| Music of the Psalms
|
|
| Below are some of my transcriptions of the ancient music of the Psalms, based on the Masoretic te'amim. If you would like to know about the musicology behind them, you should read The Songs of Ascents, chapters 11 and 12, and subsequent articles. Some transcriptions below include English translation; others are in Hebrew only. Transcriptions of Psalms 120 to 134 are found in The Songs of Ascents.
I aim to publish the 150 Psalms in a single volume, engraved in the best modern music software, US Letter size, transcribed to modern standards of Hebrew transliteration, accompanied by notes on performance practice, and based on the Aleppo Codex text. But this means thousands of hours work, and I can't see my way to it right now.
