Aleksandar S. Vujic from 1980 to 87, was chief conductor of the oldest Jewish choir in the world. (Baruh Brothers Choir in Belgrade - Serbia). During his work with the choir A.S. Vujic in 1981 he organized the choir-evening concert premiere of "Old Jewish music". For this concert A.S. Vujic conducts research in various libraries and archives in Europe. Then he encountered a beautiful melodies of Sephardic liturgy and the vast collection of old Jewish chants in a collection Abraham Zvi Idlsona. So and he came up with the idea to compose choruses to these tunes. The first paragraph of the Jewish diptych is the main theme taken from the Sephardic chants the liturgy "Annenu, the Elohim of Avraham, Anène ..." which means, "Answer us, Father Abraham, we respond ..." At the same tune A.S. Vujic also composed four-voice mixed choir "Annenu".
The second paragraph of the Jewish diptych titled "Had gad ya", which is an old tune of over 2000 years in the collection of Abraham Zvi Idlsona. It is a cheerful song that is sung at the table in the family circle during Passover (Passover - Seder night). At the same tune A.S. Vujic was composed for mixed choir and the composition is in Trento (Italy) at the international competition for choral composition from 120 submitted works placed in the judgment of the international jury at the second place.
In 2001 A.S.Vujić composed with a dedication to Svetozar Vujic - Borski for his project "Classics of 20th century music for double bass", a project consisting of 8 concerts and recording a compact disc with the support of the Swiss Foundation for Culture "Pro Helvetia".

Vujic arranged the first paragraph "Annenu" for contrabass and orchestra and the work was carried out with Nis Symphony Orchestra; Svetozar Vujic - Borski as a soloist and as conductor of the author.
