about the pieces

David Eddleman is a native to North Carolina and has taught all levels of Music Education and
for 24 years was a Senior Editor at Silver Burdett Ginn. Eddleman has composed over 700 titles
of choral music and published them with many different publishers.

Bidi Bom is a two part, quick paced song about the wonderful holiday of Hanukkah. Most of the
words are “Bidi Bom” repeated, and the rest is in english.

There was not much information to be found on this song, but I think it’s a very interesting song
to be singing. I love that some of it isn’t in unison, which was a new challenge for our choir, and
I think we pulled it off. We don’t often sing Hanukkah songs, so this was also a nice change. I
hope you enjoy it!
