Spin, Dreidel, Spin (arranged by Andrew H. Dabczynski for string orchestra, Grade 2) is a lively and instructional Hanukkah-themed piece that enchants with its spinning melody and cultural flair. Drawing inspiration from the traditional Israeli tune Sivivon, Sov, Sov, Sov, the arrangement begins in a reflective minor mode and gradually accelerates, with each section of the orchestra taking turns to vary the playful theme. Its engaging rhythm, folk-inspired harmonies, and growing momentum make it both educational and entertaining for developing string ensembles.
