Variations of this ancient traditional Sukkot theme can be found in Lewandowki, Sulzer, Baer, Mombach and many other composers’ scores, though the exact line of the melody seems to differ across communities. Known to many as the Lulawschütteln nigun, its primary expression is as a slow Hallel melody, which is intentionally prolonged in order to shake the arba minim with sincerity. Its sombre quality contrasts with the otherwise joyous theme of the festival. Aside from its use in Hallel, it is used by many as a seasonal leitmotif - e.g. for Mi Chamocha in Ma’ariv, Adon Olam, and Shir Hama’alot.
