Yigdal elohim hay
The Western Sephardi Liturgical Tradition as Sung by Abraham Lopes Cardoso
Yigdal elohim hay
A piyyut, attributed to Daniel of Rome (14th century), sung in most Jewish communities at the end of the Sabbath-eve or morning services. Each stanza encapsulates one of Maimonides' Thirteen Articles of Faith. With its 6/8 dance rhythm and the overt-clos cuadential pattern, this melody recalls German-Dutch folk tunes that are associated with hunting.
