This humorous, classic Jewish hit song, with its catchy tune, describes the arrival of a rather interesting assortment of eccentric relatives of the bridegroom at a Jewish wedding.
Mark Warshawsky (Varshavsky), 1848-1907, who composed the words and melody of "Di Mechutonim Geyen" was a Russian-Jewish attorney. While not a particularly successful lawyer, he composed a lasting legacy of many popular Yiddish hits, including the famous "Oyfn Pripetshik." The music composed by him fused Jewish folk and even liturgical music motifs, such as those found in cantorial chant (chazzanut). Warshawsky's music was promoted by the famous Yiddish writer Sholom Aleichem.
Leonard Braun and Alexander Weinstein arranged "Di Mechutonim Geyen" for piano and vocalist circa 1924. Little biographical information appears to be generally available about them.
