The Music of the Bible Revealed: Psalms 24

Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura, LA MUSIQUE DE LA BIBLE RÉVÉLÉE (Harmonia Mundi France), Track 03.

This slideshow of Psalms 24 includes the consonantal Hebrew Masoretic Text and modified versions of the transliteration and translation provided by Lev Software. The arrangement for modern instruments and the vocal harmonies are of course SHV's, but the ancient melodic line, modality and choral alternation were inferred by her from the Masoretic Text (Letteris Edition).

This Psalm is one of the most grandiose in the Psalter, beginning in "harmonic minor" and then augmenting the 4th degree of the mode until the last two clauses (during which the 4th degree becomes natural again). Here the arrangement is taken from SHV's original 1976 recording (now out of print). SHOFAR's demo recording is in some ways even more intense.
