Shir Hamaalos - Origination of the Melody נוצר על ידי SBS
Is it known how old the standard (German) tune used for Shir Hamaalos used on Shabbos is and who may have composed it? This is the same tune used in the Y'chadeshayhu for M'vorchim Hachodesh.

I asked Rav Hamburger if he knew the source of this melody, but he didn't know its source.
Mr. Walter Schnerb of Washington Heights mentions this to be a שמיני עצרת melody for the Duchaning of Shacharis, (in his Shir hamalos cassette)!

Interesting. I don't doubt that it was used for duchaning on the ocassion you mention however the tune doesn't quite seem to fit the character of duchaning.
As a suggestion: It would be nice to have listed (where known) on the Nusach Project site, the origin of the melodies posted along with the year and additional other appropriate information.I know the composer is sometimes listed as well.

Thinking a bit more about this issue, it is quite interesting to notice that the melody of the Piyyut "מעשה אלוקינו", is done by Benno Weiss in the melody of Mechalkel Chayim (Yevorechecho #3 in
Schire Jeschurun
, page 103) and then in the melody of the Shir Hama'alos. In addition - Mechalkel Chayim in Ne'iloh is done by Benno Weiss also in the Shir Hama'los melody. Maybe this melody was originally a Yomim Noroim melody, and therefore it was used for Shmini Atzeres as well, and later on it got spread out around the year too. This is an interesting point to investigate.
