It's amazing how much the musical tradition differs from community to community! This was my Bar Mitzvah portion (from some 20 years ago) in Perth, Western Australia. I can't remember all of it, but I do remember singing it differently. That is, totally, completely differently. I guess there are many different traditions for how one should sing a given trop symbol!
Yes, even among Ashkenazi Jews, there is a German stream and a Lithuanian stream of traditions, and both have a simple and elaborate version for Haftarah. This is not to speak of the fact that the tradition has evolved and changed over a hundred years, let alone the different trajectories of peoples on different continents! I am trying to learn as many traditions as I can, so that I can write music from the Bible that manifests the richness of the world's Hebrew chant.

Thank you for this excellent video, as it is helping me practice for my first haftorah.
