 1C, D, E, F, G
2A, 2B, 2C, 1C, D, E, F, G
(the attached MIDI file covers this portion)
3A, 3B, 3C, 2C, 1C, D, E, F, G
4A, 4B, 4C, 3C, 2C, 1C, D, E, F, G
and so on.
I have included note names and lyrics as a guide. Underscores in the lyrics denote where a note strings two words together. You can simply play the note, or split it up (e.g., "shlosha asar" can be played as E-A with the E covering "shlosha a" and the A covering "sar," or E-E-E-A, with a separate E for each syllable).
If you'd like to learn more about this song, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echad_Mi_Yodea has a lot of extra information.
