A Twenty-Year Interdisciplinary Study
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. My desire was first to learn Hebrew and, after Oxford, to rediscover the embedded music in the text.
For an introduction, see the wiki pages
You will find all the following items linked by volume in the volume directory Music Scores.
.mscz files)..xml files that can be read and formatted by any music program.
"The scores opening in MuseScore are amazing, a profound, diligent, meticulous work."

A complete musical presentation of the full text of the Hebrew Bible, translation and music, is packaged into an 18-volume series spanning roughly 6,600 pages.

📄 David C. Mitchell: Notes to Accompany the Cantata of Psalms (Oxford, 2010) — Historical program notes recovered from my 2010 Oxford files bridge the Masoretic te'amim back to the Second Temple of Jerusalem via the Elders of Bathyra.
The deciphering key of Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura splits the complexity of the te'amim in the Hebrew Scriptures by the observation that some of the symbols are used below the text and are always present in every verse while the remainder are over the text and may not be present in a verse.
For further information and analysis please see my Substack notes and articles, e.g. A Rare Verse Shape in Hebrew Poetry. For an example of how to use this site, please see Psalm 117. For a one page summary (two sided) see this document.
The translation is available separately in The SimHebrew Bible from Qualum Publishing. For more information about SimHebrew and the reasoning behind it, see SimHebrew.net.
Note that GitHub is for research. Researchers may fetch the entire site to write programs that will analyse the data and make additional features and results available. You can learn more in theread-me.
If you want to compare word choices and translation decisions with another site, I do recommend this one which I have just encountered (Sept 2026), from the jovial cynic BibleNP. I think you may find it complementary with respect to tradition where this music site is more controversial. The list of commentaries on bibleNP is worth the click. Keep both sites up -- NP for assistance with reading the Hebrew. THBAM (this site) for learning the trope and seeing and hearing the music.
