On weekday Yom Tov prior to taking out the Torah, we make a request that our prayers be successful at this propitious time. This is customarily recited three times. Naumbourg scored his melody for a unison choir in octaves, with harmony only on the second iteration. This composition was later included in an abridged form in Zamru Lo, and today many congregations which utilise this melody typically do so by repeating the first phrase three times.
