Music

Of necessity more than desire, the music of the te'amim is not emphasized on this site. Book 10 of my published ebooks allows you to search sequences of te'amim in the text of the Hebrew Bible. These ‘marks of taste’ translate into music. You will find no lack of emphasis at this link.

You can browse my translation series here.

You can find further explanations of the music on wiki here. I am always disappointed by wiki's assumption of the failure of Haïk-Vantoura's key. Their opinion is not substantiated with the experience of 10 years exploring and arranging the music using her clear deciphering of the information embedded in the te'amim. Nonetheless in the wiki post, there is some clarity on the names and systems in traditional use. There are also material errors: Sof pasuk and silluq are not the same. There are no sof passuq's in the Aleppo Codex, the source ms for the te'amim.
