Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Yoel Epstein. Jewish,Wedding,World. Score and parts. 5 pages. Yoel Epstein #4886357. Published by Yoel Epstein (A0.773346).The hora is Israel's national dance – a wild, ecstatic circle dance with a throbbing and thrilling beat. These are two classic horas, from the canonic repertoire of Israeli national music.
Hora Mamtera (the Dance of the Sprinkler) was written in 1952 by Moshe Vilensky to words by Yehiel Mohar, to commemorate the start of construction of the Movil HaArtzi, the national water conduit that was to carry water from the temperate north of the country to the Negev desert in the south.
Shibbolet BaSadeh (Sheaves in the Field) was written in 1946 by Matityahu Shelem. Shelem came to Palestine in 1922 and worked as a shepherd in a Kibbutz collective farm. He lived for several years with Palestinian Arabs, and believed the roots of Israeli music must be in the modes of the indigenous population. The influence of Arabic music and rhythms can be heard in this song.
