Have
you ever wondered what
music in the time of
Jesus sounded like? Based
on several years of
intense study and
research, Christopher
Moroney and SAVAE have
imaginatively and
brilliantly reconstructed
the msuic that Jesus
might have heard in the
temple and synagogue of
the first century C.E.
The ensemble learned to
play reconstructed
instruments of the period
especially for this
recording--varieties of
plucked and bowed
strings, wind instruments
like the shofar and
flute, and percussion.
The music has been
recreatd from Hebrew
melodic fragments,
Babylonian Jewish music,
and traditional songs
that have passed down
through the ages from the
time of Jesus. The end
result is an amazing
restoration of what Jesus
may have heard.
Highlights include
settings of the Lord's
Prayer and the
Beatitudes, Miriam's Song
of the Sea, the Ten
Commandments, and the
traditional Shema Israel
(Hear, O Israel).
