#Psalmtweet #Psalter 19:8

 I have chosen the second section of the psalm.

The music connects it to the first section.

תּ֘וֹרַ֤ת יְהוָ֣ה תְּ֭מִימָה מְשִׁ֣יבַת נָ֑פֶשׁ
עֵד֥וּת יְהוָ֥ה נֶ֝אֱמָנָ֗ה מַחְכִּ֥ימַת פֶּֽתִי
8 ♪~ The instruction of Yahweh is complete, repairing any being.
The testimony of Yahweh is faithful, making wise simplicity.
k tort ihvh tmimh mwibt npw
ydut ihvh namnh mkcimt pti
12
13
tvr\t ihvh tmm\h m/wib\t npw
yd\vt ihvh n/amn\h m/kcm\t pti

The heavens and the Torah work together. Science, the uncovering of the workings of the heavenly bodies, and our earthly bodies, is not in conflict with instruction, as uncovered for us through the Torah and its keys.

Here's a snippet of my oratorio. I build a fugal entry using the raw material from the accents. Come composers, I am sure some of you could do much better than I have with these suggestive melodies. All the raw material is in the manuscript.
