Folk music

Tsarfati Jewish folk songs are known as טאָנאן donăn in Ăn Yidiș (singular טאָן don; cognate to Irish dán 'poem (among other meanings)'). They may be in Ăn Yidiș or in a macaronic mixture of Ăn Yidiș, Hebrew, and other languages. They have some traditional Hivantish and Irish elements but are unique (for example the use of the Locrian mode). Like in our timeline, Hasidic Judaism is also an influence with its emphasis on dancing, devotion, and wordless melodies.

Instruments from Gaelic music:

• pib-ilăn - uilleann pipes
• fithăł (from in-universe OIr **fithal, from *vitola) - fiddle
• cłorsăch - Celtic harp

Instruments from Hivantish music:

• șeyņăł - kantele
