Book 4 - Psalms 90 -106

There are 17 psalms in book 4. Over half (10) of them are without inscription or incipit.
Summary: tenor on e: 2, f#: 4, g: 1, A: 7, B: 4, C: 0. Aside - based on syllables, I think the original singers must have sung the Name. By the way, all the scores of the music for the Hebrew Bible are available from the music page.
Of Moses - not unexpectedly, the tenor is A - the mid-verse rest pitch
