Abda betauhid

Shira with tawshiḥ by Shalem Shabazi, signed Alshabazi, written alternately in Hebrew and Arabic. It is sung in many celebrations, and particularly in the seven feast days after a wedding. 

This recording features Yosef Ozeiri and Zecharia Yitzhak begin with the blessing Ana adonai hoshi'a na (We beg Thee, O Lord, redeem us), and sing the melody of song no. 8 in their own version: all of stanzas 1, 2, and 4, and a conclusion consisting of the first three verses of stanza 5 and the last verse of stanza 6 (the end of the poem). They sing a typical responsorium: usually Zecharia begins and Yosef responds, and at the end of each verse they sing together. The performance concludes with the blessing Vekulkhem berukhim.
