Select a volume link below to explore the underlying musical assets. The music scores are available in two distinct formats: .mscz files created in Musescore, and universal .xml trees for use by other music programs.
Each directory also contains a color-coded visual map tracking the melodic contours and shapes of each chapter—allowing you to inspect the architecture of the music at a glance. Included at the top of each map is an audio for the chapter.
In the contour map, you can highlight a motif and search for it in the rest of the canonical text. Click a row to see recurring phrases in the chapter. Click the search button in the navigation block to see wider distribution of the motif. An audio for each verse is available for these pages.
Motifs are mapped from 3 to 5 consecutive reciting notes (defined by the accents below the text).The motif matrix form will truncate longer search strings. On the Musical Motif pages, you can manually type the note sequence you wish to search for and press the Search Motif button.
For English for any Hebrew word on a page with a single chapter showing, select the text for the word and you will get on right-click or long press a link to the word root concordance entry. On some screens, the text is in English, and on some including all word concordance pages, the text of the verse is available in the title. The title will show on the hover event on a computer.
A table of ornaments (accents above the text) used on each recitation pitch (the preceding accent below the text) gives us an ornament concordance by pitch with filtering by book and toggle of niqqud to help learn the full set of cantillation signs. An audio for each verse is available for these pages.
Access the word concordance for my translation via the matrixto look for particular words that you wish to see the music for. See the helper links below to the definition of SimHebrew, finding a root, and to the glossary, to focus your search as needed.
Organized by letter-pair, you can construct the link and book mark for any root easily, e.g. mlc (king , etc) is in ./ml.html#mlc.
Gematria for each word has been added to the concordance. The Gematria concordance for a verse is constructed by summing its letters. The prime factors of the sum allow us to examine the mathematics of the text. A toggle to see the gematria is also available on the ornament chapter pages.
There is a phrase list containing all the shapes of phrases, approaching the atnah, and returning to the tonic, and verses without a subdominant. You can search in this file using your browser search facility.
The base data come from a trace I included in the Unicode to MusicXML program written c 2013. It has over 730,000 rows, one row for every syllable in Tanach. Additional files have been generated to support the Hebrew, the English guide, and the responsiveness of the interactive displays.
A limited nuber of links to performances are available through the directory VideoPlus. The page also includes a link to an archive.org copy of the DVD distributed by Suzanne Haïk-Vantoura's Editor, Jonathan Wheeler.
All these tools and performances allow us to see, hear, and imagine what musical language the text requires as seen by the originators of the te'amim. Please note that if there is some view of the data you wish to see, you can ask me, or you can pull the repository to your local machine and begin to learn its possibilities. AI can write Python, HTML, and Javascript and manipulate mscz files if you can specify what you want. These ancient prophet musicians had a large school of music and many years of training (and no snakes writing software).
