Singing with the Hebrew Prophets

This collection is intended for your singing along. Put in your earphones and call up a page. Click on the link to the tune. Most of those listed will get you there with a single click, a few need further futzing around. Listen and sing. Make this an occasion to hear yourself voicing once-familiar (or not-so-familiar) bits of scripture to tunes you may not have anticipated.

Assembling the contents of this collection a single work “Hebrew Prophets” in the title sent me out to seek a set of limits. My Protestant background informed me that these were the books from Isaiah to Malachi. But a Jewish source expanded that to include Joshua, Judges, First and Second Samuel and First and Second Kings. I had about 6 other compositions in the “bin”, including “The Song of Deb'ra” and “The Revolving Door”, which began their lives NOT as hymns, but as poems.

Be open to surprise. Those who first received the prophets' messages certainly were. Why not us?
