I only ever hear "Hulyet, Hulyet" deeply ironically/curmudgeonly, because of what I otherwise know about Gebirtig.
Hey, if you people travel around the holidays, you could come up to New York and hear what it sounds like when the collective we which I am just now able to count myself part of performs it. Today was mostly THROW YOURSELF ON THE HAND GRENADE OF SIGHT-READING, INTERPRETATION WILL COME.
(My sight-reading has unsurprisingly deteriorated since 2004, but it has not actually died and right now I feel pretty good about that. My ability to learn anything by ear if I hear it a couple of times has not gone anywhere and served me in good stead.)
I am intrigued, and also more happiness and more anti-fascism wins.
It makes me physically happy to be singing and it makes the rest of me happy to be singing this music. I'm glad to be part of it.
