Here are the arrangements I have made of the deciphering of the te'amim from July 2019 to March 2021. [extended for completeness to include some earlier work] (See the previous post for the original work on this interpretation of the te'amim.)
The Performances are mostly mechanical. 4 have been performed live, 1 Samuel 17 as a lesson long ago - 2015?, Isaiah 12 and Psalms 145, Psalms 100. Psalms 96 is pending performance. If you would like to perform any of these liturgically or in concert, please let me know. Tweet me at drmacdonald.
