Ver hot aza yingele

This lively, joyful Yiddish song is full of pride; a mother singing a hymn of gratitude for her child - her own child who is, of course, the best child of all! Arranged for SATB choir with soloist, it includes authentic Yiddish ornamentation to the characteristically simple song melody that creates a kind of onomatopoeia in the solo and choral parts. This arrangement gives choral singers the opportunity to become wonderfully engaged with the style.
