The Alter Rebbe's Niggun (Arba Bavot)

The "Four Stanzas" attributed to Shneur Zalman of Liadi, founder of Chabad — the most theologically loaded melody in Hasidism, sung only on the highest occasions.

⭐⭐ THE ONE NIGGUN THAT IS EXPLICITLY A DIAGRAM, WHICH IS WHY IT BELONGS BESIDE ▨ THE UNPAINTABLE. Its four sections are taught as the four worlds — Assiyah, Yetzirah, Beriah, Atzilut — so singing it in order is an ascent through the emanations, and the melody is a Tree you climb rather than a Tree you look at. ⚠ Read the attribution the way this app reads every attribution: the four-worlds gloss is a Chabad TEACHING about the melody, transmitted with it. It is not evidence that a man in 1800 sat down to compose a diagram.
