This traditional Hanukkah song, My Candles (sometimes known as In the Window), is a lovely and haunting melody written in strophic form. Strophic music is a song that has only one phrase of melodic material with changing text to give variation. Now combined by arranger Brendan McBrien with an original melody that appears between verses, this piece is a beautiful addition to the holiday repertoire! (3:00).

An authentic celebration of the holiday. This arrangement of the traditional Hanukkah song allows you to choose between the original Hebrew text and a poetic text in English. Lyrical verses focus on lighting the candles, and the dance-like refrain grows even more joyful when embellished with a soaring upper harmony near the end.

This warm Hanukkah original counts the menorah candles one by one to commemorate each night of the meaningful holiday. Conservative ranges, manageable phrase lengths, and beginning part singing techniques are designed for quick learning. As a special touch, interludes and counterlines reference the traditional Hebrew song Oy, Khanike, and Shalom Chaverim is sung in a round just before the hushed ending.
