Mi Kamocha - Shani Ferguson מי כמוך- שני פרגסון

Really enjoying the CD. You guys are very talented and annointed. Can't wait to play with you in Paradise. I met your bass player when I was in Israel. Took home Concert for the New Massiah CD. Total worship. Wish I could understand Hebrew. Can't wait till we all speak the same language. You guys are my heros, right in the thick of it. Stay strong. We're praying for you.

kripky, I don't see why everyone gets so bent out of shape over pronunciation in Hebrew (ancient or modern). I've got a buddy who flips if he just hears suggested variations of "ת" or "ג". My degree is in English (Tech writing), and after all the grammar and writing courses I left University with the understanding that If you say something one way, and people who receive it also say it the same way, then you are saying it "appropriately!"

Shani I see that my lomg comment below got cut off. What I wrote was: that's my shikul. And how does Paul Wilbur sing it? May God bless you as you use the gift He gave you.

@ThisLeah1 thank you!

[ThisLeah1]

Okay, just listened to Paul Wilbur singing it here on youtube. He actually does sing fele! However, he mispronounces "ba'elim". Oh well, guess no one's perfect. :)

[ThisLeah1]

Meant to type "as you well know", not "as you well you". Sorry.

Hi Shani, thanks for responding. When you say "my music", I assume you mean "music that I sing". As far as I can tell, Paul Wilbur wrote the melody, and the words are straight from Exodus 15:11. This verse is also a very well-known prayer in the synagogue, so for Israelis, as you well you, there would be no need to change fele to pele so that they would understand. In fact, singing pele might signal to them that you are unfamiliar with the prayer (I'm not saying that's the case). That is my shi

@ThisLeah1 When I said "my music" I was referring to all my music, this is one of the few times I redid someone else's song. But in other songs that I write I combine ancient and modern Hebrew concepts. Hebrew is my first language and I like to mix ancient Hebrew with the modern Israeli culture I grew up in. I didn't change it so that Israelis would understand, they obviously understand either. I simply pronounced the word the way it would be spoken today - pele. :) hope that explains

[ThisLeah1]

Did Paul Wilbur write the melody? I see his name in the tags.

[ThisLeah1]

Yeah, it's a beautiful version. Who wrote the melody?  It's a pity she sings "pele" instead of "fele". Check your Bibles, folks!

[shanifergusonmusic]

@ThisLeah1 My music is a blend of ancient and modern Hebrew. It makes no difference whether the word is pronounced pele or fele, it's the same word. Glad you enjoy it :)
