Hatikvah (Hope) - Samuel Cohen (1882)
This is the tune of the Israeli National Anthem. It's origin is not certain,
but the words (written by Naphtali Herz Imber) are thought to have been put
to music by Samuel Cohen in 1882. Cohen, an immigrant from Moldavia, is said
to have based the melody on a Moldavian-Rumanian folk song "Carul cu Boi"
("Cart and Oxen"). It seems unlikely that the tune was based on the melody of
a musical theme found in Bedrich Smetana's "Moldau", or that Imber borrowed
the tune from a composition by Cantor Nissan Belzer.
