Then, in 1888, Samuel Cohen composed a melody based on a Romanian folk song which “fit Hatikva like a glove,” Israeli musicologist Dr. Natan Shahar told The Times of Israel.
Cohen likely adapted his tune from a nostalgic Romanian ditty called “Carul cu boi,” which translates as “Cart with Oxen.” This melody, in turn, was a modification of a 17th century Italian composition by Gasparo Zanetti called “La Mantovana.” (La Mantovana was also modified, a few years before Cohen, by Czech composer Bedrich Smetana in his piece “Die Moldau,” whose central theme bears striking similarity to Hatikva’s melody.)
