Psalm 89

In Seeing the Psalter, I ignored the music except for a very short introduction on page 400 for Psalm 120. I was concentrating on the words at the time and they are of course still important, but the music supports them as do the word recurrence patterns that I exhibited in the earlier work. There I divided the psalm into three large sections, 1-19, 20-38, and 39-53. Here is the musical analysis for these sections.

Psalms 89: 

(Verses 1 to 19) Syllables: 366; Longest recitation: 9; Tenor:  f#  23.50%;

Ornament density: 9.7%; Average phrase length: 9.8.

(Verses 20 to 38) Syllables: 318; Longest recitation: 14; Tenor:  B  23.58%;

Ornament density: 8.2%; Average phrase length: 8.4.

(Verses 39 to 53) Syllables: 266; Longest recitation: 9; Tenor:  f#  28.95%;

Ornament density: 8.3%; Average phrase length: 9.1.

I noted and fixed a number of errors in the music by comparing the Aleppo codex with the Leningrad codex. Several of them in Psalms 119 and 89 were on the words your faithfulness, אֱ֝מ֥וּנָתְךָ֗. Several times since the start of the project in October, I have repaired this word combination in psalms 36, 88, 89, 92, 119, and 143.

The word faithfulness occurs 7 times in this psalm. Note how it is set in the various parts of the verses 2, a motif imitated in verse 3, 6 a more typical second half of a verse, the motif of verse 6 imitated in verse 9. My faithfulness (occurs only in this psalm in the Bible) is in the first part of verse 25. Verse 34 looks like an error in the Aleppo codex -- but there is no extant prior manuscript to compare it with. Verse 50 is similarly at a low tessitura. Perhaps the lament of the text supports it. These instances can be compared with other settings of the words in the psalms: 36 v6, 40 v11, 88 v12, 92 v3, 119 v90, 143 v1.
