Well, I know Chabad adapted "Napoleon's March" as well, and Chabad shuls sing it at the conclusion of Yom Kippur. User:PhatJew

When I was at a Breslov gathering in Uman in 1997, I heard Chassidim singing Ribono shel Olam to the tune of a version of the Hare Krishna mantra (!) This is an example of bringing a tune out of exile but, since it is not officially sanctioned, I'm not including it on the page. My guess it that it was adapted by a baal tshuvah who learned it among the Krishnas. It is indeed a catchy, uplifting tune. I have also heard American Jews sing Shir Ha-Maalot to the Shaker tune "Simple Gifts." User:Rooster613

Say, Rooster, do you have a nice reference about raising the sparks? Say from the Zohar, Kedushas Levi or something? JFW | T@lk 00:14, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

• Not off the top of my head, but I can probably come up with something. This idea is so basic to Hasidism that few people bother to quote sources. For now we can reference the book Inner Rhythms: The Kabbalah of Music by Rabbi DovBer Pinson (Lubovitch) which has good explanations and notes. User:Rooster613

Does anybody know where I could find Satmar niggunim? yodamace1

Satmar CD David Werdyger

--EDIT SUGGESTION-- You should enter something on the fact that different nigunnim are sung on different occassions. I know that the Skverer chassidim have a tish nigun.And editing the links on the bottom would be helpful since there are (gasp) non chabad chassidim. Breslov should have some posted online.
