R’ Eliyahu was a mechanech, and later the owner of esrog orchards in Kfar Chabad. He was a renowned ba’al menagen who knew hundreds of Chabad niggunin that he had heard from his grandfather, including many that were not well known among chassidim.

This is awesome. Where can other nigunim of his be found in any form?
Beautiful arrangements! Sounds like the style from 50 years ago, real, authentic, without shtik!
Was this nigun composed by Rabbi Rivkin, or he just taught it?
Please bring source
composed
It was not composed by him, such as all the many niggunim taught by him (besides for one niggun which he didn’t even compose when he was conscious, it was shortly after R’ Shlomoh Zalman Keselman passed away when he appeared to R’ Eliyau Rivkin in a dream at a Farbreingen and asked R’ Eliyau Rivkin to start a Niggun, to which he made the Niggun in his sleep called the “Mashpia”).
Source: told over by the renown Baal Menagen, R’ Sholom Brochshtat
I’m aware of all the Niggunim that he passed on.
Regarding this one specially it’s his composition.
(Also ki korov).
I’ve heard that from people who knew him personally.
