Translations

This post on translation has had quite a life behind my back. Over 3500 views. I am embarking on a new project these days. The hard work of the past 8 months is resulting in a presentation of the Scripture in a new form - verse by verse with the music:

•  4 versions of the same Hebrew, 
• square text fully pointed word by word over the musical staff,
• the music with its underlay derived from the Hebrew, 
• the square text with the cantillation only, for learning to sight read the music, 
• the SimHebrew text to allow those who don't read the square text to see it,  
• and my English guide with all its accumulated changes over the past 5+ years.

My working title for the series is God's Tone of Voice. I am struggling to get the Scripture out of the prison of my software into the hands and minds of those who might love it as I do. I have done about 100 chapters so far. The remaining 700 or so I hope to do over the next year. Here's an image of a page of the Song with my favorite email tag line 20 odd years ago.

Song 2:15

I can't demonstrate image clarity in a blog post because blogger doesn't support SVG images. The clarity on an iPhone, iPad or PC is excellent. The e-book is pleasant to read even on a small screen. The iPhone particularly handles images well in landscape mode.

Here's a sampler of the book(s) - the frame with a half-dozen chapters Bible Music by Example - A Sampler. You will need an epub reader to see it.
