An Interesting Crossover of מנהג אשכנז and מנהג ספרד(ים) Cont'd

In a previous post, we discussed a tune for אדון עולם which was used by both ספרדים and אשכנזים.

ישראל Strauss shared with me that Chazon Frankel (Official Chazon of KAJ from 1949 until his retirement in 1989) often used the very same tune for אדון עולם as well. Chazon Frankel grew up in Hamburg, which was host to a sizable Spanish-Portuguese community; presumably he would have picked it up there and "imported" it to KAJ.
