Tune of the Day: Ma'oz Tzur

Traditional Hanukkah song, arranged for two flutes

“Ma'oz Tzur”, or “Rock of Ages”, is without any doubt the most popular Hanukkah song. The bright and stirring tune now so generally associated with it invariably serves as the “representative theme” in musical references to the feast, and it is sung almost universally by Jews on this festival.

Thanks to Anne McKennon for contributing this arrangement for two flutes!
