This site presents the tools extracted from my database that are the byproducts of a 20 year project begun in St Andrews, Scotland in 2006 and Oxford, England in 2010. The tools are:
Dr. Binoy Venkatachellum, BSc.DCMus. founder of the Binoy School of Symphonic Music, Surrey, BC writes: The scores opening in MuseScore are amazing, a profound diligent meticulous work.
Developed over twenty years, the project has led to a complete musical representation of the full text of the Hebrew Bible. Translation and music together are presented in the 18 volume series: The Music of the Bible. The first two volumes, The Book of Job, and the Psalms are available. The remaining volumes are complete and in the production lineup.
Professor Susan Gillingham DD, Emeritus Professor of the Hebrew Bible, Worcester College, Oxford, UK writes of the Psalms: Bob MacDonald offers us here a controversial but extensively considered answer, psalm by psalm, to the familiar question: ‘So what did the music of the ancient psalms sound like?’. This is a bold and engaging work.

This section of the tools supporting my work allows the reader to see my decisions and to compare them with other translations. The visibility of the music is of necessity limited when considering only a word at a time. The accents are present but one can interpret them only in part wihout their musical context. The entire set of files for the concordance is generated from my database. The updated date is on each page.
The matrix below is a list of all 401 links to each 'page' of the concordance by letter pair. Letter pairs that are absent have zero roots beginning with that pair. All words in the Bible are present in these pages and every place that they are used. All roots are tagged for direct links. And in each page all previous words are linked to their related root.
Within any page, use the find or scroll capacity of your browser to position your focus. This concordance uses SimHebrew for the Hebrew and Aramaic words. This allows you to search using a regular keyboard and independent of any Unicode characters. For more detail consult the About page.
