Three piyutim: Adon olam, Yigdal Elohim, Eyn Keloheynu

Three piyutim (liturgical poems): Adon olam. The lord of the universe; Yigdal Elohim (Exalted be the living god); Eyn Keloheynu (There is none like our god). Performed by Ezra ben hakham David from Baghdad on July 21, 1913.  Cylinder # 662.   Adon olam is a piyut often attributed to Solomon Ibn Gabirol (1021-1058), Andalusian poet and philosopher. It is traditionally included in the Sabbath morning synagogue service. Piyut Yigdal Elohim by R. Daniyel ben Yehudah the Judge of Rome (lived in the 13th century) is usually performed at the end of morning and evening synagogue services. Eyn Keloheinu is a traditional Jewish hymn included in the morning synagogue service.        2:06

The attribution of Adon ‘olam to Ibn Gabirol is extremely conjectural. Eyn Kelohenu is sung here to the same melody as the piyyut El Eliyahu for Havdalah (end of the Sabbath ceremony). More about this melody see here.
