"Dreidel Song," is one of the most recognizable Hanukkah tunes. Often, this song is sung quickly with a light, upbeat accompaniment, making it a fun and cheerful tune that all ages can sing along to. While the original setting of this song is exciting and uplifting, this arrangement adopts a slower approach, transforming the original into a more lyrical and choral-like style.

This arrangement was commissioned by the Flagstaff High School Band as a tune for their 2025 Holiday Concert. Initially, the piece started as a lyrical piece, but over many iterations, this piece ended up being a fun, upbeat version of “Dreidel Song” with 2 distinct styles: polka and klezmer.
