[HANASHIR:8686] Re: Hall'lee?

[Naomi Hirsch <nhirsch...>]

Dear Abby,

Perhaps your student was referring to a musical setting of Psalm 146.  The
opening text of that psalm is:
"Halleluyah--Hall'li (Hall'lee) Nafshi et-Adoshem."

The setting of this psalm that I am most familiar with and that is sung a
great deal at choral festivals and concerts, as well as on recordings, is by
Salamone Rossi.  I hope this helps.

Naomi

P.S.  BTW--I wonder if you remember me.  We met in Austin at Temple Beth
Israel a number of years ago.  :)
