The 104th Psalm has long been known as the “Creation Psalm.” It presents a poem about the creation of the world. One of the longer psalms, it is traditionally divided into 35 verses.<\/p>\n

The melody of this song is traditional by the community of Babylonian Jews. It was passed down from generation to generation through the history of prayers in the synagogues. The frequent changes in rhythm and other signs proves the composition is based on the oral praying text of prayers in synagogues.\u00a0 The core of this music was the text, reading the Psalm.<\/p>\n

The arrangement of the ensemble tries to give the same historical and ancient feeling (using ancient instruments) and at the same time bring a touch of our contemporary times.<\/p>\n

Psalm 104 is the most viewed traditional Jewish chant (played live) on YouTube.<\/p>\n

The arrangement and creation process<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Yonnie Dror, who plays the wind instruments in Yamma found this magical chant in an old book of Jewish chants. The Jerusalem Babylonian version, in which frequent changes occur in rhythm, caught his ear, intrigued him to explore and learn deeply this unique ancient psalm which originated in the Jewish community of Iraq. (Yonnie’s father immigrated to Jerusalem from Iraq during the 50s).<\/p>\n

Yonnie wrote a full arrangement for the five-member ensemble. The group has recorded the psalm and set it free from the old book to the global online net. The hymn became a YouTube hit, just before falling into oblivion.<\/p>\n","image":false,"embedded_video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/--UABwqW9Sg?list=RDmwUYGHx2KeY","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"Psalm 104 in music","main_caption":"Barchi Nafshi - Yamma Ensemble","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"Psalm 104 is the most viewed traditional Jewish chant (played live) on YouTube","preview_embedded":"","preview_image":false,"preview_video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/--UABwqW9Sg?list=RDmwUYGHx2KeY","external_link":"","link_for_pay":false,"tile_gallery_items":false,"credits":""},"alternate_tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"","hide_media":false},"tile_group":{"preview_image_url":false,"main_caption":"","sub_caption":"","":null,"popup_package_extra_content":"","read_time":""},"home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo":{"seo_title":"","seo_description":"","seo_default_title":"","seo_default_description":""},"links":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88516"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=88516"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":88518,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/88516\/revisions\/88518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=88516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=88516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=88516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
