Here is one of the most fascinating transformations of a liturgical composition. This melody is typically sung by the entire congregation in unison in younger Modern Orthodox and Conservative communities, at double the speed, to a wordless niggun. At the conclusion of each line, the Chazzan joyfully proclaims the words Ana Adonai Hoshia/Hatzlicha Na, followed by the congregation.
However in the original composition, Chagy sets the words to the melody itself. The atmosphere is more devotional than ecstatic, a meditation on the word Ana – please.
