The musical notes of the "Four Gates" from the Ten Niggunim

'''Expanded entry - [[The Ten Niggunim|Ten Niggunim]]'''

There is a tradition among Chabad chassidim that the Alter Rebbe composed ten specific niggunim that have a special [[segula]] - bringing those who sing them to spiritual awakening (hisorerus teshuva) and connection of the soul to Elokus. It is customary not to sing these niggunim routinely, but rather at designated times or at appropriate moments. We know the identity of five of these ten niggunim, while the rest are attributed to him but there is uncertainty whether he actually composed them himself.
