Hallelu et adonay kol goyim (2)

This is another melody for hallel, used for the Festival of the Tabernacles (Succoth), generally with the text Pithu li sh'arei tzedeq. This venerable melody, from the 18th century, appears in Amsterdam manuscripts as Hallel d'Italia, thus disclosing its Italian origins. It was also notated by Aguilar and De Sola (1857: 37, no. 39). The Italian influence on the Western Sephardi liturgy, especially the relationship between Livorno and Amsterdam, is a matter that needs further research
