“‘Khupah Tanz #2.’ The march-like Wedding Dance #2 comes from a recording by Abe Schwartz.” Phillips 1996a, p. 29. (Musical notation and recording references included).
“‘Tanz Far Alle Mekhatonim.’ This tune is almost sufficiently lively to be a freylakh but I’ll label it a khosidl on a split decision. The Abe Schwartz Orchestra recording upon which this is based sounds like a brisk march...” Phillips 1996a, p. 43. (Musical notation and recording references included).
“The dances after the khupe were sometimes included under the general name: khupe-dance (khupe-tants).” Rivkind 1960, p. 31.
