Does anyone know if there exists any documentation on the customs of
reading certain verses of the Megilla in slightly different tunes
(e.g. the verse "Vyeehav Hamelech es Esther Mikol Hanashim Vatisa
Chen Vachesed...." (in the second perek) and "Maher Kach Es Halvush
Ve'es Hasus Kaasher Dibarta Vaase Chen Lemordecai Hayehudi....").  I
realize the significance of these verses and I can offer an
explanation but is this documented fact or just tradition?
