MY CD OF MYSTICAL, ANCIENT LYRE MUSIC IS OUT NOW!!! Please visit my Youtube Profile Page for details on how to order a copy... This is my accompaniment on my replica of the ancient Jewish Kinnor lyre, to one of the ORIGINAL melodies, once sang by the Levitical Choir in the Temple of Jerusalem!! Following the tragic destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70AD, the entire musical legacy of the Temple, both vocal and instrumental, seemed to be forever lost. However, the Masoretic scribes preserved (along with the biblical consonantal text itself) an ancient "reading tradition" dating back (according to themselves) to the Second Temple Era; and beginning about 1200 years ago, they painstakingly copied that tradition out in exacting detail. The Masoretic Text is still the oldest complete copy of the Hebrew Bible that we have. Part of the "reading tradition" the Masoretes preserved was a series of "accents" (te`amim), which occur throughout the entire Tanakh (Torah, Nevi'im and Ketuvim) in two systems. The Masoretes did not understand the meaning or the monumental significance of these accents, and for centuries, there have been countless theories as to what their original meaning was. Most theories have started from the assumption that they were to emphasize precise points of grammar in the text. Leaving aside all these debates, Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura concentrated soley on finding a MUSICAL meaning of these "accents". Through countless experiments and a laborious process of irrefutable verification (using the Hebrew verbal phrase structure itself as her "Rosetta Stone"), she finally realized that all these symbols represent musical tones: the degrees of a scale, or else ornaments of one to three notes...thus, she had discovered 3000 YEAR OLD, BIBLICAL MUSICAL NOTATION!!! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=dKjForhzzpU The "accents" were, in fact, representations of hand gestures, which were known to be used in antiquity (also clearly found in ancient Egyptian music) to denote both the pitch and the ornamentation of a melody. Such a system of hand gestures is known as "chironomy": http://www.rakkav.com/biblemusic/pages/chironomy.htm The truly fabulous recording I am accompanying on my replica Kinnor Lyre, is called "Ancient Echoes; Music from the Time of Jesus & Jerusalem's Second Temple" by SAVAE - quite simply, one of the most beautiful recordings of ancient music I have ever heard. Indeed, it was due to hearing this CD 2 years ago, which actually inspired me to teach myself to play the Kinnor Lyre! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=vlhymKyb7a0 http://www.savae.org http://www.myspace.com/jubalslyre This is Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura's restitution of the Priestly or Aaronic Blessing (Numbers 6:22-27)...last sang over 2000 years ago, by my very own Levite ancestors in the Temple of Jerusalem! The hardest part of playing this melody, is attempting to play accidentals on a DIATONICALLY tuned lyre...WITHOUT THE AID OF SHARPENING LEVERS! This is achieved by pressing the wooden part of the tuning key against the top of the string, thus shortening the length of the string & increasing the pitch by the required semitone.In antiquity, the lyre was strung with much lower tension gut, and so the ancient musicians would have been able to play semitones by simply pressing their fingers against the string to shorten its length - this, sadly, does not work on the horrible high tension nylon of my own replica Kinnor lyre! :o( The timeless text of this hauntingly beautiful 3000 year old melody is: May the Lord bless you and guard you -- יְבָרֶכְךָ יְהוָה, וְיִשְׁמְרֶךָ May the Lord shine His countenance toward you and be gracious to you -- יָאֵר יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וִיחֻנֶּךָּ May the Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace' -- יִשָּׂא יְהוָה פָּנָיו אֵלֶיךָ, וְיָשֵׂם לְךָ שָׁלוֹם

The third video of this series explores the topics of the Jewish messiah, basic Jewish texts, and religious functionaries.

My responses to "I Am Hebrew". How does change and unity come about if Black Liberation Theology, British Israelism, and other revisionist theologies are blocking out true Black (African), White (Caucasian and European), Hispanic (Spanish and Native Latin Americans), and other Jewish people?
