Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

For many years I have played organ at an Episcopal parish in the urban area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and for seven years I also have played piano and organ at a Reform synagogue as an occasional guest musician. In 2010 and 2011 I had the privilege of playing organ for the High Holy Days, Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, under the direction of the congregation's very able cantor, David Barash. texts of the tune Leoni have increased my awareness of what is shared between the two traditions. See example 1, in public domain. Congregations sing Leoni in synagogues and in churches. In both Hebrew and English, Leoni carries a text known as The Yigdal (which in English is Magnify [O Living God]) is a statement of faith attributed to Daniel ben Judah (c.1400) and based on the Thirteen Articles of Faith listed by Moshe ben Maimon (1135-1204), known as Moses Maimonides. Maimonides' Articles1 are 1. existence of God 2. God's unity 3. God's spirituality and incorporeality 4. God's eternity 5. God alone the object of worship 6. Revelation through God's prophets 7. pre-eminence of Moses among the prophets 8. God's law given on Mount Sinai 9. immutability of the Torah as God's Law 10. God's foreknowledge of human actions 11. Reward for good actions and retribution for evil 12. coming of the Messiah 13. resurrection. Daniel ben Judah made the Articles into thirteen Hebrew couplets,2 each with the meter 10.10 and all ending with the same rhyme. Here is the Yigdal in English without rhyme or meter: 1. Extolled and praised be the living God, who exists unbounded by time. 2. He is one of unparalleled unity, invisible and eternal, 3. Without form or figure, incorporeal, holy beyond conception, 4. Prior to all created things, the first, without date or beginning. 5. Lo! he is Lord of the world and all creation, which evince his greatness and dominion. 6. flow of his prophetic spirit has he imparted to men selected for his glory. 7. No one has appeared in Israel like unto Moses, a prophet, beholding his glorious semblance. 8. God has given the true law to his people by the hands of his trusty prophet. 9. This law God will never alter, nor change for any other. 10. He perceives and is acquainted with our secrets - sees the end of all things at their very beginning. 11. He rewards man with kindness according to his work; dispenses punishment to the wicked according to his misdeeds. 12. At the end of days by him appointed he will send our Messiah to redeem those who hope for final salvation. 13. God, in his great mercy, will recall the dead to life. Praised be his glorious name for evermore.3 Jewish Encyclopedia shows seven different tunes for the Yigdal.4 Myer Lyon5 (d. 1797), hazzan (cantor) at the Great Synagogue in London, notated the tune he sang, which is known as Leoni or Yigdal. Two stanzas of the Yigdal fit one stanza of Leoni. See example 2, in public domain. In 1770 Thomas Olivers paraphrased the Yigdal for Leoni and in several stanzas made it a Christian hymn published as The God of Abraham praise. Olivers' text has twelve stanzas, eight of which are in Evangelical Lutheran Worship, 2006, #831. Eleven appear in Lutheran Book of Worship, 1978, #544. All twelve are given by Routley.6 Rabbi Max Landsberg (d. 1915), of Temple Berith Kodesh, Rochester, New York, worked with two Unitarian ministers, Newton M. Mann and William C. Gannett,7 to produce an English paraphrase which could be sung by Jews as well as Christians: Praise to the living All five stanzas are in Union Hymnal, #54;8 four of the five stanzas are in Hymnal 1982, #372. See example 3, in public domain. At present in Canada and the United States some Christian hymnals use the first stanza of The God of Abraham praise (or its opening line) followed by a selection of stanzas from Praise to the living God. …

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
