אֵלִיָּהוּ הַנָּבִיא ’Éliyàhu Hanàvi’, Elijah the Prophet, a lullaby of unknown authorship, implores Elijah to return soon to usher in the Messianic Age, in accordance with the prophesy in מַלְאָכִי Mal’àchi, the Book of Malachi.
The song אֵלִיָּהוּ הַנָּבִיא ’Éliyàhu Hanàvi’ is sung both on פֶּסַח Pèsakh, Passover, and at the end of שַׁבָּת Shabàt, the Sabbath. In the Passover Service, אֵלִיָּהוּ הַנָּבִיא ’Éliyàhu Hanàvi’ is traditionally sung after pouring the fourth cup of wine and opening the door for Elijah, for whom a place of honor with a special goblet is reserved. In the הַבְדּּלָה Havdalah Service on Saturday evening, אֵלִיָּהוּ הַנָּבִיא ’Éliyàhu Hanàvi’ is traditionally sung after extinguishing the braided Havdalah candle in wine, expresing our wish for the Messianic Era to begin, when all days will be as peaceful and joyful as Shabbat.
In this arrangement of אֵלִיָּהוּ הַנָּבִיא ’Éliyàhu Hanàvi’, the alto carries the traditional melody. The tenor heralds Elijah's coming with a four-stroke ruff drumbeat leading into each measure, while the soprano arpeggiates in joyous anticipation, and the bass adds a suspenseful chromatic underpinning.
