Synopsis Episode 36: Modern Psalms in Ancient Rhythm (1)
I introduce the reader, first, to ancient psalmodic rhythm by reading (and “conducting”) the opening passages of Psalm 92 (“A Psalm, A Song for the Sabbath Day”) in Hebrew, dramatizing their melodic wordsong achievement. Then, picking up the theme of sabbath, I recite 7 of my modern psalms, all written in the rhythm of my biblical mentor-poems. Kabbalistic and Sufi theme are introduced.
