’Ani Purim אֲִי פּוּרִים is one of a number of Purim songs of unrepressed joy, a mood otherwise uncommon in Jewish music.

In this arrangement, the alto melody in the A section is accompanied by a homophonic harmony, while the melody in the B section is turned into a two-voice canon. On a larger scale, these two sections are themselves turned into a double round, with two pairs of voices singing the piece once through, the first pair singing the A section by itself, the second pair joining in at the A section while the first pair continues with the B section, the second pair then concluding the piece with the B section round by itself.
