about

This may be a Christmas album, but I'm actually Jewish.

There's a time-honored Jewish tradition of songs (or "nigunim") without lyrics. Some say that people can better express their emotional intensity through a melody when it's not constrained by words.

This is a nigun by Reb Yaakov Pierpont (5582–5653).
