For those who are interested in the sound of music in the ancient Temple,
I have composed a "recreated" simulation. The work is called HALLEL IN
ANCIENT STYLE. It is written for soloist, unison chorus, harp, organ and
percussion. It tries to imitate what my research and imagination indicate
how the ancient singers and instruments might have sounded.
Though the chorus is unison the parts are somewhat challenging with
changing meters and some quick rhythms. Though it has been performed
successfully by amateur choirs with many rehearsals. (A professional
harpist will be needed and two percussionists are required).
For more info email me.
