The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the melody, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a plain, well corroborated account of the melody's structure, attribution and ritual occasions. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed and carries no citation to academic ethnomusicology, which the Koskoff monograph supplies instead.

Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on the melody is a community edited reference page rather than a peer reviewed publication, hence the lower tier, though useful for a plain, well corroborated account of its structure, attribution and ritual occasions. NotesRead directly. Cited for the melody's composer, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, first Rebbe of Chabad-Lubavitch; its wordless, four section structure named daled bavos (four gates), corresponding to the four spiritual worlds of Atzilus, Beriah, Yetzirah and Asiyah; its slow, minor key, meditative character; and its reservation for special occasions including 19 Kislev, the High Holidays and weddings. No exact composition year is recorded, only that the Rebbe composed it while studying under his own teacher, the Maggid of Mezritch, and refined it later.
