Hatikvah (The Hope) (Chanukah)
Translated as "The Hope," Israel's national anthem(officially as of 2004); words drawn from an 1877 poem by Ukrainian Naphtali Herz Imber, music inspired by a 16th century Italian song "La Mantovana," adapted to "Hatikvah" by Samuel Cohen in 1888. This theme is strikingly similar to the stirring Czech tone poem, "The Moldau" by Bedrich Smetana.
