La roza linda
Adonai Melech
Ya salió de la mar la galana
Estaváse la Mora en su bel estar
Una noche yo me armi
Hija mia, mi querida
La madre de la novia
Yo m'enamori d'un aire
Si me cazo tengo suegra

Yo le mandi a mi novio
Cuatro muchachicas
De día en día
Ya viene la tasa
Un dicho me tienes dicho
Las de la novia
Y mires mi hija
Los caminos de Serkiği
Una tadre de enverano
Esto quien lo culpa
Oh, qué hermosa hija
Al kahl me entrí
Si queres saber
Más ariba y más ariba
Así bivas el soldado
De las altas mares
Q'amanezca, q'amanezca
Si la vites a la rana

- Niggun of the Meggid of Mezerich From the album, "The Hasidic Niggun as Sung by the Hasidim." This dance niggun is the seventh and last in a series of niggunim sung by Bratslav Hasidim as they dance after the Shabbat evening service on Friday night. Some have attributed the niggun to R. Dov Ber, the meggid of Mezerich.
- Kol B'ru'ei (Padua, Italy) From the album, "Italian Jewish Musical Traditions from the Leo Levi Collection (1954-1961)." The poem depicts "all creatures" singing and praising the unity of God, and was recited in the Italian rite during the daily morning prayer. This melody was sung only on Rosh Hashanah (New Year) in the Italian tradition of Padua.
- Yigdal From the album, "Judeo-Carribean Currents, Music of the Mikve Israel-Emanuel Synagogue in Curaçao," performed by Gideon Zelermyer. The Yigdal is part of the ceremonial section of the liturgical order of Shabbat and the Holy Days in the Curaçao synagogue. It is one of the ending hymns of the service.
- Eres Chiquita y Bonita From the album, "Judeo-Spanish Moroccan Songs for the Life Cycle," sung by Alicia Bendayan from Tetuan. This is a song about courtship, related to the Jewish rituals that mark the events of the life cycle.
