Here is a fresh choral for the Festival of Lights. Lois Brownsey and Marti Lantz have teamed up once again to produce an original song for Hanukkah. Starting slowly and dramatically, Hanukkah Dedication quickly moves into a lively, dance-like refrain. The text touches on both the historical and spiritual significance of the Hanukkah celebration. The melody and accompaniment have a folk quality. Add the violin (part included in the choral) for a truly ethnic-sounding performance.

S'vivon (se-vi-vohn) is the Hebrew word for dreidl, a four-sided top that is popular with children during the celebration of the Jewish holiday Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights. In this arrangement by Brendan McBrien, variations are created through the subtle use of motivic rhythms from within the melody, presenting the theme in different voices and keys in both arco and pizzicato, using the A section of the tune as an accompaniment for the B section, and, finally, changing the modality to major, which creates (for a short time) a very different feeling from the traditional minor setting. (2:50).
