About Seeing the Psalter
What is the key to both seeing and hearing the ancient poetry of the 150 Psalms?
Seeing the Psalter is a detailed examination of patterns of repeated words and sounds in each psalm and between psalms. The obvious surface soundscape is generally obscured by translations from the Hebrew. The translation in this book preserves the sounds of repeated words and their patterned sequences so that readers can hear this primary technique of the ancient writers.
It is true that parallelism is an important concept, but it is partially subjective, whereas repeated sounds are objective if they are preserved. It is also true that there is a third important factor, the music embedded in the Hebrew text itself. This translation includes an introduction to the music.
These poems of the Psalter are among the most beloved of all poetry. Now they can be read in English paying attention to the patterns of word usage in the Hebrew.
About The Song in the Night
Can you imagine what it might have been like for the ancients to hear and perform their Scripture in song?
The Song in the Night is a groundbreaking exploration of the musicality embedded in the Hebrew Bible. Utilizing the deciphering key inferred by Suzanne Haïk‐Vantoura, MacDonald reveals the ancient melodies hidden within the text, offering a fresh perspective on these sacred writings. This meticulously researched work, supported by advanced computer software, brings to life the beauty and depth of the Scriptures through music.
Perfect for theologians, musicians, and anyone interested in the intersection of faith and art, this book invites readers to experience the Bible as a carefully constructed and beautiful song.
