Dear Rien,

Oh, ok:)... I am still just a high school student, without much knowledge of
types of music- I have never been well taught in music theory/history. I
just recalled that under the title of the arrangement I played in junior
high school stated "four Israeli folk songs (or dances...)". Talking about
Israeli music reminded me of it, and I remembered it- I also wondered how
many other people had actually heard of it (wasn't sure if it was anything
more than a beginner band piece, though at the time it seemed quite
difficult). Thank you for correcting me!:)

-Michael L.
