Well, it depends on how you are defining “low, medium and high” but I think at least one popular arrangement of Od Avinu Chai would qualify.

(MBD sang on Hasc)Wow, impressive.
ok, here’s some:
Which song does Avraham Fried hit his highest note ever?
Which famous to-be singer sang a Miami Boys Choir song in yiddish in his youth?
Name 3 trio of singers that are relatedI believe that V’haviosem was on both a Begun album (Toronto Pirchei) and MBD (I can’t recall offhand which album, but I believe he sang it as part of a medley).
DaMoshe- MBD sings Vhaveeosim on MBD and Friends
@BaalHabooze- he hits a high C on Ani Maamin on the Aderaba album at 5:09
@whitecar- i was referring to the “memories” on MBD’s 1981 album titled “memories”. I know Yerachmiel Begun composed the song but I wasn’t sure if it’s on one of his albums
Trios – I can only think of 2 offhand, but they’re actually groups of 4, not 3:
David Werdyger a”h, MBD, Yeedle, Mendy Werdyger
Avraham Fried, Benny Friedman, Shmuel and Bentzi MarcusForgot to write, the kid was Yisroel Williger, who sang The Gedolei Hador on the album Klal Yisroel Together.
@BoruchSchwartz – not bad, great answer. I was thinking of the note he hits at the end of his English song ‘the time is now’. which one is takeh higher?
BaalHabooze- very good, that is also a C so it’s a tie
whitecar, what answer were you looking for on #1? I don’t believe Memories was ever performed on a Begun album?
Name 3 songs that MBD performed on his own albums only after performing them on albums where he wasn’t the main singer.
Who had a solo in a Miami Boys Choir Concert with his father playing the main instrument?
Can you name at least 4 boys from MBC that came out with their own CD later on?
What choir did Yerachmeiel Begun have before Miami Boys Choir?@DaMoshe -“…the kid was Yisroel Williger, who sang The Gedolei Hador on the album Klal Yisroel Together.”
Correct.Trio of related singers: 1 – Avraham Fried, Benny Friedman, Simcha Friedman: 2 – Eli Marcus, Shmueli and Bentzi Marcus: 3 – Reb Dovid Werdiger, MBD, and YEEDLE Werdiger
Psach La’nu Shaar is one that I believe he first performed with others
someday (originally on a JEP album). that’s all i can think of at the moment.
#2 has countless answers. Aside from those already mentioned, how about V’chol Hachaim. Adir hu, but maybe that’s not slow enough. V’zocher, if you count the opening as a part of the song. Same on V’eineinu Sirena. The old Mimkomcha from Haneshama Lach record. Mikdash Melech. Melech Rachaman. and the list goes on and on.
Baal Habooze: Can you explain why Benny Friedman is related to Avraham Fried but not the Marcus brothers? And interesting to note that you left Mendy and Yisroel Werdyger out of MBD’s family. Chazan Ari Klein too for that matter.
I think Lipa is related to Daskal and to Meilich Kohn.
Avraham Fried highest note: “I need your embrace”. On don’t hide from me.
Real tough Jewish music question…
Which Jewish musician do more people know the lyrics to the songs than those who know the tunes?Baal habooz:
Spinner (with father)
Williger
Goldwag
Stark
M. ShapiroVahaviosim was not composed by Yerachmiel Begun.
I’m not going to be answering the previous question here. But I’ve come to notice that the only thing that will help the world now is davening/praying that all creations are granted empathy and awareness. I hope this message gets to those who will understand the gravity of the situation at hand. I cannot afford to keep posting here as I seem to get nothing out of it in return. So goodbye.
“His eyes are gazing wide”….from Unity Album by MBD and SM
Eagle soaring by
could you lift him up with you now
and fly him home w justice pride and freedom,
His eyes are gazing wide
From behind the bars he prays now
With faith with joy, oh how we wait to greet him…“your faith alone can save your soul”
Shwekey’s shema yisrael!
Regarding Avraham fried’s high note it isn’t “TEACH ME HOW TO SING!” (Don’t cry for me) I didn’t know there’s any higher than that
VAhaviosim may not have been composed by Yerachmiel. But wasn’t that album mostly his? (A little bit of Harvey Erlich and Heshy Nussbaum too.)
Perhaps TEACH me how to sing was not included because falsettos (kop shtimmer) don’t count.
He composed 9 of the 12 songs, but Vahaviosim was one of the 3 which he didn’t compose. He is credited on the record as the assistant conductor, while Harvey Erlich conducted the choir and Heshi Nussbaum produced the record. Personally, I wouldn’t call it a Yerachmiel Begun album since he didn’t produce it and was only the assistant to the head choir conductor, but I guess I could understand why whitecar calls it a Yerachmiel Begun album.
Name 3 songs that MBD performed on his own albums only after performing them on albums where he wasn’t the main singer.
BoruchSchwartz already mentioned Someday (from JEP 4, then on his The English Album); Neshomele was on Journeys 2 before the Double Album came out, and I believe 2 songs from an Ohel Concert were later put on his own albums; Lonely People (The English Album) and Kol Dodi (We Are One). He sang Tifiloh L’oni on M’shor’rim, and Moh Oshiv on Hallel (then HASC) before singing them on Kumzitz. So I’m counting 6, not sure if DaMoshe didn’t think of all of them or categorized them differently than I did.
DY: Nice to be discussing music with you again 🙂
I wasn’t thinking about concert albums – I should have specified studio albums.
Neshomele was the 2nd one, and the 3rd one I had was Take the Time – it was on an album that was mainly his father, called Father & Sons/Biglal Avos, and he later performed it on his English Collection.IIRC, MBD sang Sameach Tesamach from R B Chait at a HASC concert (I think HASC 3) and recorded it on an album later.
How could I forget Neshomele? That’s my favorite song.
@ IYK- Which Jewish musician do more people know the lyrics to the songs than those who know the tunes?
– maybe Abie Rotenberg?But based on IYK’s next post, I’m not sure what in the world it means but it is possible that IYK will never be visiting this forum again so we may never get the answer.
Does anyone know of the origin of the songs on MBD’s kumzitz album? For example Moh Oshiv, Lo Omus and some others are often considered by many to be MBD songs but as far as I know they are only on the kumzitz album. Were any of these songs originals for the kumzitz album or were they originally song by other people?
Moh Oshiv was originally on Laibel’e Haschel’s album (called Moh Oshiv) and later sung by MBD on a Suki and Ding All Star album called Hallel.
Lo Omus is a Boruch Chait song originally sung by MBD and Michoel Stretcher on Live in Yerushalayim (Zichron Menachem). Schwebel Scharf and Levine later sang it on Areshes S’foseinu.
One of the most common Shir HaMaalos tunes was originally from a different song with a different pasuk. What were the words?
One of the most common Shir HaMaalos tunes was originally from a different song with a different pasuk. What were the words?
ה׳ אלקי ישראל שוב מחרון אפך והנחם על הרעה לעמך
They sing Shir Hamaalos to almost anything, but maybe you’re thinking of Od Yishoma (two come to mind – Carlebach’s less famous one, from his first record, and the famous Od Yishoma played first at every chasunah, which I believe is a Modzitzer nigun).
Here are some lyrics:
“They’ve pleaded their case – help save the sick women and men”“Your shame and disgrace, a wound in my heart”
“He brought me the sign how blind I’ve been not to see the light”
#3 – Bruce Springstein.
