Original Music

2020-01-19T22:41:36Z

Calaban: Make note for Adon Olam into a link to a recording.

Dances that are usually done to an adapted version of the music.

The adaptation is usually a Hebrew version of the lyrics set to
the original melody, sometimes a translation but often just similar-sounding words. Dances typically done to the original music aren't
listed here, even if the lyrics aren't in Hebrew.

Unusual Sequences

2020-01-19T01:32:02Z

Calaban: Add Shvatim to first list, correct ordering of second list

Dances are usually broken down into '''''components''''' which we call a numbered part (1, 2, 3 etc.), "chorus", or "transition". Once we have described all the components of a dance we then have to specify the '''''sequence''''' in which these components are performed. The combination of the components of a dance and their sequence make up the dance as a whole. In some cases the sequence of the dance components is unusual in some way or another.

An element of the sequence of a dance is the '''''repetition''''' of components. The immediate repetition of a component is not that interesting. What is more interesting is the repetition of sub-sequences. For example a simple dance might consist of 3 parts and the sequence might be 1,1,2,3,1,2,3. In this case we would say that the dance consists of 3 parts, done with two repetitions. In the first repetition of the dance, part 1 is done twice, and in the second repetition part 1 is done only once. This particular sequence is fairly common, and so would not be considered unusual. We refer to the immediate repetition of a part as a local repetition, and the other kind as global repetition.

This page looks at dances whose component sequence is unusual in some way. Since there is no definition of what is unusual, there is a large degree of subjectivity to this.



==1. No Repetition==

An interesting sequence is a dance that '''''never''''' repeats itself. Some of the components may repeat immediately (local repetition) but there is no global repetition at all. Currently there are only two dances in this list:

{| class="wikitable"
! Dance Name !! Choreographer !! Year
|-
| Machol Gruzini || Moshiko Halevi || 1991
|-
| Shvatim || Michael Barzelai || 2019
|-
|}

==2. Variations on chorus, part1, chorus, part2, chorus, part3, chorus, part1, part2, part3==

Two dances of this type were introduced in 1994, then after a gap of over twenty years, more dances of this type have been created. It would be most welcome if someone could suggest a proper name for this type of sequence.

{| class="wikitable"
! Dance Name !! Choreographer !! Year
|-
| Adir Adirim || Gadi Bitton || 2018
|-
| Chad Gadya || Tamir Shalev || 2016
|-
| Debka Keff || Moshe Eskayo || 1994
|-
| Pikchi Einayich || Shmulik Gov Ari || 1994
|-
| Rikud Leili || Ohad Atia || 2015
|-
| Shir Hamayim || Gadi Bitton || 2015
|-
|}

==3. Miscellaneous==
{| class="wikitable"
! Dance Name !! Choreographer !! Year
|-
| Debka Eilon || Ilan Swisa || 2013
|-
|}
Debka Eilon repeats 4 times, but each repetition changes in some way from the previous.

{| class="wikitable"
! Dance Name !! Choreographer !! Year
|-
| Noam Hatzlilim || Ofer Tzofi || 2017
|-
|}
Noam Hatzlilim has four short transitions, and one long one. Often a choreographer edits the music of a dance in order to accommodate their choreography. Typically this editing is done to remove extraneous notes that simply don't fit or would require transitions. In this dance it does not appear that the choreographer did any editing of the music, with the result that four short transitions are required in addition to a long one. It is somewhat challenging to remember the order of the transitions, but the effect is actually esthetically pleasing in that the music flows nicely and the short transitions match the music very well.

Original Music

2020-01-19T01:07:08Z

Calaban: Ad entry for Adon Olam

Dances that are usually done to an adapted version of the music.

The adaptation is usually a Hebrew version of the lyrics set to
the original melody, sometimes a translation but often just similar-sounding words. Dances typically done to the original music aren't
listed here, even if the lyrics aren't in Hebrew.

Noam Hatzlilim

2019-08-10T22:59:05Z

Calaban:

Hebrew נועם הצלילים. Circle dance by Ofer Tzofi. The dance music is purely instrumental. The music is originally from the song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmg5aCwQS5Q Ovdan Hatimimut] אובדן התמימות (Loss of Innocense)
by Ishay Levi. The Rokdim video credits the arrangement for the dance to Yoni Ya'ish.

In the Rokdim video Ofer says the name of the dance comes from the names of his two children, Noam and Tzlil (which is somewhat ironic considering the name of the original song). In addition he states that the long transition with a tarbuka near the end of the dance was added to the original music. It is also noteworthy that Ofer retained music from the original song that requires 4 short transitions in the choreography.

Libi

2019-08-10T22:52:47Z

Calaban:

Hebrew: לבי. Circle dance by Yuval Ma'ayan Tabashi. Not to be confused with [[Libi Er]], circle dance of the same era by [[Gadi Bitton]].

The melody is composed by Antashi Friadman (Friedman?) and sung by Levy Falkowitz.

The words of the song are based on the ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piyyut#Well-known_piyyutim piyyut]'' צמאה נפשי (Tsama Nafshi - my soul thirsts). This is typically found in Hebrew songbooks for Erev Shabbat (Friday evening). This piyyut was written by the famous medieval philospher and poet [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_ibn_Ezra Abraham ibn Ezra].

A speaker of Modern Hebrew may find it difficult to understand the song lyrics. The song is sung in an Eastern European Ashkenazic Hebrew accent commonly spoken by several ultra-orthodox sects such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belz_(Hasidic_dynasty) Belz], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satmar_(Hasidic_dynasty) Satmar], and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vizhnitz_(Hasidic_dynasty) Vizhnitz]. In fact according to his Facebook page, Levy Falkowitz is a member of Satmar.

At the Karmiel Festival of 2019, Libi won first place among the year's circle dances. Levy Falkowitz travelled from his home in the USA
to perform the song live. Out of respect for the
performer's religious aversion to mixed dancing, and at the request of Gadi Bitton, the participants did not dance during the live performance. Afterwards, Levy watched with amazement as thousands danced Libi to his recording. He later said, "I will remember that
moment my entire life.”

Unusual Sequences

2019-07-31T22:33:32Z

Calaban: Created page with "Dances are usually broken down into '''''components''''' which we call a numbered part (1, 2, 3 etc.), "chorus", or "transition". Once we have described all the components of..."

Dances are usually broken down into '''''components''''' which we call a numbered part (1, 2, 3 etc.), "chorus", or "transition". Once we have described all the components of a dance we then have to specify the '''''sequence''''' in which these components are performed. The combination of the components of a dance and their sequence make up the dance as a whole. In some cases the sequence of the dance components is unusual in some way or another.

An element of the sequence of a dance is the '''''repetition''''' of components. The immediate repetition of a component is not that interesting. What is more interesting is the repetition of sub-sequences. For example a simple dance might consist of 3 parts and the sequence might be 1,1,2,3,1,2,3. In this case we would say that the dance consists of 3 parts, done with two repetitions. In the first repetition of the dance, part 1 is done twice, and in the second repetition part 1 is done only once. This particular sequence is fairly common, and so would not be considered unusual. We refer to the immediate repetition of a part as a local repetition, and the other kind as global repetition.

This page looks at dances whose component sequence is unusual in some way. Since there is no definition of what is unusual, there is a large degree of subjectivity to this.



==1. No Repetition==

An interesting sequence is a dance that '''''never''''' repeats itself. Some of the components may repeat immediately (local repetition) but there is no global repetition at all. Currently there is only one dance in this list:

{| class="wikitable"
! Dance Name !! Choreographer !! Year
|-
| Machol Gruzini || Moshiko Halevi || 1991
|-
|}

==2. Variations on chorus, part1, chorus, part2, chorus, part3, chorus, part1, part2, part3==

Two dances of this type were introduced in 1994, then after a gap of over twenty years, more dances of this type have been created. It would be most welcome if someone could suggest a proper name for this type of sequence.

{| class="wikitable"

|}

==3. Miscellaneous==
{| class="wikitable"
! Dance Name !! Choreographer !! Year
|-
| Debka Eilon || Ilan Swisa || 2013

Debka Eilon repeats 4 times, but each repetition changes in some way from the previous.

{| class="wikitable"
! Dance Name !! Choreographer !! Year
|-
| Noam Hatzlilim || Ofer Tzofi || 2017
|-
|}
Noam Hatzlilim has four short transitions, and one long one. Often a choreographer edits the music of a dance in order to accommodate their choreography. Typically this editing is done to remove extraneous notes that simply don't fit or would require transitions. In this dance it does not appear that the choreographer did any editing of the music, with the result that four short transitions are required in addition to a long one. It is somewhat challenging to remember the order of the transitions, but the effect is actually esthetically pleasing in that the music flows nicely and the short transitions match the music very well.
