A Psalm of Thanksgiving

 Here's the original music of Psalm 100 and an English variation for cantor and chorus. I am working on a motet based on these phrases. It is slow work for me to work within this implied harmonic structure.

Direct from the data without modification:

English arrangement for cantor and chorus

Work in process - choral arrangement - (a half-dozen endings tried - couldn't make a cadence in E convincing - seems plausible now!) 

Haïk-Vantoura's version in her own handwriting here and here shows some significant differences in the Letteris edition compared to the WLC (verse 3). The text from a recent reconstruction of the Aleppo Codex agrees with the WLC in this case. There is a performance in Hebrew here.
