THE SONG BOOK OF THE BIBLE—part 2
The inspired
psalms are an interesting, exciting, and quite fascinating collection of
ancient Hebrew poetry. These Hebrew
songs are the largest and oldest complete collection of mono-theistic religious
poetry and melodies surviving in the world today. This collection of lyric poetry is studied
and respected by saints and scholars throughout the world. Even those who do not respect the Bible as
the inspired word of God, revere this book for the quality of its poetical verse.
The quality of this Hebrew lyric poetry gives
credence to the belief that there was a high level of literary and musical
development among the ancient Hebrew culture.
The recent deciphering of the "Biblical accents" or the
te'amim by Suzanne Haik-Vantoura has produced what she believes are the actual
melodies of the psalmody of the Bible.
In Chapter VIII the subject of the deciphering of the te'amim will be
treated more thoroughly.
