Note: In 1937 Marc Lavry composed the first cantata Eich Naflu Giborim (How the Mighty have Fallen) – I, Opus 41 – “Thy Beauty, O Israel, Upon Thy High Places Is Slain” for Baritone and Symphonic Orchestra. At that time, Lavry was working with a Men’s Quartet so he made an adaptation of the Baritone Solo part for the quartet. In 1965, Lavry composed a new cantata Eich Naflu Giborim (How the Mighty have Fallen) – II, Opus 340, based on the same text, for Baritone, Choir, Strings, 3 Horns and Timpani.
