The accents of the Hebrew Bible

Ken Schenck has been exploring accents and includes an example for Jonah 1:4

Here is an image of what the original is when translated (by automation) into the music:

Jonah 1:4 - the raw data with a superimposed rough English translation

Jonah - the whole story is interpreted here in my arrangements of the tunes from the accents with the odd nod to Gershwin.

 

The accents are music or I wouldn't have had a chance to do this. The story is very aptly set to music - it is a 'tale' of course.
