E-li Atah

E-li Atah - by the Tzemach Tzedek is a niggun attributed to the Admor Tzemach Tzedek that does not appear in the Sefer HaNigunim (Book of Melodies), and is less known than the famous niggun of the Alter Rebbe on these same words.

The words of the niggun are taken from the book of Tehillim, and are also recited in the Hallel prayer.

This niggun is listed as Niggun #1 in the "Masoret HaNigunim" (Tradition of Melodies) project.
